We have set up several well-regarded programs in our classroom to help progress our learners in literacy and numeracy.
These include Storytelling (to improve the oral and written literacy of our students), Yolanda Soryl (to improve phonics, reading and writing) which continues from 2017 and also Numicon to help our mathematicians who need visual, manipulative materials in their maths journey. This also continues on from 2017, but I have trained in Numicon since Miss Gardyne moved to the senior syndicate.
We also continue with Daily 5 but have reflected that our capable readers now need more choice and agency over their independent time so we have introduced SSR and technology-based follow up activities. We will extend this in term 2 to mini 'passion-projects' and utilising Seesaw during independent reading time.
Computer Science, Coding, and Robotics will be up and running in term 2 as an inquiry option for students. An important component of our program with the changes to the technology curriculum.
Areas of improvement for our curriculum delivery could be mathematics. I'd like to see a more problem-solving, inquiry approach so would like to research Jo Boaler and Bobby Maths for this purpose. Also, refining inquiry and elements of passion projects/genis hour to teach skills and competencies as well as given students greater choice and agency over their own learning.
