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

Narrative Assessment - Maths - 28 July 2016

Learner:  Nimisha        Learning Coach:   Megan Croll - LH2            Date:   28 July 2016

Learning Area:  Maths

Learning Observed

Today during iDevelop, a group of Learners were using materials to explore place value of hundreds, tens and ones.    I asked the Learners to find out how many ‘ones’ cubes they would need to make a ‘ten’, then how many ‘tens’ to make a ‘hundred’.  This understanding is important as it will support their thinking when they begin to add numbers in which the total is greater than its place value, e.g. 7+6 = one ten and 3 ones. The Learners then were asked to count out the number of ‘ones’ cubes, ‘tens’ sticks and ‘hundreds’ squares to make a given number.

Evidence of learning

Nimisha used the correct amount of ones, tens and hundreds to create the number 135.  She needed some support to place the materials in the correct place value order.

Key Competencies/Vision Principles

During this learning, Nimisha demonstrated that she was: Connected - taking part in the learning conversations and showing that she understood how the shape of each piece represented a number Capable - beginning to understand place value and correcting her original answer by making adjustments to the arrangement of the materials, with support Thinking about the question and task, then proceeding to gather the cubes and sticks that she required Using Language, Symbols and Text  - using three digit numbers Managing Self  - able to use the equipment appropriately and remain on task until she had completed it

Next Learning Steps

Use the equipment independently to make more three digit numbers Teach someone else to use the place value equipment Use the equipment to add two numbers together

Narrative Assessment T2 - Writing

Learner: Namisha                 Learning Coach: Abby Morgan               Date: 25 June 2015

Learning Area: Literacy - Writing

Learning Observed

This week we have been encouraging learners to select learning workshops based on their area of interest and need as identified with their learning coach. Namisha expressed her interest in the story writing workshop at the beginning of our iDevelop Literacy block. We began by discussing the important steps that are needed to assist us with our writing. Namisha shared her ideas and reminded us that we need a plan to start.  After identifying the need for full stops, capital letters, and finger spaces we also talked about the importance of sounding out unknown words. The learners shared their ideas for their story with a buddy and Namisha went away to write her story. When she returned we read her work together. Namisha was able to use a capital letter at the beginning of the sentence and is able to spell a range of high frequency words.

Evidence of learning

Key Competencies/Vision Principles

Namisha has been developing the school vision principle of capable as she was able to identify her area of learning as well as developing both new and existing skills.  She is also displaying the key competencies of managing self, thinking and using language, symbols and texts. Namisha has displayed thinking skills as she recalls and extends her knowledge about writing (using language, symbols and texts) and has demonstrated her ability to manage her learning through choosing an appropriate learning workshop to enhance her capabilities.

Next Learning Steps

Accurately use full-stops Develop new ways to start sentences Write more than 2 sentences
