Inquiry End of Year Reflections

This is what happened for my students:

At the beginning of the year I did writing following Dr. Gwyneth Phillips writing programme. iPads were used as a resource to record students ideas and then replayed to write the sentence.down in their books.This approach showed an increase in children's confidence and some children moved towards becoming independent writers.
At this time I decided to change my inquiry group to students who were capable of writing a few sentences however I wanted to extend their ideas using rich topic related vocabulary. I decided to follow Dr. Jannie van Hees writing programme using visual images and gifting vocabulary and word groups.
The evidence that I have for this is:
The students writing in their books, class blog, individual blog posts, Class On Air Episodes books, e -Asstle data and Six Year Net Data.

This graph is a visual representation of data in the table above.

The data shows that overall most students in my focus group performed well.I am so very proud of them. They have worked hard this year.

Inquiry Term 4, Week 1

Term 4 has come way too quickly and it will be a busy term with testing, reports and prize giving items. This term our inquiry focus is "Telling stories through drama." We will be reading lots of stories and legends and then will be writing about some of them.
I will continue using a brainstorm to help children put their ideas in correct sequence.
I will use images and visuals as a resource to support learners. My focus will be on the  characters in the story and gifting lots of topic related vocabulary, word groups for characters or parts of the story.
A very useful resource:

I have used this resource in the past and I think it will be useful for my focus group. An exciting term ahead and will be interested to see how my students progress this term.

Writing Term 1 Week 10.
