Can you…? spinners

I love using spinners because of the benefits of using then as a learning resource.

  • Spinners provide a fun and exciting way of helpling kids practice vocabulary or structures as they see it more as a game.
  • Word recognition helps develop reading ability faster.
  • They can be used anywhere at home, at school or even in the car.

If you are teaching how to ask about abilities, you can use this Can you…? spinner. It focuses on the vocabulary worked in our unit 2:sing, ride a bike, make models, juggle, play the guitar, do karate, dance and paint, but one blank spinner template is avaliable if you want your kids desing their own wheel.

Encántame usar as ruletas polos beneficios que teñen como recurso educativo.

  • As ruletas proporcionan unha forma divertida e emocionante de axudar aos nenos para practicar o vocabulario e as estruturas xa que o ven máis como un xogo.
  • O recoñecemento das palabras axuda a desenvolver a habilidade lectora máis rápido.
  • Podémolas usar onde queiramos; no cole, na casa, no coche,..

Se queres traballar na aula como preguntar polas habilidades , podes empregar este recursos. O vocabulario empregado é o que estamos a traballar na aula pero tes unha versión en blanco se queres que os alumnos deseñen eles mesmos a súa ruleta.

2 versions are included.

Version 1: This is probably the most basic way to make a spinner! Simply poke a pencil through your card game disc and spin it like a top. The good thing about this method is that every child in your class can have their own spinner. However, I have found that the hole in the middle of the card quickly starts to widen and the disc falls down.

Versión 1: Esta é probablemente a forma máis básica de facer unha ruleta! Simplemente insira un lapis a través do seu disco de xogo de cartas e víreo como unha buxaina. O bo deste método é que cada neno da túa clase pode ter a súa propia ruleta. Con todo, descubrín que o orificio no medio da tarxeta comeza a alargarse rapidamente e o disco cae.

Version 2:This is one of the easiest and most effective ways to make a home-made spinner, and my personal favourite! Cut out the top and bottom part of the spinner.Punch a hole through the middle (top and bottom part) and insert a brass paper fastener through the holes on both top and bottom part and children can play with their classmates.

Versión 2: Esta é unha das formas máis fáciles e efectivas de facer unha ruleta caseira, e a miña favorita! Recorta a parte superior e inferior da roda xiratoria. Faga un burato no medio (parte superior e inferior). Insira o cravo a través dos buracos na parte superior e inferior e os rapaces xa poderán xogar cos seus compañeiros.

A great snowflake crafts for kids are simply by buttons, take a sheet of cardboard, carve it out in the shape of a snowflake, stick a white sheet to it, then just stick some beautiful button to it or the glittered buttons

WINTER SONGS

Little Snowflake brings together the same team that created the Twinkle Twinkle Little Star video to tell a short story of a snowman brought to life by the magic and beauty of snowfall. As he tries to ice skate, he learns the value of perseverance and teamwork. Along the way, we get to learn and review parts of the body (head, nose, hand). I hope you love it!

2º ciclo, level 4, WORLD MISSION

World Mission 1 in Grade 4

World Mission 1 in Grade 4 is over.

The last part of World Mission 1 involves presenting students’ works and analizing them. It “allows students to develop a deeper insight into the quality of their own work through the assessment of peers’ work. Students take responsibility for assessing the work of their peers using the assessment criteria.”

What are the pros?

  • students take responsibility for making assessment judgments and learn how to evaluate work by their peers
  • students develop the skills to reflect on and evaluate their own work
  • students learn from formulating feedback to their peers
  • students receive a broader range of feedback from multiple peer assessors, who are working on a similar task, and are at a similar stage in learning
  • students are motivated to engage with the assessment task, and to engage in dialogue about feedback

    Excerpt from the article “Peer assessment” published by Learning and Teaching Hub @Bath


    A derradeira parte da misión consiste en presentar os traballos e analizalos. Isto permite ao alumnado desenvolver unha visión máis profunda da calidade do seu propio traballo a través da avaliación do traballo dos seus compañeiros. Os estudantes asumen a responsabilidade de avaliar o traballo dos seus compañeiros utilizando os criterios de avaliación.

    Cales son as vantaxes?

    • Os estudantes asumen a responsabilidade de emitir xuízos de avaliación e aprenden a avaliar o traballo dos seus compañeiros.
    • Os estudantes asumen a responsabilidade de emitir xuízos de avaliación e aprenden a avaliar o traballo dos seus compañeiros.
    • Os estudantes aprenden formulando retroalimentación aos seus compañeiros.
    • Os estudantes reciben unha gama máis ampla de comentarios de múltiples pares avaliadores, que están a traballar nunha tarefa similar e atópanse nunha etapa similar de aprendizaxe.
    • Os estudantes están motivados para participar na tarefa de avaliación e establecer un diálogo sobre a retroalimentación.

    3º ciclo, Level 6, WORLD MISSION

    World Mission 1 in Grade 6

    World Mission 1 in Grade 6 is over. Although it was a long hard task, the final leaflets were awesome.

    This time our work plan promoted single and group working. The goal of this mission was not just carrying out the task, but they had to learn how to work in small groups giving their best.

    Working in a collaborative way has a variety of benefits, including increasing students’ self-esteem and responsability. And I must say that it got to know each other a little bit better and we could learn more about our skills and strengths.

    A nosa primeira misión en 6° está rematada. A pesares de que nos levou o seu, os folletos finais quedaron xenial.

    Desta volta o noso plan de traballo incluía tanto o traballo individual como en pequeño grupo. O obxectivo da misión non era soamente realizala, senón que os rapaces foran quen de traballar xuntos dando o mellor de si.

    O traballo colaborativo ten moitos beneficios no alumnado, incluindo o aumento da súa autoestima e da responsabilidade. Teño que recoñecer que nos permitíu coñecernos un pouco millor e aprender sobre as nosas habilidades e fortalezas.
