2. Written Language
• Our WALT is…
Our children have been revisiting
to ‘elaborate an idea’ and then
‘an event’. Our children have
been ‘flitting’ over ideas/events
by mentioning them but not
explaining them…so our class
focus for one week was to
elaborate a new idea each day.
Our birthday girl for the day chose
the idea for this particular
session.

at our School? Which aspects are evident here?

WALT: elaborate an idea
Our class revisited ‘elaborating an idea
and then an event’.
The idea suggested by our day’s birthday girl…
‘I went to school’.
• Use the Deliberate Acts of Teaching and
Learning to develop student voice in
the classroom
• Integrate the Key Competencies in to
planning
• Provide learning choices within the
classroom programme
• Integrate brain compatible teaching
and learning strategies into the
classroom programme
Evidence to Support this:
• Prior learning is considered in order to
plan and provide authentic learning
experiences
• The key competencies are evident in
unit planning and promoted through
work habits/behaviour/interaction
• I incorporate SMARTs into planning
• I understand and use the EPS school
Inquiry model supported by graphic
organizers and thinking frames
• I use the environment to manage the
learning process, providing
programmes which include a range of
activities looking for new strategies,
being flexible and trying new things
• I facilitate responsibility for learning by
allowing students to use digital tools in
the classroom
