Ella's Writing Narrative
Learner: Ella Learning Coach: Mr Dyer Date: Week 3 - Term 1
| |||||||||
Learning Area: Writing
| |||||||||
Learning Observed
| |||||||||
We have hit the ground running and are already challenging ourselves to identify what makes writing effective and how we can capture this learning in our own writing. We have identified that our best writing comes from the heart and involves sharing our thoughts, wonderings and feelings about a particular subject. We have also begun exploring ‘Show’ not ‘Tell’ to develop imagery and depth in our writing, along with writing about our sensory responses to daily events. Finally, through selecting elements of Who, What, Why, When, Where and How, we can focus on different elements of our writing in more detail.
Ella has begun to use some of the above writing techniques to make their writing #Oresome! She has the opportunity to write every day, and is involved in our author’s circles where they can seek advice and share their writing with myself and other learners. They are also invited to respond to areas for development at various stages of the writing process. It will be exciting to see how their writing develops over the course of the year starting from the example below which was one of their first pieces of independent writing.
On a Friday, Ella contributes to our group blog. We share our thoughts, wonderings and feelings about the previous week and collaborate with the other writing groups before posting on our habitat blog. Be sure to check out these blogs when you can.

Evidence of learning
| |||||||||
This was Ella’s first effort at writing this year. It will be exciting to see how she progresses as the year goes on.
| |||||||||
Key Competencies/Vision Principles
| |||||||||
Ella has begun to show her capabilities in writing even at this early stage of the year. We are connecting with events from our lives to make writing real to us. We are doing a range of independent writing and more collaborative pieces.
| |||||||||
Next Learning Steps
| |||||||||
Ella should continue to write from the heart and visit the Author’s circle for regular input into her writing. She is encouraged to share their writing with family members and also with other audiences at school and home.This will give her a chance to receive authentic feedback that can be used to make their next piece of writing even better.

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.

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.

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).
