Narrative Assessment - Developmental - 23 February 2016

Learner:  Jessica            Learning Coach: Megan Croll               Date: 23 February 2016

Learning Area:  Developmental

Learning Observed

Today during our ‘Developmental’ session, Jessica and Kiko were working together to construct a building with the Duplo blocks.  As the building took shape, they talked about what they wanted to put where, as well as how they wanted the building to look.  There was discussion about how to group the colours for the curved edged and how many blocks to put on the top.

Evidence of learning

Jessica and Kiko were very pleased with the finished result of their building.

Key Competencies/Vision Principles

Jessica collaborated with a partner to design and create this building.  She demonstrated capability when problems arose, e.g. blocks didn’t fit properly or her chosen block had already been used.   Jessica was ‘Managing Self’ to work independently with a partner to complete an activity and pack away the materials when she had finished.

Next Learning Steps

Talk about, and draw a plan before beginning to build with blocks Consider using colour patterns with the blocks to make links with maths Use blocks to build with peers outside of her normal friendship group

Narrative Assessment - 16 Feb 2016 - iExperience

Learner: Jessica                 Learning Coach: Miriam Kamsteeg         Date: 16 Feb 2016

Learning Area: iExperience - Science - Living World

Learning Observed

Today in iExperience we were learning about the Frog life cycle. We watched a movie showing the eggs being laid, then turning into tadpoles, then turning into frogs, then the adult frogs laying eggs again. Once the movie was finished the Learners demonstrated their understanding of the life cycle by cutting out pictures of eggs, a tadpole, a frog and arrows and arranging them on their page. We also discussed how there are tadpoles in LH4 and that these came from eggs and would turn into frogs.

Evidence of learning

Jessica demonstrated her understanding by arranging the parts in the circle shape.

Key Competencies/Vision Principles

Jessica showed her Capabilities by creating the Life Cycle. She was able to complete the task without any Learning Coach guidance (Managing Self). Jessica used the arrows to complete her diagram (Using Language, Symbols and Texts). She demonstrated her understanding of the life cycle in the positions of the different aspects of the life cycle (Thinking).

Next Learning Steps

Visit LH4 each week to see the progress with their tadpoles. Investigate are there any other animals that have a similar life cycle? Share learning with home.
