Learning Observed

For iExplore we are learning about Dr Seuss. We have been discussing the different books that he created and all about our favourite books of his. During this session we were exploring different Dr Seuss books and reading parts of them. Since we only had 8 books we had to work collaboratively. I was very impressed with Christian and Datar who were showing their capabilities in collaboration. They were taking turns and discussing what was happening. Once they had changed to different story there was discussion around why this story is better or not as good as the last. Each book they went to they had this discussion. It was great to see Datar asking for help when he got stuck on a word. Christian used the skills that he had been working on to help Datar.

Key Competencies/Vision Principles

Collaboration is being used in this session. “Relating to others” was a Key Competency being used during this session as both learners had to think about the other one a make sure that they were having a turn. “Thinking” was being used as they learners had to think about what they liked about the text and how it compared to the other texts they had read.

Next Learning Steps

Christian and Datar’s next learning steps are: come up with a question about the text that they liked. create a learning adventure based on that question.

Math Narrative Assessment T2

Learner: Datar                        Learning Coach: Abby Morgan                 Date: 26 June 2015

Learning Area: Math

Learning Observed

During Math Datar was collaborating with Shokrullah to create numbers to 20 by using both sets of 10 fingers. He was able to count from one to create 12, 15, 17, and 18. Datar used one to one counting and his knowledge of number finger patterns to work out the answers.

Evidence of learning

Datar can create teen numbers with a partner using their fingers.

Key Competencies/Vision Principles

Datar was using the School Vision Principles of collaborating as he extended his knowledge with another learner. He was also developing his capabilities. Datar was applying the Key Competencies of thinking and using language, symbols and texts. Thinking skills were utilised as Datar made connections between his knowledge of the number and its physical representation.

Next Learning Steps

Assist Datar in learning the numbers that come before for numbers to 20. Help with developing instant recall of basic facts to 5. Count to 20 emphasising correct pronunciation of teen numbers.
