Room+3

Melissa Young __ROUND ONE__ Term Two begun with me working in Room 3 alongside Melissa. The focus was on the reading programme and making sure we were giving all children the best support we could. This included finding out what the children like and dislike about reading. The results gave Melissa an insight into the way children see reading as a subject at school and as a leisure activity.

I also set up an email account for the class so that could email letters home as part of their letter writing unit. It was very exciting checking each day for replies! You can email Room 3 at room3parkland@gmail.com They would love to hear from you!

__ROUND TWO __Melissa wanted to me to revisit the writing exemplars with her class to clarify their understanding of what a successful Level 2 writer looks like. The children amazed me with their very clear understanding of what is expected, in writing, for children their age (Melissa was pretty impressed too!). They were able to discuss their strengths and identify what they needed to work on next.

During the week I was also able to set up a Writing Skills box of activities for those children who need extra support with letter formation, handwriting and finger/hand strength.
