throughout the year about your childs achievement, effort and behaviour.

Achievement Codes
Reception students overall achievement in each learning
area studied is recorded by indicating whether he or she is
able to perform tasks in one of three ways. To further
understand what your childs achievement level means
please view the table below
This means that your child is able to complete tasks
independently (without teacher or SSO assistance)
Independent consistently (on more than a few isolated occasions)
(I)

With Help
(W)

This means that your child is able to perform tasks

successfully with the help of a teacher or SSO support
personnel.
They are still either unable to perform tasks
independently, or their performance is inconsistent (i.e.
Sometimes they can achieve success independently, other
times not).

Not Yet
(N)

This means that your child is not yet able to perform tasks
successfully, either independently or with the assistance
of a teacher or SSO support personnel.
It may also mean that they do yet demonstrate success in
completing tasks, focusing on learning, or asking for
assistance.

English

Tae is on track to meet FVPS literacy standards for Reception students. She
can recall several events from texts and is learning about different text
types and the features that these texts share. She can read short,
predictable texts with familiar vocabulary and imagery by drawing on her
concepts of print knowledge and sounds knowledge. She knows all the
sounds we have covered and can use her skills to write simple sentences
with assistance. She is experimenting with capital letters, consistently sized
letters and full stops. She is also working her directionality and spacing.

Mathematics

Tae can make connections between number names, numerals and

quantities up to 10 and beyond this. She can count forward or backwards
from any starting point and is working on ordering collections up to 20. She
is beginning to recognise numbers beyond 20. She can subitise small
collections of numbers up to 7. She can use appropriate language to
describe location. She can also recognise and sort common 2D shapes
based on their characteristics and is able to answer simple questions to
collect information. She can also pose questions to collect information.

Tae has had opportunities to present drama in a variety of different ways

including role play, the use of small toy figures and movement. She has
listened to different types of music including cultural music and has
responded to these in a non-verbal way.
Tae is beginning to describe the purpose of some familiar products and
how they meet the needs of users, for example, people wear fibres. She is
beginning to learn about how fibres are produced. She is developing her
ability to follow sequenced steps and evaluate the design process.
Tae, with prompts, can describe the properties of familiar objects. She is
able to share and record observations of events and objects with limited
assistance. She can suggest the needs of plants and common animals. She
is beginning to learn about the features of habitats and the weather.
Tae has developed some areas of her fundamental movement skills
through minor games and cricket. Her confidence during gameplay is
beginning to improve which will continue to see greater skill development.
Tae can identify and explain different human emotions and feelings.

Teacher Comments
Tae has made a great start to the year, which is evident in her receipt of our classs Focus on Learning award in Term one. She is
also on track to reach the Reception standards at FVPS. She knows over 30 of the 44 sounds, recognises more than 50 of the
expected 100 sight words, has almost completed the 24 concept of print skills and knows 7 of the 9 phonological awareness skills
which includes recognising syllables, rhyming words, producing rhyming words, hearing initial and final sounds, blending sounds
and segmenting words. Mastering these skills has allowed Tae to develop her reading and writing skills which she is beginning to
use more regularly. Her handwriting is improving although she is still having some trouble forming some letters correctly and
therefore resorts to using capital letters in their place.
Tae is eager to learn and starts tasks quickly. She uses her time efficiently however would benefit from slowing down and taking
more care to present her work neatly. This includes thinking about her directionality and use of the space on the page. She follows
classroom and school routines well and regularly contributes to classroom discussions. Her good focus and willingness to learn is
evident as she often recalls previous learning or makes connections across lessons.
Having said this, Taes focus has decreased somewhat recently as a result of new friendships formed. Although developing strong
friendships is important in social skills and character development, it has meant she has struggled to focus as well as she has
previously shown she can. In order to increase her focus Tae would benefit from thinking carefully about who she sits with.
Taes good progress can be credited to her commitment to completing her nightly homework and to the support from her family in
completing this. She can only continue to improve if she maintains this habit as the year progresses.
Over the coming terms, I would like to see Tae take more pride in her work and slow down so she is able to present neater work. I
would also like Tae to focus on waiting for each step rather than guessing what is expected next. This will allow her to better grasp
the intended learning outcomes. Well done Tae on your great start to the year. Keep it up!

Leadership Comments
Tae has clearly made progress in her learning and has shown us that if she continues to stay focussed, learn to make decisions to
benefit her learning and complete her homework regularly further gains will be made and she will reach the expected targets by
the end of the year. You have had a great start to your schooling Tae, lets see you continue to work hard!
