Art: Ella and Self Portrait Drawings

Learner: Jai	Date: 3 May, 2017
Learning Area: iExperience (Visual Arts) Level 2: UC, PK, DI and CI	Learning Coach: P.L
Learning Observed
During iExperience learners had the opportunity to choose what activity they would like to participate in, based around Art. Ella chose to learn more about self portrait drawings. She had to listen carefully to instructions as they were given step by step. Ella showed her capability by following explicit instructions and looking carefully at her drawing and making sure that what she saw in the mirror matched what she had on her paper. Ella was very particular about the detail included in her drawings. Ella was collaborative by working well with others around her and helping others who needed it. She showed connectedness by looking at other examples that were shared on the screen and use it to help further his learning. She also voiced that she had done self portrait drawings last year.

Ella's Writing Narrative Assessment

Narrative Assessment - Mathematics - 7 July 2016

Learner:  Ella         Learning Coach:   Megan Croll - LH2                Date:  7 July  2016

Learning Area:  Mathematics

Learning Observed

Today Ella and her maths group were learning to add three numbers together with Mrs Hooker.  They did this by rolling three dice, then using the best strategy to add the three numbers together - either by first adding two numbers together to make ten, or by using their known basic facts to first add two numbers, then the remaining number. Ella was eager to identify the numbers and use her basic fact knowledge to calculate the answer.

Evidence of learning

Ella joined in with a large group to play a maths addition game She carefully calculated the answer in her head Ella patiently waited her turn to share her answer

Key Competencies/Vision Principles

Ella Connected this game with prior knowledge by Thinking about and recalling the basic facts to solve the problems.  She was Capable of waiting for her turn (Managing Self) to share her answer; allowing others time to think and come up with their own answers. Ella is able to identify numbers and uses a clearer voice to share her ideas (Using Language, Symbols and Text).

Next Learning Steps

Teach this game to another Learner Share the way that he can solve number problems with another Learner Learn more addition strategies to support solving problems with larger numbers

Narrative Assessment - iActive - 'Octopus'

Learner: Ella                  Learning Coach:  Talia Morgan       Date: 12 Feb 2016

Learning Area: iActive

Learning Observed

Today I oversaw the iActive leaders on the “Octopus” game. The students from the school in the purple group were invited to play this game together. Learners were required to run from one end to the other without being caught. The focus for the game was connected playing - helping one another. Ella was a very connected player as she helped many other learners know when it was their turn to run.

Evidence of learning

Ella was a great connected player. I wonder if she can help others learn this game?

Key Competencies/Vision Principles

Ella is developing her Capabilities in iActive (physical education). She was able to help others learn how to play a game (Relating to others). Ella was eager to play herself, and she encouraged other learners to play as well (Participating and Contributing). She was helping others Think about when they should run. Ella was a good example to others of how to do Connected Playing.

Next Learning Steps

Show this enthusiasm in the next iActive game. Continue to encourage other learners to join in. Teach other learners this game in future.

Narrative Assessment - Literacy - 2 Nov 2015

Learner:  Ella                    Learning Coach:  Miriam Kamsteeg            Date: 2 Nov 2015

Learning Area: Literacy - Writing

Learning Observed

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).

Next Learning Steps

Write 2 or more sentences Continue to record all the sounds she hears down Share learning with home.

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.

Key Competencies/Vision Principles

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.

Next Learning Steps

Provide Ella with a range of different types of questions to help her further develop this competency. Assist Ella in moving towards imaging the materials.
