12th May Narrative Assessment - Writing

Learner: Darius               Learning Coach: Talia Morgan                Date: 12th May 2016

Learning Area: iDevelop - Writing

Learning Observed

Today Darius was caught doing some #Oresome learning! Darius was invited to work in a guided writing workshop with me and he thought long and hard about what he wanted to write. He drew his picture first to help him brainstorm what to write and we discussed some ideas, then he decided he wanted to write about Volcanoes. Darius wrote “volcano errupts”.

Evidence of learning

Darius is showing his Capabilities in writing and his interest in Volcanoes. I wonder what else he can tell us about Volcanoes?

Key Competencies/Vision Principles

Darius is developing his Capabilities in writing. He was able to independently think of his own story (Thinking) with support was able to sound out how to spell the words, using the alphabet card (Managing Self). Darius sounded out the main letter sounds he could hear and recorded them with support from Learning Coach, drawing a picture to illustrate his story (Using Language, Symbols and Text).

Next Learning Steps

Continue to sound out and record the main letter sounds in unfamiliar words. Explicit teaching on writing high frequency words with support from alphabet card. Encourage to write independently. Share learning with home.

Narrative Assessment - 11th May 2016

Learners: Elham, Raymond, Kaka, Wilson, Darius, Vicky, Zivashtine, and Angelina     Learning Coach: Stephanie Hooker          Date: 11 May 2016

Learning Area: iDevelop

Learning Observed

Today during iDevelop our reading group worked together to recognise high frequency words in order to play Word Bingo. Learning these words develops reading skills and enables them to read books with confidence.

Evidence of learning

I wonder if they can play this game independently? Do they practice finding high frequency words in their reading books at home?

Key Competencies/Vision Principles

These learners worked together Collaboratively. Each learner showed skills in Participating and Contributing to share their knowledge with each other. They also showed their Capability in using Language, Symbols and Text.

Next Learning Steps

Practice high frequency words at home (Please use the Magenta Word List on our Learning Habitat website) Continue to identify and read many known words, both in isolation and in books and other places Use these skills on a daily basis to increase reading capability
