And if your name starts with (and students had to identify the phonics sound of their name as the teacher said it). Teacher did a great job memorizing these phonietic sounds. Good facilitation of seat work to help students to scaffold towards the days objectives. Students were generally well scaffolded throughout the classroom using many strategies such as questioning, tracing shapes with your arm etc. towards the days LOs Good plenary in which students had to identify the shapes from a variety of everyday objects chosen from a collection in a basket Differentiation Dojo points A lot of planning Areas for development: Remember that an oval is a circle with pointed ends. Number of faces is a difficult concept for this age and really deals with 3D figures which were not used actively throughout the class.
