Narrative Assessment - Oral Language - 21 June 2016

Learner:  Zoey        Learning Coach:   Megan Croll - LH2              Date: 21 June  2016

Learning Area:  Oral Language

Learning Observed

LH2 were invited to present and share our thinking about what Collaborative Meeting is at a whole school hui.   Zoey and some other Learners from LH2 volunteered to be part of this presentation group.  Zoey, along with Shaun, were selected to be the MCs for this performance.  Their role was to introduce each performing group and share a little information about what Collaborative Meeting means to LH2.   Zoey was given some time in the previous week to learn her lines and practise presenting them to a small group of her peers.   Mr Dyer worked with Zoey to help her with some of the more difficult words and to learn how to speak clearly so that her audience would be able to hear her.

Evidence of learning

Zoey and Shaun practised their performance in front of other LH2 Learners.

Key Competencies/Vision Principles

Zoey is demonstrating that she is Capable of volunteering and carrying through with a role which would have provided her with some challenges.   She worked Collaboratively with Shaun to share their lines and support each other with their learning.   Zoey was able to follow instructions and carried out her important role in a positive manner (Managing Self). During the hui, Zoey was required to wait patiently for the audience to quieten down (Relating to Others) and communicated effectively (Using Language, Symbols and Text).

Next Learning Steps

Learn all the required lines so that presenting can take place without referring to any notes Provide support to others when presenting in front of an audience

Learning Area: Numeracy

Learning Observed

During Math time today I introduced the learners to a new activity on the iPads - Slide Addition. This game required four learners to play together to answer addition problems as they appear on screen. I began with a demonstration of how to play which they quickly picked up. Simar, Zoey, Suri, and Fernanda were working together to solve the questions. I observed Zoey during this time and noticed her ability to recognise numbers to 10 quickly in tens frames, finger and dice patterns. Zoey was able to add two numbers together without the use of physical materials. Simar began by one to one counting to solve the problems but quickly developed her ability to recognise the number pattern as it was displayed. Fernanda and Suri began by using a mixture of one to one counting when the numbers were higher as well as instant recognition of number patterns. Over the development of the activity all four of the learners developed their ability to quickly recognise the number patterns as they appeared and solved the equations at a rapid pace. When I was discussing with the learners at the end I was told that Simar had ‘won’ the most times, great work!

Evidence of learning

Zoey, Simar, Fernanda, and Suri competing to complete the maths addition game.

Key Competencies/Vision Principles

During this activity Simar, Zoey, Fernanda, and Suri were applying the school vision principles of collaboration and capable. They demonstrated these through their ability to work together to complete an activity whilst supporting each others developing math understanding and extending their existing capabilities. While working on this learning task they were utilising the Key Competencies of Managing Self, and Using Language, Symbols and Texts. This was occurring as they were managing their behaviours and viewing themselves.To participate in this learning activity they had  to be able to recognise and understand the mathematical language and symbols.

Next Learning Steps

Assist in developing faster instant recognition of number patterns and basic facts to 10. Introduce the learners to other ‘math slide’ games to assist with numeracy. Encourage the learners to work on Mathletics
