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 and Marcus - Reading Term 2

Learner: Marcus and Ella      Learning Coach: Miss Morgan               Date: 22 April 2015

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.

Key Competencies/Vision Principles

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.
