Narrative Assessment - Maths - 12 September 2016

Learner:  Yuri        Learning Coach:   Megan Croll - LH2         Date:  12 September 2016

Learning Area: Maths

Learning Observed

Yuri has been learning about arrays - how to read them and how to write them.  We are able to use arrays to support skip counting and also to understand that multiplication can be written in two ways, e.g. 2x6 = 6x2.   This understanding of arrays will help Yuri learn her multiplication facts.  She will also be able to use arrays to help solve two digit multiplication problems .

Evidence of learning

Key Competencies/Vision Principles

Yuri is demonstrating that she is: Capable of developing an understanding of how arrays work and how they can encourage skip counting in order to solve multiplication problems. Thinking about what she has been taught and then applying this new learning to complete a practise activity. Using Language, Symbols and Text  to communicate number problems correctly.

Next Learning Steps

Use this strategy to a maths array game Apply this strategy to solve more difficult multiplication problems Support another Learner to understand how arrays work

Narrative Assessment - Reading - 29 August 2016

Learner:  Yuri     Learning Coach:   Megan Croll - LH2          Date:   29 August 2016

Learning Area:  Reading

Learning Observed

Yuri has been learning to recognise more high frequency words from the Blue reading series.  Today she was reading a book titled ‘Birds that Fly’ which used the high frequency words ‘look’, ‘this’ and ‘can’.  Yuri used the pictures in the story to help with decoding unfamiliar words, e.g. bat, bee.   She was able to answer some questions about the story, and why the letters in the word ‘little’ were printed in smaller letters than the rest of the text.

Key Competencies/Vision Principles

Yuri is increasing her capabilities to read more sight words with greater independency.  She is using pictures and initial letters to try and decode unfamiliar words (Using Language, Symbols and Text).

Next Learning Steps

Reread this story to a buddy and parent Learn more high frequency words from the Blue and Green lists, both at school and home Reread to gain meaning after decoding unfamiliar words

Narrative Assessment - 16th June 2016

Learner: Maya, Samara, Taylor, Vanisha, Yuri, Zoey          Learning Coach: T Morgan       Date: 16th June 2016

Learning Area: iExperience - Dance

Learning Observed

Maya, Samara, Taylor, Vanisha, Yuri and Zoey all have one thing in common - they love to move! Today during iExperience, these girls chose to do dancing for the afternoon. Today we wanted to challenge ourselves a little more and these girls chose songs that they liked and started to choreograph their own dances to them, instead of copying from videos.

Evidence of learning

These girls showed their moves on the dance floor! They came up with some pretty good moves!

Key Competencies/Vision Principles

Maya, Samara, Taylor, Vanisha, Yuri and Zoey are developing their Capabilities in dancing. They were working together to combine moves they came up with to make a dance to their favourite songs that they selected (Participating and Contributing). They encouraged the learners who were a bit more shy, to have a turn at suggesting a move (Relating to Others). They decided calmly and fairly what song they would choose next and who’s turn it was to choose the song (Managing Self).

Next Learning Steps

Choreograph a complete dance to one song. Perform for the habitat. Share learning with home.
