Learning Observed

Today Owen was caught doing some #Oresome learning! Owen chose to write independently about an idea that was was important to him.  He used capital letters for the beginning of his sentence and also correctly spelled some high frequency words, e.g. play, with, go.  Owen used correct letter size and letter formation for most of his letters. Owen often writes about playing ball with his friend and is being encouraged to extend his idea by including who he played with, where he played and also other games that he likes to play.

Evidence of learning

Key Competencies/Vision Principles

Owen is developing his Capabilities in writing.  He was able to independently think of his own story (Thinking) and get the materials that he needs for writing (Managing Self).  Owen sounded out the letter sounds he could hear and recorded them (Using Language, Symbols and Text). He was very excited about his writing and was keen to show it to his peers and Learning Coach (Relating to Others).

Next Learning Steps

Continue to sound out and record the main letter sounds in unfamiliar words. Check with the alphabet card to letters are formed correctly, e.g. ‘d’. Extend his ideas and avoid repeating an idea.

Narrative Assessment - Maths - 25 February 2016

Learner: Owen            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

Owen was able to identify the biggest number and then rewrite the problem by writing the biggest number, then adding on the smaller number.   Owen then drew a number line to help solve the problem.

Key Competencies/Vision Principles

Owen is developing his Capabilities in Maths by learning this addition strategy.  He was able to work by himself and use equipment correctly to solve a problem (Managing Self and Thinking).  Owen is able to form his numbers correctly and understands number ordering up to 20 (Using Language, Symbols and Text).

Next Learning Steps

Teach this strategy to another Learner Use this strategy to add numbers greater than 20, e.g. 7+22= Share learning with home.

At the start of the term we administered our Junior Knowledge Numeracy test to find our gaps in Mathematics. We set our self goals for how much we are wanting to achieve in one term. We have worked really hard with learning activities and in Learning Coach directed groups to achieve this goal. Now at the end of the term we have achieved our goal. We are pleased with the work we have done this term.
