Learning Observed

Marcus has been learning to write Diamante Poems themed around his recent visit to Auckland Zoo. Firstly, Marcus had to brainstorm different nouns, adjectives and verbs about giraffes.  Then he had to choose which ones he would use to make his poem make sense. Marcus was given a template structure to follow, which listed the order in which his nouns, adjectives and verbs needed to be.  He was able to follow the structure independently to produce the above poem.

Key Competencies/Vision Principles

During this learning, Marcus demonstrated that he was: Connected - actively taking part in learning conversations and activities. Capable - understanding the different parts of speech have different purposes. Curious - asking questions and seeking new vocabulary. Thinking  - able to brainstorm and find words relevant to the topic.

Next Learning Steps

Teach others how to write a diamante poem. Begin thinking about opposite words for an antonym diamante poem.

Learning Area:   Maths

Learning Observed

Marcus have been working on his number knowledge in Stage 4 which includes counting forwards and backwards to 100 in 2s, 5s and 10.   He has also been learning about place value for ones, tens and hundreds. We start most maths sessions with a number game and I was excited to see that Marcus and his friends were independently playing ‘Guess My Number’, one of the games that I had taught them.

Marcus was keeping his friends guessing his three digit number.   They had to correctly guess the number in the ones, tens and hundreds columns.

Key Competencies/Vision Principles

Marcus was collaborating with others to learn through this maths game.  He was enthusiastic and motivated to be the one that knew the number.   Marcus was able to relate to others by listening and respecting their suggestions, even when they were wrong.  He was managing self  by organising the equipment and space for the game; as well as making sure that all the Learners had a turn at guessing.

Narrative Assessment - Reading - 10 May 2016

Learning Observed

Marcus has been working on reading for meaning and pausing to think about whether the words that he is saying are the same that are on the page.   Today I asked Marcus to read a page of a book from Level Red.   We talked about cats and what they like to do.

Evidence of Learning

Marcus noticed that he mixed up the words and self-corrected himself.

Vision Principles and Key Competencies

Marcus was able to connect the text with his knowledge about cats and how they like to chase birds. He is Using Language, Symbols and Text to help identify errors.

Next Steps

• Reading with greater fluency
• Reading 10-15 minutes each day at home
• Concentrating on what he is reading and self-correcting errors

Narrative Assessment - Maths - 25 February 2016

Learner: Marcus           Learning Coach: Megan Croll            Date: 25 February 2016

Learning Area: Maths

Learning Observed

Today the Learners were learning to add two numbers together by finding the biggest number.  We tried to work out the problem by imaging the number in our head, then used a number line to check how many jumps we did to find the sum.

Evidence of learning

Marcus was able to identify the biggest number.   He then tried to solve the problem by writing the biggest number (15) on a number line, then add on the smaller number (6).  Marcus required support to complete the problem.

Key Competencies/Vision Principles

Marcus is developing his Capabilities in Maths.  With some support, he iss able to work by himself and use equipment correctly when solving a problem (Managing Self and Thinking).  Marcus is able to form her numbers correctly and understands number order up to 20 (Using Language, Symbols and Text).

Next Learning Steps

Draw and use a number line correctly Use this strategy to add numbers greater than 20, e.g. 7+22= Share learning with home.

Learner:  Marcus             Learning Coach: Megan Croll               Date: 23 February 2016

Learning Area:  Developmental

Learning Observed

Today during our ‘Developmental’ session, Marcus and two other learners were working together to construct a building with the Duplo blocks.  As the building took shape, they talked about what they wanted to put where, as well as how the ‘people’ would be using the building.   There was discussion about where to put the door and how high the ‘tower’ should be.

Evidence of learning

Marcus, Keiran and Shokrullah were very pleased with the finished result of their building.

Key Competencies/Vision Principles

Marcus participated and contributed with others to design and create this building (Thinking).  He demonstrated capability when problems arose, e.g. blocks didn’t fit properly, another learner had already finished a part that he was going to do (Managing Self).

Narrative Assessment - iExperience - Term 4, 2015

Learner:  Marcus and Jolin   Learning Coach:  Miriam Kamsteeg            Date: Weeks 7-10, Term 4, 2015

Learning Area: iExperience

Learning Observed

This iExperience involved turning “Trash” into something “Flash”. They started with a piece of cardboard and had to create a photo frame to for their superhero photo. We had lots of scraps of cardboard, cellophane, tissue paper, wool and fabric bits for the Learners to use to create this.

Evidence of learning

They have used “trash” to create this frame. Isn’t it starting to look flash!

Key Competencies/Vision Principles

They are developing their CURIOSITY by thinking about what scraps would be good to cut up to put on their frame (THINKING). They had to work by themselves and ensure that they got everything finished in time (MANAGING SELF).

Next Learning Steps

What else is “trash” that I could create into something “flash”? Ensure I have glued everything down properly and painted all the parts thoroughly. Share learning with home.

Narrative Assessment - iExplore - Term 3, 2015

Learning Area: iExplore - Reflections - Science

Learning Observed

Marcus choose to be a part of the iExplore group looking at reflections. We first brainstormed where we would be able to see our reflections. Then we had walk around the school to see what we could find our reflection in. As a group we decided that we all wanted to explore reflections with mirrors. We spent time using mirrors to create reflections. We discovered that you could get the sun on the mirror and send it around the room, you can look under things like the shelves on wheels, if you hold your mirror up to another mirror you can see lots of mirrors and we explored mirror writing.

Evidence of learning

Marcus is showing how he can use two mirrors to reflect each other and see under a shelf.

Key Competencies/Vision Principles

Marcus showed Collaboration by  working with other Learners to investigate different ways to show/ find reflections (Participating and Contributing). They also showed that they were Capable by sharing their learning back on the video. Marcus explored many different ways to reflect with mirrors (Thinking).
