Parent+Teacher+Comment+2010

During terms 1 and 2 the grade 5/6 students completed two formal spelling assessments. These assessments looked at the students ability to spell high frequency words and some unfamiliar words also. At the end of term 1, Chloe showed that she is a confident speller. She was able to spell a number of high frequency words, and displayed an understanding that was above standard level for a grade 6 student.

Students were assessed again at the end of Term 2. Chloe again showed that her spelling ability had improved and she was able to spell a number of unfamiliar words. Great job!

Two Stars and a Wish

Dear Parents, We are inviting you to share with your child their Student Portfolio. Two stars and a wish is your chance to provide comments on your child’s achievements. The two stars are for you to identify two areas, tasks or achievements that your child has made that you are particularly impressed with. The wish is an opportunity for you to note an area or skill that you hope your child will work on throughout the rest of the year.


 * Congratulate your child on aspects of his/her work, such as: **

¶ Their successes ¶ Any improvements in their work ¶ Presentation of their work ¶ Content of their work ¶ Their creativity ¶ Evidence of risk taking and having a go ¶ Reflections and understandings they have demonstrated ¶ And other positive suggestions on how they could improve their work


 * Here are a few examples to get you started: **

¶ I like the way you have settled into school ¶ I like the stories you read to us each night ¶ I like the way you learnt your tables ¶ Your story writing shows that you are ‘having a go’ at spelling new words ¶ I lie the way you spoke clearly to the class ¶ We are proud of the way you have... ¶ We like the way you are doing your ‘Personal Best’!

¶ I hope you continue to work on your tables facts ¶ Your handwriting is really neat. I hope you can use it when you are writing your stories.
 * And offer positive suggestions on an area your child could work on: **
