Identity Poem


  1. Name in the centre
  2. Arms off to the sides with:
    1. What comes in the post? 
    2. What it might be wrapped with?
    3. What could it be tied together with? 
    4. Toys you played with as a child
    5. Different landscapes
  3. Write your full name and count up the number of letters in your name. 
  4. Write any meanings or origins of your name. 
Template for below poem taken from:

The Janelle Ruth Harris Poem

Janelle Ruth Harris is a jumbled newspaper
tied with rough brown string.

Janelle Ruth Harris is a Cabbage Patch Kid
emerging from a garden patch tended distractedly. 

Janelle Ruth Harris is a tiny Island
happy is isolation.

Whenever I peep in mirrors
Janelle Ruth Harris glows back at me. 
It's optimistically hollow.

Janelle Ruth Harris is 17 letters
plucked carefully from Hebrew, with meanings originating in friendship and grace.

Look here and there! 
Raucous laughter
Echoing in hallways, 
Alluding my search.
It might be Janelle Ruth Harris

Not talking to them, not giving them instructions, but sitting down and having a conversation. Many schools don’t have the time to sit down and have a conversation. Statistics show that to raise oral language, we need to have conversations with our students and they need to have conversations with peers. Not about filling their heads with information about oral language, but instead get them speaking. Research 88% of the time teachers have a role-given right to speak to anyone. Students have limited opportunities. 6% is spontaneous non-legitimate speaking 6% is allowed by teacher. High achieving classrooms, teachers talk about 55% of the time...

Staff Meeting: Student conferences July 22 2018

Ways to run your Student Led Conferences Met in Room 11. Charlotte walked us through what she does with her students. It is a very in-depth student reflection and the students lead the conference start to finish. Students know Miss O is there to help if they get stuck on any questions from mum and dad, but otherwise Miss O has a basically silent role. Students flag pages in each book that they are really proud of and have to justify why they are proud of their work; statements like "because it was cool" are not acceptable. Highlight for Charlotte is getting feedback from parents on their children's learning on the last page; this is feedback the students can use to improve their learning, or take pride in their work further based on parent praise. Notes to help students structure what they are going to say, they know what they're going to say, they're not stuck on the spot with mum and dad and teacher all staring at them expectantly. Means they're n...

Staff Meeting - 29.10.18

General admin comments: Reports should already be familiar content to the parents. If you make a statement in the students' report, you need to be able to discuss how/when you have talked to parents about this in the past. Reports may have a way to assess student progress against the curriculum, e.g. english, maths, science? and a general statement regarding key comps, SOLO, etc. and how they relate these things to their individual learning Prize Giving Discussed how we should structure the awards
