Learning Area: iDevelop:Writing

Learning Observed

Zsofia has been learning to write independently. Yesterday Zsofia drew a picture and described it saying ‘This is me and this is the water’. Today, Zsofia sat down and wrote her story starting with her name. She then used the alphabet cards to copy letters, writing from left to right across the page, returning to the next line underneath and writing from left to right again (return sweep). She then dictated her story to the Learning Coach (Mrs Williams) who wrote this under her writing. She was eager to share her writing with me and told me that she had used the alphabet cards to find the letters.

Evidence of learning

Zsofia can write her own name and is using a return sweep and recognisable letters to write her story.

Key Competencies/Vision Principles

Zsofia is demonstrating her Capabilities in Using Language, Symbols and Text. She shows that she understands that text carries meaning and is linked to her picture. She is able to form some letters correctly and is developing her capabilities in forming others.  In working alongside the Learning Coach- sharing her ideas and discussing next steps for learning, she is building skills in Collaboration and the key competency Relating to Others.

Next Learning Steps
