Narrative Assessment - 16 November 2016 - iExplore

iExplore with Mrs Croll - LH2

Today in iExplore, Nimisha and her friends decided to make a card for a special person.  Nimisha wanted to make a card for her Nani who is returning to New Zealand very soon.   She thought carefully about what she wanted to say and together we looked up how to spell 'grandma' in hindi.  Nimisha designed the front of the card and spent the whole of our iExplore block to colour in her drawings, then glue items to the card.

Values and Key Competencies

Nimisha was curious to find out how to spell 'nani' correctly and searched for things to glue onto her card.  She showed that she is capable of using a hot glue carefully so that she did not burn herself. Nimisha used language, symbols and text when writing and decorating her card.

Next Steps

• Support other learners with making their card - both with writing and ideas for decorating
• Think about other ways that she could use a card to thank or support someone
• Share her card at home

Narrative Assessment - iExperience - 9 November 2016

iExperience with Mrs Croll

LH2

The learners in LH2 have been learning about safety and how helps us at school, home and the community.   During this week, Nimisha and Tavleen have had two sessions to experience using Scratch Jnr on our iPads. They have learned how to add characters, change the background and add speech bubbles to their characters (managing self).  

Both Nimisha and Tavleen were curious to try out different features on Scratch Jnr.  They worked collaboratively together and also with some other learners to help, or to find out how to do something different. The girls were connecting with their prior knowledge to develop a safety message.

Next Steps:

• Share her learning and talk about how you can be safe around the home and community
• Help another learner to use Scratch Jnr
• Think about how she could use Scratch Jnr in other areas of her learning
