Narrative Assessment - iExplore - Term 3, 2015



Learner: Zsofia                    Learning Coach: Miriam Kamsteeg     
Date: Term 3, Weeks 5-7, 2015
Learning Area: iExplore - Reflections - Science
Learning Observed
Zsofia choose to be a part of the iExplore group looking at reflections. We first brainstormed where we would be able to see our reflections. Then we had walk around the school to see what we could find our reflection in. As a group we decided that we all wanted to explore reflections with mirrors. We spent time using mirrors to create reflections. We discovered that you could get the sun on the mirror and send it around the room, you can look under things like the shelves on wheels, if you hold your mirror up to another mirror you can see lots of mirrors and we explored mirror writing.
Evidence of learning

Zsofia is showing how she can use a mirror to reflect the sun on another surface.
Key Competencies/Vision Principles
Zsofia showed Collaboration by  working with other Learners to investigate different ways to show/ find reflections (Participating and Contributing). They also showed that they were Capable by sharing their learning back on the video.
Zsofia explored many different ways to reflect with mirrors (Thinking).
Next Learning Steps
  • Share learning with other Learners not part of the iExplore group
  • Explore with other items that reflect
  • Share learning with home.

Narrative Assessment - Literacy - 21 July 2015


Learner: Zsofia        Learning Coach:Miriam Kamsteeg                 Date: 21 July 2015
Learning Area: Literacy - Writing
Learning Observed
Today I for writing I modelled a story. The Learners helped me find the words on the table tent first “I went to the…”. The last word was “supermarket”. We worked together to record down as many sounds as we could. We wrote “spmkt”. The Learners then had to write their own story of where they went.
Zsofia started off copying my story. Then she said that they wanted to say that my mum went to pak ‘n save. She wrote down “and my” by herself. Then she asked me how to write “mum”. I said, “mum m, m, m”. She said, “m!” Then I said, “u, u, u up, up umbrella”. She said, “u!” Then “m, m, m”. She wrote “m”. Then we sounded out pak ‘n save together.

Zsofia is starting to sound out tricky words by herself. I wonder if she practises her writing at home?
Key Competencies/Vision Principles
Zsofia developing her Capabilities in Writing. She is starting to be able to record down words and letters independently (Managing Self). Zsofia had decided what she wanted to write about before she started (Thinking). She is beginning to write stories (Using Language, Symbols and Texts).
Next Learning Steps
  • Continue to use the table tent to find words/ sounds
  • Continue to explicitly teach sounding out words
  • Share learning with home.
