Writing easstle scores show no improvement but within our class we know there has been some drastic improvements this term. We have been teaching recount structures which has really supported some of our students to write more detail. They can now write several sentences that make sense and follow a logical sequence. They are quick to write and no longer seem to struggle at writing time.
Numeracy has also been progressing well. We have a group of students who are working through some stage 4 knowledge and strategies successfully. None of these students are yet 6. One even showed some stage 5 strategies in his Gloss. This is really exciting and it challenges us to keep pushing them forward without leaving any gaps.
