Giraffes

Learning Observed

Zsofia has been learning to write Diamante Poems themed around her recent visit to Auckland Zoo. Firstly, Zsofia had to brainstorm different nouns, adjectives and verbs about giraffes.  Then she had to choose which ones she would use to make her poem make sense. Zsofia was given a template structure to follow, which listed the order in which her nouns, adjectives and verbs needed to be.  She was able to follow the structure independently to produce the above poem.

Key Competencies/Vision Principles

During this learning, Zsofia demonstrated that she was: Connected - actively taking part in learning conversations and activities. Capable - understanding the different parts of speech have different purposes. Curious - asking questions and seeking new vocabulary. Thinking  - able to brainstorm and find words relevant to the topic.

Next Learning Steps

Teach others how to write a diamante poem. Begin thinking about opposite words for an antonym diamante poem.

Learning Observed

Today Zsofia completed a PM Benchmark Reading Assessment with me and read a Yellow Level 8 text.  She read with a natural rhythm most of the time and occasionally used her finger to point to each word.  Zsofia answered all five comprehension questions accurately.

Evidence of learning

Zsofia scored 97% on word accuracy and 5/5 for comprehension.  She used the pictures to help make sense of the story and tried to use her letter sounds to decode unfamiliar words, e.g. garden.

Key Competencies/Vision Principles

Zsofia is developing her Capabilities in Reading and is Thinking about what she is reading to ensure that it all makes sense.  She is good at recognising many high frequency words (Using Language, Symbols and Text) and tries to Connect what she is reading to her own life experiences.

Next Learning Steps

Stop using a finger to point to each word Look carefully at unfamiliar words and reread when it doesn’t make sense Read a variety of texts types at home and school
