Narrative Assessment - Writing - 16 March 2016

Learner:  Fernanda            Learning Coach:   Megan Croll             Date:   16 March 2016

Learning Area:  Writing

Learning Observed

Fernanda’s writing group were learning to writing recounts about events that had happened in the past.   They were think about what had happened over the previous weekend, then share their idea with a partner.   Some Learners then had an opportunity to share with the whole group and we quickly brainstormed some ideas that we might be using.   Alphabet cards and essential sight word cards are available for the Learners to use during their writing   Fernanda chose to not draw a picture as part of her brainstorming as she just wanted to write about her idea.

Evidence of learning

Fernanda was able to write in the past tense and think about the initial letter sounds when trying to write unfamiliar words.   She shared an idea and included extra detail.

Key Competencies/Vision Principles

Fernanda collaborated with others during the brainstorm.   She connected with a personal experience and used this to help form her ideas for writing. She was able to work by herself to sound out the main letter sounds she could hear in the  word ‘park’ (Managing Self).  Fernanda is forming most of her letters correctly and listens to the sounds they make when recording them (Using language, symbols and text).  She was able to Think of her own idea and write about it.

Next Learning Steps

Use a capital letter at the beginning of a sentence Use a full stop at the end of a sentence Lowercase ‘p’ when a capital is not needed

Learning Area: Numeracy

Learning Observed

During Math time today I introduced the learners to a new activity on the iPads - Slide Addition. This game required four learners to play together to answer addition problems as they appear on screen. I began with a demonstration of how to play which they quickly picked up. Simar, Zoey, Suri, and Fernanda were working together to solve the questions. I observed Zoey during this time and noticed her ability to recognise numbers to 10 quickly in tens frames, finger and dice patterns. Zoey was able to add two numbers together without the use of physical materials. Simar began by one to one counting to solve the problems but quickly developed her ability to recognise the number pattern as it was displayed. Fernanda and Suri began by using a mixture of one to one counting when the numbers were higher as well as instant recognition of number patterns. Over the development of the activity all four of the learners developed their ability to quickly recognise the number patterns as they appeared and solved the equations at a rapid pace. When I was discussing with the learners at the end I was told that Simar had ‘won’ the most times, great work!

Evidence of learning

Zoey, Simar, Fernanda, and Suri competing to complete the maths addition game.

Key Competencies/Vision Principles

During this activity Simar, Zoey, Fernanda, and Suri were applying the school vision principles of collaboration and capable. They demonstrated these through their ability to work together to complete an activity whilst supporting each others developing math understanding and extending their existing capabilities. While working on this learning task they were utilising the Key Competencies of Managing Self, and Using Language, Symbols and Texts. This was occurring as they were managing their behaviours and viewing themselves.To participate in this learning activity they had  to be able to recognise and understand the mathematical language and symbols.

Next Learning Steps

Assist in developing faster instant recognition of number patterns and basic facts to 10. Introduce the learners to other ‘math slide’ games to assist with numeracy. Encourage the learners to work on Mathletics
