Learning Observed
In Maths, we have been learning to skip count to help us solve multiplication problems. We are beginning to realise that repeated addition will help us too. Fernanda shows curiosity by listening carefully to questions asked and to feedback given to improve her understanding. She is being collaborative by working with other learners around her and sharing her ideas. Fernanda is beginning to show capability by writing down her skip counting and drawing what it looks like.

Learning Area: iExplore: Visual Art: Cubism

Learning Observed

We have been learning about the art movement Cubism. We have looked at many examples of cubism and have created our own studies using the cubist style. Fernanda used the elements of shape and fracture to create a study of a tree and a painting. Fernanda used colour and shape to define the different areas of her tree study i.e. the trunk, the leaves and the background. In her painting she experimented with different shades of one colour to define these areas. She then looked at images on the internet to choose an artistic exemplar she was interested in trying. Fernanda chose to use a heart as the subject for her final work based on her artistic exemplar.

Evidence of learning

Fernanda uses an artistic exemplar to explore ideas about Cubism. I can’t wait to see her final work!

Key Competencies/Vision Principles

Fernanda demonstrates the Vision principles of Curiosity in continually experimenting with and searching for new ideas in cubism, Capability in executing beautiful, bold and expressive artworks and Connected in connecting with what other artists are doing within the art style of Cubism. She uses the Key Competencies of Thinking as she develops her own creativity as well as follow an inquiry process.

Next Learning Steps

Use new language to describe her artworks e.g. shape, fracture, hues, shades Describe what she has learned and say what her next steps are

Learning Area: Literacy - Writing

Learning Observed

Fernanda did not know what to write about today. I said that she could write about the tadpoles if she liked. She went away and drew her picture and wrote her name. She came and told me that she wanted to write “Everyone is watching the tadpoles”. I said “Everyone, e, e, e. Can you find the picture on the table tent that starts with the sound “e”?” She could not so we started naming all the pictures. When we came to “egg”. I stopped her and said “e, e, egg. Is that the same as everyone?” She said it was and wrote down “e”. We repeated the same process for “is”. With “watching” I said that there was a clue in the word “watching, watch”. She pointed to the “watch” picture. I then showed her the word “the” on the table tent card which she copied down, but copied a backwards “h”. Then the last word “tadpoles”. She said, “t! But what does it look like?” I said “T.V” and she pointed to the “T.V” picture and wrote down “t”. I then asked her what did she need to put at the end of her story and she put down a full stop.

Evidence of learning

I noticed she recorded her n, a, d and h backwards. I wonder if she has noticed that they are only written one way?

Key Competencies/Vision Principles

Fernanda scored 8/54 on the Letter Identification Assessment and 3 years 6 months on the Oral Language Assessment. She was able, once given an idea, to start her picture and record her name by herself (Managing Self). Fernanda is developing her Capabilities in learning what letter can be used to record different sounds (Using Language, Symbols and Text). She showed she was Curious about her learning and what sounds she needed to use.

Next Learning Steps

Specific teaching regarding the way the letters go. Specific teaching regarding which letters can be used for which sounds. Complete a Sound to Letter Assessment - Does Fernanda know more sounds than letters?
