I tested the children on whether they could identify shapes and their properties and then recorded this progress i.e. testing whether they knew what a triangle, circle, hexagon, pentagon, square, and rectangle were and how many sides or curves (circle) they have.
I played a numeracy game with a group of children - they needed to put two counters in two pots (out of three pots) and each pot would have a number on - the children would then tell me what their number sentence was i.e. 2+3=5 with the counters having been placed in the '2' pot and '3' pot. This was testing the children on their grasp of number problems in a lower ability set, the children found this difficult.
I heard some children read as normal and marked their progress off in their reading diary and the teacher's reading record folder.
This was an unusual week due to the children having photos taken and a planned fire drill (which never happened in the end due to the children having their photos taken).
Wednesday 16th October
I helped the children with their letter practice 'y' 'g' 'l' 'j'
There was disruption due to the photos being taken and children were leaving the classroom to have photos taken with siblings. It was lovely to see the children pose for their photos as we went to the hall as a class for the session. I was managing the behaviour of the children who had had their photos taken trying to contain the noise levels - the children were excited and eager to talk to their friends about what was going on - bless them!
There was no P.E. either due to the photo session, I therefore heard children read and helped two children put out the reading bookbags as well as fetching the lunch bags . I checked on one child's hand who said she couldn't feel it and it was numb! It turned out to be okay.
