Mr Herring - Term 2 Feedback

Dear Parent / Caregiver

Riverdale School always strives to enhance our ‘connected community of learners’. This is part of our mission statement and we are very pleased at the potential these digital portfolios have for developing the communication between the students, parents and teachers.

I’m hoping that this will spark some rewarding conversations between you and your child. They would really appreciate hearing some feedback and positive praise from you about their learning and progress. You are, after all, their biggest cheerleader! Your child would also appreciate some written comments under some posts, also. They could show you how to do this.

Please email me at markherring.riverdaleschool@gmail.com if you have any questions. I look forward to your feedback.

Diana,

You have made some pleasing progress in reading this term. You are now reading at a 13-14 yr old level and have shown an excellent understanding of the scientific method this term.

I hope you have a fantastic holiday!

Mr Herring

Reflection

Dear Diana

Term 2 was great! I had tons of fun and learnt lots of things.
My goals were to get better at fitness, improve on the beep test, and learn some more signs. Guess what? I achieved all of them! Now I actually want to do fitness sometimes, unless I'm reading of course! Plus I don't get puffed as easily. I got 3.8 instead of 3.6 on the beep test, and my shoe didn't fall off! (It was a different pair). I learnt tons of more signs from Jackie, and now I'm signing the alphabet without even knowing it!
Because I'm fitter, I now sort of enjoy games, and I take part a bit more. Seeing as I know more signs, I'm talking to Lucy all the time, and teaching Blake to say "I love sausages!"
Next term, I will put more effort into fitness and do it when I don't have to. I will also keep signing and learning more signs. I can't wait 'til next term!
I've done great work, and I'm really impressed. Keep learning and having fun.
Take care, great work, well done and goodbye.
From your good friend,
Diana
