Students’ Prior Knowledge and Experience:

Students do literacy rotations every Thursday including a brainstorm, the jolly grammar pages and a

work.

word is. finishes their work. I will be giving students immediate

Catering for diversity

There will be a teacher/EA at both Jolly grammar and the craft stations to help students that need it. L
will need assistance at all stations (except play) and I will need to remind N to wear his glasses. I will
need to sit next to/near L, D, I and K when they are at my station to keep them on task and assist them
when they need it. Also ask the EAs to sit with these students.
