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.
