Patterns to 5 with Friends - Narrative Assessment

Narrative Assessment - 11th May 2016

Learners: Elham, Raymond, Kaka, Wilson, Darius, Vicky, Zivashtine, and Angelina     Learning Coach: Stephanie Hooker          Date: 11 May 2016

Learning Area: iDevelop

Learning Observed

Today during iDevelop our reading group worked together to recognise high frequency words in order to play Word Bingo. Learning these words develops reading skills and enables them to read books with confidence.

Evidence of learning

I wonder if they can play this game independently? Do they practice finding high frequency words in their reading books at home?

Key Competencies/Vision Principles

These learners worked together Collaboratively. Each learner showed skills in Participating and Contributing to share their knowledge with each other. They also showed their Capability in using Language, Symbols and Text.

Next Learning Steps

Practice high frequency words at home (Please use the Magenta Word List on our Learning Habitat website) Continue to identify and read many known words, both in isolation and in books and other places Use these skills on a daily basis to increase reading capability

4th May 2016 - Writing Narrative Assessment

Learner: Zivashtine                Learning Coach: Talia Morgan                 Date: 4th May 2016

Learning Area: iDevelop - Writing

Learning Observed

Today we learnt about writing a message. We learnt that we start by addressing who we are sending our message to, followed by the message and ending with whom it is from. After brainstorming what sort of things we could write in our messages to our mum’s for Mother’s Day, we modelled a message together. Zivashtine then went off and wrote her own Mother’s Day message. Zivashtine wrote: “TOMum. DeDr IhopeYou Youa LOtsof Ilove You IWi” all by herself. - “Dear Mum, I hope you have a Mother’s day. Lot’s of love from Zivashtine.”

Evidence of learning

Zivashtine was able to record many words and letters correctly in her Mother’s Day Message. It looks like Zivashtine has been practising her writing in the holidays.

Key Competencies/Vision Principles

Zivashtine was developing her Capabilities in writing. She was able to write her message by herself, without any learning coach assistance (Managing Self). Zivashtine was able to write her own message and included many correct words and letters (Using language, symbols and text). She was able to think about and share her ideas about what a message should have and look like (Participating and Contributing).

Next Learning Steps

Continue to write with this confidence Explicit teaching on correct use of lines Continue teaching use of finger spaces and full stops.
