Learning Area: Learning Habitat Two - Mathematics

Learning Observed

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.

Key Competencies/Vision Principles

Ella was developing the vision principles of being capable as well as extending the key competencies of using language, symbols and texts, and thinking skills. She was applying her knowledge of numbers to extend her existing capabilities. Ella was also utilising effective thinking skills to recall and apply new learning.

Next Learning Steps

Ella’s next learning steps are: instantly recall basic facts to 20 skip count forwards and backwards to 100 in 2’s and 5’s

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.

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.

Next Learning Steps

The group’s next learning steps are to: instantly identify before and after to 20. identify before and after to 100.
