Get Set Go Narrative Assessment

Learner: Darius               Learning Coach: T Morgan                Date: 27th October 2016

Learning Area: iExperience - Physical Education/Health

Learning Observed

Today we had Get Set Go, a sports programme, come to our school. Coach Cameron taught us a whole lot of new games like walk the plank - where we had to walk along the lines on the court and there were two pirates with noodle swords who would tag us, and red light-green light- where different colours meant we had to do different things to try and make our way to the end of the court. It was so much fun!

Evidence of learning

Get Set Go Movie We are learning to move and balance in all different ways. Watch me play red light-green light!

Key Competencies/Vision Principles

I am developing my Capabilities in Physical Education. I was able remember and tell Coach Cameron what the 3 rules were 1) when Coach Cameron is talking, we are listening, 2) when the whistle blows we freeze, and 3) we must have fun! (Managing Self). I took turns at being the “police officer” that checked for people who were moving when they should be frozen, offering my second turn to someone who hadn’t already had a turn (Relating to Others). I had fun learning all the games Coach Cameron taught us and especially playing them (Participating and Contributing).

Next Learning Steps

Always have my hat at school to wear for iBreaks and Get Set Go. Play the game with your peers Think of one way we could change this game (maybe one colour we could add with an action).

Darius Narrative Assessment 22 Feb

Learner: Darius              Learning Coach: Talia Morgan        Date: 22 Feb 2016

Learning Area: Literacy - Writing

Learning Observed

Today we looked at how our letter of the week; ‘B’/’b’ are formed. We drew a line inside the letters provided to see what direction we take the pen first to form the ‘B’/’b’. Then we used the crayons to draw a B/b letter on our paper, before finally colouring in our letters. Darius completed the three stages for both capital B and lower-case b. Darius was engaged and enthusiastic about this writing activity.

Evidence of learning

Darius was able to form a capital ‘B’ and lower-case ‘b’ in three different ways. I wonder if Darius can use these letters in his writing this week?

Key Competencies/Vision Principles

Darius is developing his Capabilities in Writing. He was able to work by himself to form the letters in three different ways, without the learning coach (Managing Self). Darius is starting to form his letters correctly and use the letter sounds he can hear (Using Language, Symbols and Text). He was able to Think of the three steps and complete them, as well as remind others (Relating to others).

Next Learning Steps

To use either capital ‘B’, lower-case ‘b’, or both in his writing this week. Continue to practice letter formation. Continue to teach using the word card to find words and sounds to record for a story. Share learning with home.
