ELL Support Programme

ELL Support Programme by Karyn

Where and what  the learners are doing?

It takes about 20-25 minutes duration for each lesson

It is the time to build the learners language. They learn to make simple sentence in their foundation programme. They learn the structure, concept and track to check whether the language is building up in them.

Quick 60 is based on a cyclic process the new word and skill that is developed today is repeated in the book today, tomorrow, and the next day,  it is also repeated in the Quick write. The new skill and word are repeated for the next few days but not covered in detail by the presenter of the programme.

What Next?

I have gained knowledge about patch play, foundation course and quick 60 programme. I can understand the benefit of putting the learners in this course to develop their language skills. I will assess the learners and giving them extra support at the early stage.

Working collaboratively within our team

iExplore set up
21/2/2018

We started thinking about how to improve our habitat iExplore time as a team. We came up with different ideas and finally  we decided to choose one area based on our strength and improve it. I have chosen the construction  and science area.
We discussed in our end of the day informal meeting, what are the things could be added in our area. We decided to add lots of books around our habitat, so that the learners could access the books related to that topic and extend their learning what they are interested in. For example if we are going to set up the construction area, we decided to display some posters, signs, words related to that area and books. We thought it will help the learners to develop their literacy, numeracy, social, motor and cognitive skills.
We decided, each LC will add their planning in the iExplore doc and write our observation at the end of the day.

What next?
We have noticed the books are finally end up going into the library area. We should talk to the learners to keep the books or resources in the same area. We need to interact with the learners and ask lots of open ended questions to extend their learning. We need to role model the learners how to take care of the books and how to use it to gather information.
