This means that the children in the four home rooms move to different groups within the pod for spelling, reading, writing, numeracy/mathematics and inquiry/connected l</span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">earning.</span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Personalised
learning is </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">all about </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> tailoring teaching and learning to individual needs and is essential in
helping children to achieve the best possible progress and outcomes. It is
critical in raising standards and narrowing gaps that exist
between different groups of pupils. The pedagogy of personalisation
is distinguished by the way it expects all children to reach
or exceed national expectations, to fulfil their early promise and develop
latent potential. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Planning for progression and differentiation are fundamental.
High expectations of progress apply equally to children and young people
working above, at, or below age-related expectations, including those who have
been identified as having special educational needs. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">There is an expectation of
participation, fulfilment and success; and teaching and learning is
characterised by tailored objectives, challenging personal goals, rapid
intervention to keep pupils on trajectory and rigorous assessment to check and
maintain pupil progress.</span><br />

I looked to my right and saw a two-storied house, with a lighthouse as still as a statue. I walked forward and saw freezing cold ice, like a wall of rock. The trees felt like sticks of rough sandpaper and looked like water pipes. The waves were as small as ten ants stacked on top of each other. The ground was cold, like in a deep down cave. Icicles hung to the shore like vines on a tree.

The house was behind a black wooden gate, that was guarding the house. There were tall rustling trees, as tall as giants. The sea was cold, with icicles hanging on the side, dangling down like silver vines. The sky was as dark as a wardrobe with no lights. The house was white and it was connected to an old deserted lighthouse. When I was staring at the sea, the waves crashed right into me. The raging sea was roaring like lions.

I saw the clouds eating the sun. It was like a nightmare in real life. It was frightening and it felt like my heart had exploded. The house reminded me of Dracula's house. I stood on the ground and felt my feet sinking into the icy, cold ground. On my way to the house, lots of trees shot up in front of me.
"Is this a trap?" I said to myself.
"It must be!" said an evil voice coming from the sea. I walked over, as quiet as I could. I dipped my hand into the sea. Suddenly, something pulled me in. It kept me under the water for ages! I couldn't hold my breath for any longer. I got out at last and the evil voice came back again, but this time it wasn't really a sentence.
"Oh Oh!"
"What was that?" I said to myself.
"Oh Oh!"
There it was again. SCARY!Room16http://www.blogger.com/profile/00130493405874483422noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7985561235507876484.post-42305579612068409442012-08-27T18:42:00.001+12:002012-08-29T12:08:32.302+12:00The Old LighthouseAbove me, I saw the sky. It was patchy, with dark grey clouds bowling in, to ruin the bright blue sky. Below the sky, I saw the trees, towering over the house like soldiers. The bare naked trees swayed from the wind, coming in from all different directions, like fairies arriving for a secret meeting with the Queen. Left of the trees, I saw the frozen lake, the ice four times thicker than a seal's blubber. The waves lapped like dominoes collapsing. Beyond the waves there was an old deserted lighthouse, as white as a page from a book. The house was standing as still as a statue. It was old, hagged and dull.Room16http://www.blogger.com/profile/00130493405874483422noreply@blogger.com0
