We isolate a word, say the word, try to explain the word and then if appropriate, act out the word. For example: When teaching dance vocabulary, we have focused on words like twist, bend, reverse and behind. Partner and peer-to-peer discussions are also very helpful when learning new words/language.

- building relationships with all families to discover background and learning needs (academic and wellbeing) 
- co creating with the students visual anchor charts to support routines and learning 
- relating learning to real life experiences. 

I would like to: 
- have more visuals in the learning community to label items, resources and equipment
- ensure the visuals and anchor charts are all student centred with photos of the students so they can make connections to the experiences 
- check in with parents on a regular basis to ensure if there is anything I need to know about the family and students background and what works best at home so I can further support the child at school. ]]> 2023-02-16 11:56:14 UTC https://padlet.com/carlymarieclark/m6wk1mvxbu56ddjv/wish/2484864822 https://padlet.com/carlymarieclark/m6wk1mvxbu56ddjv/wish/2485825217 Current Practise:

- Discussion and modelling prior to independent work. Opportunities for student to express verbal, teacher to record and students to copy.

-visual anchor charts that students can refer back to
-breaking down and explaining the key vocabulary in the Learning Intention and Success Criteria

I would like to:
-regularly check in with students and see how they are understanding key vocabulary in lessons
-discuss with families at Meet the Teacher if there is anything that may impact their child’s happiness or learning as it may give an insight into the student’s life that wasn’t known.
