This week I was looking at the reading tumble and how the teacher transitions from one activity to the next.
In between each activity the teacher pulled the children to the mat, did a plenary and then set them up for the next activity before sending them away.
When setting up the following activity there were a set of rules that each child followed during that activity. They were asked which rule they were going to work on and keep it in their mind. This is what they assessed when they did the plenary.
When carrying out the plenary the teacher asked a few students why they had a thumbs up, side or down. This made the plenary more meaningful than just putting a thumb in the air.
In my own class I would like to try having the rules for the activities I run. Then the children can assess themselves against the rules we set.
