Overview of the lesson:
Planning was incredibly clear and organised resulting in the class being given a
clear explanation of tasks.
Clear use of differentiation in both main and extension task to accelerate
children’s progression within the lesson.
Children were frequently asked to give reasoning and ask questions to further
understanding- great use of talk partners.
All pupils were reviewed and give additional support
Great allocation of TA’s time and support to all ability children
Children were provided with support sheets from previous learning to support
them with challenging tasks.
Teacher re-modeled activity in order to clarify the aims and objectives.
Good use of behavior strategies- 321 stop, hands free, clapping a rhythm.
Well done for sharing children’s work, promoting high standards of learning
within the classroom.
Areas for development:

• Continue to focus on challenge through questioning. Questioning needs

to be targeted to the needs of each learner.
• Set groups off at different times and try to explain instructions to each
group in turn. This will avoid children hearing three separate sets of
activities (differentiation).
• Can you use school resources/science resources to develop your lesson
further?
• Be confident to direct support staff to help specific children based on
assessment within the lesson.
• Can children self-assess to give you an idea of their level of
understanding?
• Can children write a written reflection of their learning- relating to the
learner profile (knowledgeable/caring/inquirer/balanced)?

Focus for next lesson:

Continue with your positive energy and exceptional manner with the children-
they love having you as their teacher!

Focus on highlighted points above for next lesson.

Excellent lesson Hend- well done.
