Learner: Fernanda       Learning Coach: Miriam Kamsteeg                 Date: 28 July 2015
Learning Area: Literacy - Writing
Learning Observed
Today Fernanda was working with me during Writing time. She decided that she wanted to write a story “I went to my sister’s house”. Fernanda found “I went to my” on the table tent card. She then sounded out “sister’s” and “house” and recorded down the sounds she heard.

Fernanda was able to hear many sounds in the tricky words. I wonder if she is practising her writing at home?
Key Competencies/Vision Principles
Fernanda is developing her Capabilities in Writing. She is listening for the sounds when she is sounding out the words (Thinking). Fernanda was able to find the basic sight words on the table tent card (Managing herself). She is using letters to represent sounds (Using Language, Symbols and Text).
Next Learning Steps
  • Continue to use the table tent to find words/ sounds

Narrative Assessment T2 Math


Learner: Fernanda                  Learning Coach: Abby Morgan                Date: 30 June 2015
Learning Area: Math
Learning Observed
During Math we have been learning how to solve addition problems to 5. Fernanda began by solving problems that were +1 to 10. This required her to apply her knowledge of numbers after and was an introduction to using materials (fingers) to help her solve the higher numbers. When I asked Fernanda to solve 2+3 she was able to use her fingers to help her work it out. When I enquired as to how she had found the answer she showed me two fingers and then she said she added three and that it makes five.
Evidence of learning
Fernanda is developing her ability to solve addition problems to 5.
Key Competencies/Vision Principles
Fernanda was using the school vision principles of capable during her learning time. She was extending her known and developing math capabilities. As Fernanda learnt she was using the Key Competencies of thinking and using language, symbols, and texts. She used her thinking skills to solve addition problems and use mathematical language to share her learning.
Next Learning Steps
  • Develop instant recognition of numerals to 20

In preparation for our Marae trip- we talked about the wharenui or meeting house that we visited as part of our trip. The learners had to write down the parts of the wharenui which are likened to parts of the body. After the trip I asked Fernanda what she remembered about the wharenui. She said the Marae has a roof and it protects people in the house. I asked her what she remembered about our trip to the Marae and she said we did some lovely singing and had a nice lunch.
