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.

Today Ella was writing with me. She was able to draw her brainstorm for her story and then begin writing. We had a discussion about the word, “Halloween” and that many Learners wanted to write about it, so I recorded it on the board for them. Ella and I talked about how to spell “Mission Heights”. We sounded it out and she wrote down the sounds she could hear.
|
Evidence of learning
|
Ella is recording down many of the sounds she hears in her words. She heard the “sh” sound in Mission! I wonder if she is practising writing at home?
|
Key Competencies/Vision Principles
|
Ella is continuing to improve her Capabilities in Writing. She was able to create a story in her head and then record it (Thinking). Ella was able to settle quickly to write a story by herself (Managing Self). She was able to use many different letters to record sounds (Using Language, Symbols and Texts).

Mathematic's Narrative Assessment
Learner: Jenny, Tammy, Suri, Ameerah and Ella Learning Coach: Mr Hattie Date: 28 July 2015

Learning Area: Learning Habitat 2 - Numeracy

Learning Observed

Our aim in Mathematics for this lesson was to say the number that either come before or after the number on the dice. The trick was before the group could tell me the answer they had to check their learning with a buddy. This was getting the learners into the habitat of peer checking and checking their own work. This will allow them to ensure that they are not making careless mistakes in the working. Also it give them a chance to help each other out when they are struggling. When we were doing this activity Tammy was making sure that he always explained her reason why she gave that answer. Suri started off by calling out the answer but she quickly got the habit of discussing with her partner. Ameerah didn’t want to discuss, but when Jenny asked her what she thought Ameerah explained her answer. Jenny was great at encouraging others to contribute. Ella was very good at explaining the answer to those who struggled getting the answer this help those people to improve.

Key Competencies/Vision Principles

The Key Competencies that were being used in this lesson was “relating to other” as they had to be respectful of others opinion and take turns to explain their reason. Also if someone got the wrong answer they had to explain to them why the answer was wrong and not just tell them that they are wrong. Collaboration was being used in this task as they had to work together to answer the question. It was a competition and to get the points they all had to agree.

Narrative Assessment - Math
Learner: Ella Learning Coach: Abby Morgan Date: 3 June 2015

Learning Area: Math
|
Learning Observed
|
Our current math focus has been on developing learners ability to quickly solve addition problems using materials (counters) and imaging (solving it in their head). We began our math workshop by playing a new game. Each learner took a turn to roll the dice and we put the numbers into the first two hearts to create an equation. As I worked alongside Ella I noticed she was able to solve the equations with ease. I asked her to explain to me how she had solved the equation.Ella told me that she used the counters and when she had put the two groups together had counted on from the biggest number. After completing 6 questions as a group the learners went away and continued to solve the questions themselves.

During our math workshop Ella was demonstrating her ability to apply the Key Competencies of thinking and using language symbols and texts. She displayed thinking skills as she used materials to solve the math equations and used the correct math language and symbols to record her thinking. She was also showing the vision principle of capable.

Ella and Marcus - Reading Term 2

Learning Area: Literacy - Reading

Learning Observed

During reading today Ella and Marcus were introduced to the reading concept Elbow to Elbow, Knee to Knee (EEKK). EEKK involves learners sitting together and taking turns to read to each other. Their reading focus had been on identifying the bold text and emphasising these words. I observed Marcus and Ella reading and applying the new skills they were learning. Together they were able to assist each other when stuck on words or understanding. While reading, Ella made a connection within the text as she recognised that the word ‘she’ in the text informed the reader that the puppy is a girl. Together Marcus and Ella were able to use the pictures in the story to help identify words. Marcus noticed that the picture was of a dog but the word started with P and made the connection between the two.

Together Ella and Marcus were applying the key competencies of Thinking, and Using Language Symbols and Text. In order to understand and apply existing and new knowledge Ella and Marcus recalled and made connections with the text to show their use of Thinking Skills. Using Language, Symbols and Texts was developed as they used decoding and knowledge of language to read their text and apply new reading skills to this. The Vision Principle of Collaborating was applied as they worked together to assist in developing their understandings.

Today during Math Ella and Suri were provided with the choice of 3 activities. At the end of Math time they both bought their work to show me what they had been doing. Ella told me they had used two dice to create math problems and Suri told me how they had worked the answers out together. This was great use of time and excellent team work!

Great to see both Ella and Suri using the school vision principles of collaboration and capability during their learning time. They assisted each other in working out the equations and developed their known and unknown math capabilities. During this time Suri and Ella were using the Key Competencies of thinking and using language, symbols, and texts. They used their thinking skills to solve the problems and used correct math symbols and texts to record their learning.

Ella scored 4 years 3 months in the Oral Language assessment and 51/54 for the Letter ID assessment. She was able to decide that she wanted to write by herself and completed this task (Managing Self). Ella showed she is developing her Capabilities by using her table tent to find the letters for the sounds she could hear. She was able to make Connections between a previously taught sentence starter and how to use it for her story. Ella was able to form her letters correctly and made attempts to use full stops (Using Language, Symbols and Texts).
