WHAT WENT WELL	Management of planning and organisation is going very well. I feel like I am keeping on top of the work load well. Not feeling very stressed and am happy with how things are for the time being. I am enjoying reflecting and changing things and watching the children’s reactions and how they adapt to these changes.
WHAT COULD GO BETTER	Still working on mat manners. These children are very chatty! Reflecting on Reading planning and rotation. I have read through the observation and I am thinking about what to change for next term.

AGENDA	Reflect on Dezaiah’s contract Look at Numicon together - look at in holidays Planning Folder to be compiled - check if this will be before the holidays Assessments / Reporting Strand - Judith BT time
Dezaiah	Had some really good days last week. Lots of praise and continuous use of his contract. Today he was more disruptive, tiredness may have been a factor. He begun to argue. This has not been common in his behaviour before. I dealt with it by giving him a choice.
Numicon	Will look over during the school holidays.
Planning Folder to be compiled	Next week - Make sure it has required documents etc - No time as had parent teacher interviews - need to check if Ilisa requires this before the holidays. If so, a MUST DO next week.
Reporting	Mid-year reports not sent out prior. All going OK. Identified the parents concerns as my own concerns in report - i.e. dealt with already. Completed 4 - 1 to go.

OBSERVATION TIME & FOCUS	Week 10 Tuesday - reading- at 11:50 Guided lesson. Judith to monitor Room 6.

WHAT WENT WELL	Routines are becoming much more clearer for the children. They know where to books for marking and what to move onto when they have finished an activity. The desk point system is working really well at the moment. The children are encouraged to get their whole table ready and organised before the bell so that they can have a point. They are also encouraging each other to work quietly and focus on their work. I have had some good comments on my blogs this week from the senior staff. I have been ensuring that I revisit this every week.
WHAT COULD GO BETTER	Mat manners. Lately, especially today the children have been really restless on the mat. I am trying to go over the ‘give me 5’ rules, giving lots of positive praise and giving regular movement breaks.

AGENDA	Report Writing - go through one report Reflect on Dezaiah’s contract Look at Numicon together - look through box, material etc Staff Meeting - Walk through Planning Folder to be compiled Assessments Appraisal - 16th March
Report Writing	Meet with Jo to discuss etap. Need to sit with Ilisa to go through the data that needs to go on etap Jo - went over assessment to put in the report, where to go on etap to put in comments etc. Steps: Graph of anniversary and mid-year anniversary - completed Go through Profile Learning Foldes of anniverary and mid-year anniversary children. Check order of contents - This has been completed. Most important are these assessments: The follow assessments first: Running Record, Maths Profile, Writing Sample (taken out of their book or writing sample. Suggestion to do whole class as 9 reports are due. Have writing sample template. Complete rubrics of writing and reading. Use different coloured pens or highlighters. Other assessments to complete: Handwriting sample, oral language, click lists, phonics ( sometimes strand maths, inquiry) Load all data onto etap - Look at Assessment Checklist that Ilisa sent out. Go into Learner Hub - Enter OTJ for reading writing and maths Go into Markbooks - Enter data as per Assessment Checklist. Look at previous last report and look at the ‘next steps’. Hopefully they have achieved this and this can be positive comments to put in first. If not achieved - say ‘continue …’ Reading/Maths/Writing - Where they are at, attitude comment, what they can do; next steps (get this from the rubrics) Helen and Brittany to come up with an Inquiry comment for Term 2 (include swimming and social relationships/care) To do reports - Go to Learner Hub, Click Assessments, Click down box of anniversary or mid - make sure in 2016, click on the icon beside the person and you’re in. Levels are Level 1 / Level 1. OVER SAVE. GENERAL COMMENTS: - Character, attitude overall,social relationships with peers, following instructions, sitting on mat, work habits, presentation of work, helpful, self-manage, belfast motto - care, Student comment - What they enjoy about school, what they are good at, what they would like to get better at, what are they proud about - themselves.

OBSERVATION TIME & FOCUS	Observation when swimming finishes Week 7 - morning routine Week 9 - reading

WHAT WENT WELL	Use of hands up chart. This is nonverbal. When children call out on the mat they are totally ignored and their name is written in the box. This means I am not interrupted and the lesson can continue. The children calling out can see the warning and as soon as they correct their behaviour and put their hand up I can rub off their warning.
WHAT COULD GO BETTER	My morning routine is very long at this point. It can sometimes take me right up to 9:30 and cut into my writing time. This is something that I am thinking about at this point in time.

Goals? I am not sure how to approach this at this point.

Maths programme: Where do I start?

