PORTSWOOD PRIMARY SCHOOL PRIDE PASSION SUCCESS AfL – A pupil perspective Presented by Sean, Lucy, Najeeb and Nayaab
Our School • We would like to talk about AfL from our point of view • Everyday we use AfL and our teachers try to get us to use a different strategies in each lesson. • Using a variety of strategies helps us see our mistakes, and what we do well, in different lessons so we can work on them and get better.
Learning Objectives • We need to know what we are learning • A picture in our minds of what might come up • LOA Learning objective achieved
Success Criteria • Having the SC in front of you helps to focus • Tick it off as you go along • Look at it and see if you have used/done it • Don’t have to go to the teacher all of the time • Teacher gives some SC and we choose the rest
Learning Objective:I am learning to AddContext: partition and recombine numbers. 1. I can say how many tens and units there are in a number. 2. I can partition the tens to make a sum. 3. I can partition the units to make a sum. 4. I can solve the two sums created. Extension: 5. I can recombine the two answers. Challenge: 6. I can partition and recombine using hundreds, tens and units
To understand a historical event (Context: Break from Rome) I can explain reasons for an event I can explain the main characters involved in an event I can empathise with historical characters I can explain the significance of an event (outcome)
SC Example • My Level 4c writing checklist • When I write I need to check the Success Criteria for that day • Then I need to remember my targets I am writing so well these days that most of my targets are at level 4. Here is my little grid to remind me of the main things I need to do. I can use one of these for different pieces of writing if I want to.
Assessing our own learning Use of highlighters • See what you have done well • See the gaps Targets • Write in your book • Can be a question for you to answer • Not annoying because you get the positive
Assessing a friend • You can’t always see your own mistakes – particularly in writing • Get ideas from other people – combine them - leads to a better piece of work • Can link to targets • Read out work and everyone can check if they have met the SC
Freaky Friday • A chance to go over the things we have learned during the week • Fun to choose • Either one in depth or all of them to revise it • Can be done with a partner or in groups • We made board and card games to make learning more fun
Workshop • If you or a group do not understand the teacher will help you (Pupil voice) • When you have understood it you can work independently • Decimals are really hard! More chances to go over things, as we go over them we understand more • We can trust the teacher and they trust us • If you don’t understand you don’t have to hide because you know you will get help • Homework workshops if you don’t understand
TASC Wheel • Thinking actively in a social context • Problem solving together – but we decide what and how • Investigate as a group • For example, one week on number, one week on shape, etc example • Used N-Rich for ideas • Includes the evaluate section • Makes us apply our learning
More Choices • Sometimes we know the best way to show our learning • Make the choice about how to show learning e.g. board games, presentations = pupil choice • Create own questions e.g. for maths revision we had the four operations and we set questions for each other including real life context
Najeeb will assess you now Write a question for a friend that includes: • Addition • Multiplication • The use of brackets, and • Is a real life money problem
Learning logs • School council decided a better way to homework would be to use learning logs • For homework we can show our learning however we want to • One question and you have to present it on one page • Encourages us to think more • Based on how you learn things “They let you use your imagination and express yourself”
Summary • AfL allows us to be involved in our learning • We need to think about what we learn but also how we learn • We have to make decisions about our learning • We are in charge!
