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.

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.
