We Built This City!

Learner:  Marcus       Learning Coach: Luisa Maloni    Date: 7th May , 2015

Learning Area: iExplore: We Built This City

Learning Observed

Due to the high interest in building structures out of the magnetic shapes, we have embarked upon an iExplore learning adventure designing and constructing a city out of cardboard. Marcus has been working in a focussed and independent way throughout this project using his design sheet to inform his next steps. Marcus was able to talk about his structure and say what it was for as well as processes he has used in constructing his building. See video below.

Evidence of learning

Marcus can problem solve to meet the needs of his building as well as refer to his own design to inform his process for building. I wonder if Marcus likes to construct things at home?

Key Competencies/Vision Principles

Marcus shows that he uses his Curiosity, creativity, problem solving and Thinking skills to trial his ideas with the materials he has available and to describe the purpose of his building. Marcus demonstrates his Capabilities in Technology- constructing a building that meets a particular purpose as well as in persevering - working steadily and independently towards his own goals (Managing Self).

Next Learning Steps

Develop his vocabulary to include 3-D shapes he will use e.g. cube, cylinder, cone as well as architectural terms e.g. tower Further develop his construction processes to be able to construct simple 3-D shapes e.g. cube
