NZ Curriculum Achievement Objectives

Order numbers from smallest to biggest 
Place Value of numbers up to 67
Identify and write numbers

Learning Observed:

Our hapu group have been learning a game called "Rocket". Learners have to draw seven squares vertically with a triangle at the top. The bottom square has 10 and in the triangle is 67. After rolling two die, learners had to choose a number from the dice that was rolled to write into each square. For example, if a 2 and 5 was rolled then learners had to decide whether to use 25 or 52 and place it strategically in their rocket. They have to ensure that the numbers they write in are in order from the smallest number 10 to the biggest number 67. The first group that filled all their squares in correctly calls out "Blast Off!" 

Key Competencies/ Vision Principles:

Nimisha has shown curiosity about which numbers to write in the squares and worked collaboratively with a buddy to make decisions. She demonstrates capability to make decisions and write numbers.

Learner: Nimisha
Date: 22.02.17
Learning Area: 1
Learning Coach: Priscilla Lavakula

Learning Observed:
During iDevelop for Literacy, Nimisha was eager to write about 'Tsunami's' in her literacy book. Without any help, she went away and wrote her story. Nimisha showed capability in her spelling and writing simple sentences. She had also made connections with her outside world about natural disasters. Driven by her curiosity and possibly from the emergency practices at school, she wanted to find out more about natural disasters and in particular tsunamis. Nimisha collaborated with her peers and they also were encouraged to write in their books too.

Nimisha wrote:
I get scared when a tsunami comes. even when a tornado comes. I wish tornados and tsunamis do not come to New Zealand.

Next steps:
It would be great for Nimisha to lead an iExplore activity based on researching and finding out more about natural disasters and what people can do incase of emergencies.
Further develop Nimisha's vocabulary and turn simple sentences into complex and use of interesting words. in her writing.
