iExperience


Learners: Edward   Habitat: LH1      Learning Coach: R. Moopanar      Date: 19.05.17
Learning Area: iExperience - Art  Key Competency: Participating and Contributing
Learning Observed
This term our focus is on how we can be connected citizens. In order to launch this the learners participated in a connected road safety activity where they collaboratively explored and brainstormed ideas about Road safety. The lasting understanding from this iExperience was that we can be connected in a variety of ways and display these connections by predicting and processing what could happen if we don’t follow instructions on road safety from the checklist. It was great to see the learners supporting each other in being curious and deciding what how to colour in and to hear them describe their posters as an example of how we can recall and connect with others.  All of the learners displayed their capabilities by working independently on their own poster and designs. The posters can be seen displayed in the learner’s  iExperience books.

Writing Narrative Assessment - 14 December 2016


Learner:  Edward    Learning Coach: Megan Croll - LH2        Date:14 December 2016
Learning Area:  Writing
Learning Observed
I read a story with the worm hapu titled ‘Crankenstein’.  This story was about a young boy who looked like any ordinary boy, but when faced with a rainy day, a melting popsicle, or an early bedtime, he transforms into a mumbling, grumbling Crankenstein!   

After reading this story, I asked the learners to think about what makes them turn into a ‘crankenstein’.  Edward was asked to share his ideas with a partner, but was too shy to share with the larger group.   With some support from Mrs Paraha, his Teacher Aide, Edward wrote his ideas in his writing book.  He was able to clearly state his idea about what he doesn’t like to eat.  Edward is rewriting words when he feels that they are incorrect.  He correctly used a capital letter to start his sentence, with a full stop at the end.
