Based on classroom writing tasks and last year's e-asttle writing samples, target students are presenting with a need in sentence punctuation.
I created this doc for target students to do online tutorials around sentence punctuation. Here is the template doc for them to record (self monitor) their progress in this area. Sentence Punctuation Tutorials and Quizzes

Writing and Spelling Workshops
I have started running workshops based on student needs in writing and spelling.
For the writing I asked each student to write a recount and based on their writing samples I made a group for the next three weeks. Those not in the group will focus on imaginative recount as well as plugging gaps in their recount writing.
For spelling I used an assessment from the Switch onto Spelling programme which identifies specific gaps e.g. suffixes, plurals etc. So this group changes weekly.
See Week 3 and 4 planning below for evidence of workshop planning and groups.

Blogging Workshop
Lead by Saunil from Cyclone
Today we learnt how to create all of the labels we need for posting about our professional practice. Four of us attended the accelerated workshop at 2:15 and then stayed on for the second workshop to assist Saunil in teaching the process to the staff.
These labels are now all set up and will allow us to easily link our practice to PTCs, goals, areas of responsibility and school targets. Very exciting!
