End of Term Reflection

What an overloaded term, Term One seemed to be with so much happening and all we covered over a short time. There were some real highlights such as camp, leading the Support Staff through using the mimo (-what a great group of ladies they are and really interested and motivated to have a go) and some of the writing the kids are producing. Also the way the kids are goal setting and being more reflective about their work is really great. I have had good feedback about Storybird -especially fromTC's mum.
However, I feel I need to get some real continuity going this next term especially in my reading programme which has been OK but not really humming.
 I feel pretty down about getting my target kids up to scratch - the boys that is -hopefully the agencies -such as the C& A M H Support and RTLB will be helpful in giving strategies that may be effective. It is also hard when one child can have such a negative effect on the class -myself included, because of his unpredictable behaviour.
This week is the last week of the break and I have to get geared up with syndicate organisation -newsletter, etc.., mimio PD etc.. back to school shortly I think.
I need to look at what needs to go on the kids blog - not much has been done here, perhaps get a digital toolkit going for the kids -thanks to Jacqui Sharp, also get a handle on Google docs for Ed.
