12th May Narrative Assessment - Writing

Learner: Wilson               Learning Coach: Talia Morgan                Date: 12th May 2016

Learning Area: iDevelop - Writing

Learning Observed

Today Wilson was caught doing some #Oresome learning! Wilson was invited to work in a guided writing workshop with me and he quickly thought of what he wanted to write about. He decided to write “I want to go to jarscwrD” - “I want to go to Jurassic World.” Wilson was quick to start writing and promptly finished what he wanted to write, as well as drawing his picture. Wilson also helped his peer who wanted to write the same thing.

Evidence of learning

Wilson is showing his Capabilities in his own writing and supporting others in their writing. Way to work toward the 4 C’s!

Key Competencies/Vision Principles

Wilson is developing his Capabilities in writing. He was able to independently think of his own story (Thinking) and write the high frequency words by himself, using the alphabet card (Managing Self). Wilson sounded out the main letter sounds he could hear in the unfamiliar words and recorded them with support from Learning Coach (Using Language, Symbols and Text). He also supported another learner to write his story as he wanted to write something similar (Relating to Others).

Next Learning Steps

Continue to sound out and record the main letter sounds in unfamiliar words. Continue to write high frequency words with support. Encourage to write about anything and whenever. Share learning with home.

Narrative Assessment - 11th May 2016

Learners: Elham, Raymond, Kaka, Wilson, Darius, Vicky, Zivashtine, and Angelina     Learning Coach: Stephanie Hooker          Date: 11 May 2016

Learning Area: iDevelop

Learning Observed

Today during iDevelop our reading group worked together to recognise high frequency words in order to play Word Bingo. Learning these words develops reading skills and enables them to read books with confidence.

Evidence of learning

I wonder if they can play this game independently? Do they practice finding high frequency words in their reading books at home?

Key Competencies/Vision Principles

These learners worked together Collaboratively. Each learner showed skills in Participating and Contributing to share their knowledge with each other. They also showed their Capability in using Language, Symbols and Text.

Next Learning Steps

Practice high frequency words at home (Please use the Magenta Word List on our Learning Habitat website) Continue to identify and read many known words, both in isolation and in books and other places Use these skills on a daily basis to increase reading capability

Learning Area: Literacy - Writing

Learning Observed

Today I invited the learners to write a story about where they had been in the past. We modelled writing: “I went to the ...” and we found these words on the alphabet card, and said which colour box the words were in. We then talked about finding the initial letter of the place we had been by writing down the letter sounds we could hear; using the alphabet cards to help us. Wilson was able to find the sight words on the alphabet card and then came up with his own idea which he re-wrote above the learning coaches direction.  Wilson wrote “I went to the mountain.”

Evidence of learning

Wilson was able to find the sight words on the alphabet card and re-write the learning coaches writing of his idea. Great idea Wilson!

Key Competencies/Vision Principles

Wilson is developing his Capabilities in his writing. He was able to work by himself to think of an idea to write about and was able to re-write it above the learning coaches direction (Managing Self). Wilson is forming most of his letters correctly and is able to listen to the sounds they make when recording them (Using language, symbols and text). He was able to Think of his own idea to write about.

Next Learning Steps

Explicit teaching on listening for the common letter sounds. Continue to teach finding the basic words on the word card and writing them correctly. Continue to teach finding the sounds of initial letters on the word card to record for a story. Share learning with home.

Narrative Assessment - Maths - 19 Feb 2016

Learner: Wilson                    Learning Coach: Talia Morgan        Date: 19 Feb 2016

Learning Area: Maths

Learning Observed

Today we played a new game to help us learn to count backwards from ten. First we rolled the dice to see what number we got, then Wilson counted backwards from ten to that number, moving his dinosaur. Wilson counted backwards from ten to eight and from then to four, and bounced his dinosaur on the numbers as he counted. Then he created these number his dinosaur landed on, on the tens frame.

Evidence of learning

Wilson counted backwards from ten and then created that number on the tens frame.

Key Competencies/Vision Principles

Wilson is developing his Capabilities in maths. He was able to identify the number on the mat that he had counted backwards to and then created that number on the tens frame (Using Language, Symbols and Text). Wilson was able to create the number on the mat, on the tens frame without any help from the learning coach (Managing Self). Wilson was able to Think about how many counters he needed to make the number he landed on.

Next Learning Steps

Continue counting backwards from ten. Continue counting to twenty. Continue learning to fill the tens frame down, rather than across. Share learning with home.
