Children's creativity

Reflection

Week 6 Term 3

The school 60th Jubilee Preparation involve dancing and music.

This has been an amazing opportunity for language development.

We created words woodle to describe our cultural dance.

This has equipped learners to write about the event which was the highlight of our term 3.

WHAT DOES THIS MEAN TO MY PRACTISE?

A strong message and reminder that we have to create situation that hook the children so they can make connection and stir conversation to make learning meaningful for them. 

Vocabulary Wall

Vocabulary wall in the classroom and online is a way of letting the learners identify words and referring back to words indentifie

Word Collocation

I introduced  Word collocation - this is finding words that goes togetherA collocation is two

or more words that often go together.

EXAMPLE: remember rightly, remember distinctly, remember vaguely, remember vividly).

This is very new to my students, however, we tried to find word collocation and to use it in writing. 

Have continued to gift vocabulary, using of vocabulary. 

NOTICING AND GIFTING VOCABULARY

WEEK 2 TERM 3
This week I have picked vocabulary that I think would be challenging for my learners in different areas.  I gifted them the language.  We discussed the  words in context and used the words in other context. The students then apply the word to the VOCABULARY WEB.


Below is a vocabulary web  - My learners were very keen to do this activity. They responded well and motivated to complete the task.  I still need to know what impact it has on their learning.
