Home Group Teacher Comment

XXXXX is a thoughtful and caring student with a big heart. He is well Optional
respected by his peers and has a calm and kind presence in our classroom. XXXXXX generally gets organised for
learning quickly, although he sometimes becomes distracted during learning activities and doesn’t achieve as much
as he is capable of. On occasion, he can also lack confidence, both socially and academically. We encourage
XXXXX to develop some strategies for when this happens so he can use his abundant natural talent. Date:

Mid-Year 2021

Australian Curriculum English - XXXXXX, Sian Wailes

XXXX has made good progress with reading and is working on decoding skills, fluency and expression when
reading aloud. She has been working hard in Word Study and has made some progress with spelling, although she
does not always transfer this knowledge into her writing. XXXX has been learning how to use simple, compound
and complex sentences to make her writing more engaging. She has put in a lot of effort to improve her handwriting
and now has a pen license.
Future Focus
XXXX needs to focus on adding more detail to her writing by using a range of sentences. She also needs to
proofread her writing to make sure known words are spelt correctly and that she has used the correct punctuation.
We encourage XXXX to read aloud whenever she can, to improve her fluency and expression.

multiples of those numbers. She enjoyed our unit on measurement and can use different devices to measure length

Home Group Teacher Comment

XXXX friendly and polite manner make her a valued member of our class. She gets organised for learning activities
and is starting to attempt tasks independently. At times XXXX gets a bit overwhelmed, engages in negative self-talk
and feels like everything is too hard. However, with some prompting she is usually able to persevere with the
activity, performing it to the best of her ability. XXXX is developing confidence, leadership and communication skills
through her role as Daily Physical Education Leader. We are really impressed with the effort XXXX has put in this
year and the progress she is making. Maintaining this will help in her transition to high school next year.
