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.

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

iExplore- Cubism


Learner:   Fernanda      Learning Coach:   Luisa Maloni        Date: 4th September, 2015
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.