Use the graphs for their goals; match up these with your assessments/observations to date e.g. look through writing books, quick running records, maths - perhaps do some quick snapshots.
Maths time - aim to get as many snapshots as possible. Have very quick hotspot game/activity, then set up maths rotations - dice games, board game, murtles, cards - games you have already taught. Catch up on Wednesday next BT day.
By the end of the year I will have moved to Stage ? in Numeracy.
By the end of the year I will have completed all of the Number Knowledge in Stage ? in Numeracy - need to check with Ilisa on this wording (child who has already achieved Stage)

OBSERVATION TIME & FOCUS	Observed Helen’s swimming routine and management last week. Seeing Jess today. I am focusing on her Morning routine and behaviour management.
Visiting	Week 2 and Week 3 Observe morning routines - different classes Jess - Week 3 Give notice Week 4 - Helen to observe morning routine - 9-9.30am Week 5 & 6 - reading lessons - Helen & LMS
WHAT WENT WELL	Reading programme is going well so far. I am trying to manage the noise level during this time. I am also trying to monitor the way they are spending their time at this point. Suggestion to have a shaker/triangle, light noise that can be heard that you shake and this tells the children they need to use inside voices. Your expectation is that the noise goes down straight away. Three chances - completely quiet 5/10 minutes of complete silence. If not spend playtime inside practising. I noticed the children were not stopping and listening when I have given them an attention cue. We rehearsed this and they are much better at stopping. Keep repeating - Y chart
WHAT COULD GO BETTER	Managing Dezaiah’s behaviour, still being disruptive. I am in the process of creating a class contract with him with some kind of extrinsic reward. Mat manners: children are still not showing mat manners. I am using the GIve Me 5 chard as a prompt at this stage. Numeracy Programme
Observations Forms	Templates are on the Server under Tutor Teacher.
Criteria & Key Indicators	Viewed Brittany’s blog - fantastic. I’m going to copy it. Set up with links in respect of criteria and key indicators.
Suggestions on how to use CRT & BT Release Time	OK with using time. Already completed 2 observations in other classes Aim one per release time Setting goals that are achievable Seeing key people to help with programme/planning Saw Kristine today regarding referrals. Children needing extension - see Cara (G & T meeting) morning tea or lunchtime - observe children playing - find out who their friends are and who they play with. Assessment catch ups for report time do fortnight / 10 days before so they are ready to be marked on the Friday before the anniversary reporting date (last Thursday in each month) Start 2nd March - focus on numeracy (profile sheet) Week 7-11th March Assessment week - 10 students; ·

FOCUS	Focus on mentoring programme. Viewed Full Support Kit of PRT programme (old 2010), possibly viewed on Education Council website Etap – first box is username and Belfast School password, second password is Belfast. Print out class lists, medial, parents, contact numbers, ethnicity etc Can go to first page or through learner hub Can print off pupil lists etc Attendance – can be done through Hub or easier to view on the Central Page that comes up first. Codes to be put in for Late, Medical etc School intranet - http://intranet.belfast.school.nz/ At school Login will come up automatically – put in username and password (normal school one). This can be accessed at home via intranet – Network Files – Saturn that you click. Gmail – setting up labels etc – Cathy expert here next year. Swimming – discussed SLO of children – basically concentrate on confidence in water and Module 2 & 3 – technical stuff is for the experts. View Helen on BT day Possibility of having training from Kiwi Safe at the beginning of the year – all teachers allowed half hour free tuition. 2015 format – 3 days lessons, 1 day water confidence, 1 day water safety (last two due to lack of time). Swim on second day of school. Focus on routine, behaviour first week. Google document Went through - sharing document, calendar - all accessed from Google mail page. Go through Junior resource books to get familiar – near photocopier Has codes First two week - El Gregoe - google him - bullying/social relationships, one man, puppet/live birds show. Sending a message to children. - potential draw / recount. something about Waitangi - book you can read - in library Class Treaty - incorporate class rules, maori dialect, Walk about school - in case you have new children, boundaries of Junior playground. expectations Year 2 - only Junior Playground in Terms 1, 2, and 3. Term 4 may change to LMS as Junior playground has too many children! Check your duty roster and that times are OK. Art displays up for Week 3 when parents come to visit. Attempt to do a fresh running record - comprehension and retell especially for the higher levels. This is your record for 2016 - gives you the ‘out’ if they are below from last year. Quick snapshot of numeracy strategy stage - see BF Assessment Plan Folder under Additon & Subtraction Snapshots or do on NUMPA or JAM in their Profiles. INtroduce reading and maths games. Hotspot activity could be a game and then that session is playing games while you do snapshots. Class Descriptions & Reliever Kit due Week 3 - use previous ones as templates - can use etap summary / pupil lists / medical / ethnicity etc for this. Useful websites - Activity Village - templates, colouring in templates, craft ideas etc, Pinterest - ART, TES - register but no costs, Primary Resources Check with Judith - BT release teacher. $50 allowance each term for own use in classroom.
