Adding and Subtracting Tens

Learner: Zsofia	Date: 8 June, 2017
Learning Area: Maths Level One and Two Use a range of counting, grouping, and equal-sharing strategies with whole numbers and fractions. Know the forward and backward counting sequences of whole numbers to 100.	Learning Coach: P.L
Learning Observed
In Maths, we have been learning to add and subtract tens by counting on in tens from any number to 100. We have a rule that if we add and subtract tens, then only the tens change and the ones stay the same. We have been learning place value games to help support our learning. Zsofia showed curiosity by listening carefully to questions asked and to feedback given to improve her understanding. She is being collaborative by working with other learners around her and sharing her ideas. Zsofia is beginning to show capability by circling the tens in equations and adding them together. This does not involve renaming or bridging tens.

Zsofia writes a recount

Learner: Zsofia	Date: 19 May, 2017
Learning Area: English Level One Purpose and Audience: Recognise that texts are shaped for different purposes and audiences	Learning Coach: P.L
Learning Observed
In writing, we have been learning about recounts. A recount is an event that is retold by a learner in their own words. We have been learnings lots about paragraphs and how to plan our ideas effectively. Zsofia is beginning to build her sentences into paragraphs. She is capable by recognising that paragraphs have one main idea. Zsofia works collaboratively by orally co-constructing sentences with other learners around her and listens carefully to others share their ideas. She is curious about gifted words and is beginning to make connections with her prior learning. Zsofia didn't visit the Temple with us but she is still about to use gifted words to help her write complex sentences. Here she is sharing her writing with us.

In maths we have been learning to solve number problems by adding and subtracting tens and ones that do not involve the ones regrouping the tens. Our group have been learning to read number problems carefully, identify the three most important parts of the problem that is going to help us solve it and trying to come up with an equation whether it be addition, subtraction, multiplication and division or more than one operation. Zsofia has been learning to identify place value of tens and ones in numbers up to 100.

Key Competencies/ Vision Principles:

Zsofia is collaborative when working with other learners and sharing her ideas in small group discussions. She is being curious when learning new ideas and listening to others share their ideas. Zsofia is connected when being engaged and focus and capable by solving these problems.

iExperience: Gardening in LH1

Learner: Zsofia

Date: 01.03.17

Learning Area: LH1

Learning Coach: Priscilla Lavakula

Learning Observed:

Our school has a garden! As part of our iExperience, our habitat have been learning about gardening and what to plant in our garden. This is also for our community to use, the vegetables we have planted are for our community day at the end of the term. Our learners opted into different activities like: cleaning out the garden bed, putting soil down, cutting up stakes for the signs in our gardens and researching and finding out more about plants and recipes to use.

Key Competencies/ Vision Principles:
Zsofia showed her capability in decision making and opting in to designing and painting signs for the habitat garden. She worked collaboratively with others on one sign and making decisions around what their sign would look like. Zsofia showed curiosity about the different colours of paints and designs of the lettering.

Next Learning Steps:

I would recommend for Zsofia to work with other learners who she is not so familiar with and this would extend to her working collaboratively with others in the habitat.
