TESTING TESTING TESTING...👀👥😌😌😌😌😌😌😌😌😌👤👤👤👐👐👐👐👐👐👐👐

This week all our teachers have been focussing on testing  their students to see what their reading levels are at, and what progress has been made since returning from the holidays.

Why do we Test?

In teacher language we call this Assessment of learning.

Assessment /Testing in curriculum areas is carried out so that we can see where teachers need to contribute to the improvement of the learning in each classroom.

By Assessing  what is learnt on a regular basis we are able to :

Improve on our teaching and learning.

Summarise achievements.

Monitor individual levels of achievement.

These achievements are very important when it comes to report writing as well.

I have  had the pleasure of being in many different classrooms this week, working with the class while the teacher has focussed on assessing childen in writing,  and reading '

I have been very impressed with the ways in which our Junior classes have been focussing on their learning, and embedding our school values into the ways in which they work togther with each other and in support of each others learning.

Definitly my bag of fale tokens had to be filled up again very quickly as so many tokens were given out  to those who were focussing on learning activities, which was very much EVERYONE in the class.

Well done junior classes! I was VERY PROUD OF YOU ALL👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👻
