<p>These keywords displays are on show throughout the whole year on our numeracy and maths working wall. The children know to use these when they are unsure of the vocabulary used in a problem they are solving and can independently work out which operation they are using, particularly in word problems.</p>
<p>This resources encorporates Scots songs and poems with teaching the children to express their likes and dislikes with others using Voice21 techniques.<br />
In groups or pairs (we used co-operative learning groups), the children listened to each of the poems twice through then discussed using the scaffolds on the board their likes and dislikes with their group. The same process was then repeated with the songs.</p>
<p>A PowerPoint presentation taking the children through the different food groups and helping them to identify foods in the groups.</p>
<p>SUCCESS CRITERIA WAS CO-CREATED</p>
<p>Learning tasks to go along with the presentation included having different simple recipes printed and the children to then place the ingredients in the correct group. Differentiated by having unlabeled food groups for independent workers down to having some children cut and stick pictures of the food in the correct labeled group.</p>
<p>A second follow up lesson from this was to create a day of eating which ticked all the food groups in correct portion. Some children created a week of eating, some a couple of days, and some just one day. Food was highlighted or underlined in the correct colour to match the group.</p>
<p>A presentation taking children through the elements of poetry.</p>
<p>Using ‘A Dug, A Dug’, the children read through the poem with a partner (each taking a part being either the child or the dad, or they can read the full thing each), and begin to highlight/take notes on which elements of poetry they can find.</p>
<p>Children then use this poem as a scaffold to create their own poem asking for something they would like (new football boots/a trip somewhere/a pet for example).</p>
<p>Children can also find Scots words throughout the poem and guess what they think it means then find the correct meaning in the Scots dictionary online.</p>
<p>Writing wall display in shape of a pencil.</p>
<p>Children can use this checklist when completing a piece of writing before handing in a finished piece of work.</p>
<p>This helps children to gain independence in checking and correcting their own work and gives them a consistent criteria to self-assess themselves against.</p>
