Narrative Assessment - 7th July 2016
Learner: Ethan Learning Coach: T Morgan Date: 7th July 2016
|
Learning Area: iDevelop - Maths
|
Learning Observed
|
Today during maths, to help us understand fractions, we made some origami. Ethan made his own puppy dog face by following the fractions instructions (i.e. fold in half) and then went on to help his peers to make their masks as well.

Evidence of learning

Ethan used his fractions to make a puppy dog face! What will he use his fractions for next?
|
Key Competencies/Vision Principles
|
Ethan is developing his Capabilities in maths. He was able to follow the instructions and work through them with the Learning Coach to complete his own puppy dog mask (Managing Self). Ethan then offered to help his peers to complete their masks when they were a little bit stuck on what to do next or how they should fold it in half (Relating to Others; Participating and Contributing).

Narrative Assessment - 4 March 2016 - Reading
Learner: Ethan Learning Coach: Megan Croll Date: 4 March 2016
|
Learning Area: Reading
|
Learning Observed
|
Ethan has been reading with confidence and fluency over the past three weeks. He has been able to talk about what he has read and answer both literal and inferential questions. Ethan appears to enjoy reading and likes to read to others.
I felt that Ethan was ready for a reading test (Running Record), to see if ‘Green’ levelled books would be more suitable for guided reading.
|
Evidence of learning
|
|
Ethan read an unseen text titled “The Best Runner “. He scored 96% accuracy with 6 errors and 4 self corrections. He sounded out the word ‘wanted’, but was pronouncing ‘ant’ as the insect. Ethan also read ‘out’ as ‘at’ and ‘first’ as ‘fast’.
Ethan was able to talk about the story and answer several questions to illustrate his understanding.

Key Competencies/Vision Principles
|
Ethan used his knowledge of letter sounds to sound out unknown words (Using Language, Symbols and Text). He had to stop and think when the meaning of the story was not clear. Ethan demonstrated a capability to use decoding strategies when faced with challenging parts of an unfamiliar text.

Ethan's Writing Narrative
Learner: Ethan Learning Coach: Mr Dyer Date: Week 3 - Term 1
| |||||||||
Learning Area: Writing
| |||||||||
Learning Observed
| |||||||||
We have hit the ground running and are already challenging ourselves to identify what makes writing effective and how we can capture this learning in our own writing. We have identified that our best writing comes from the heart and involves sharing our thoughts, wonderings and feelings about a particular subject. We have also begun exploring ‘Show’ not ‘Tell’ to develop imagery and depth in our writing, along with writing about our sensory responses to daily events. Finally, through selecting elements of Who, What, Why, When, Where and How, we can focus on different elements of our writing in more detail.
Ethan has begun to use some of the above writing techniques to make his writing #Oresome! He has the opportunity to write every day, and is involved in our author’s circles where they can seek advice and share their writing with myself and other learners. They are also invited to respond to areas for development at various stages of the writing process. It will be exciting to see how their writing develops over the course of the year starting from the example below which was one of their first pieces of independent writing.
On a Friday, Ethan contributes to our group blog. We share our thoughts, wonderings and feelings about the previous week and collaborate with the other writing groups before posting on our habitat blog. Be sure to check out these blogs when you can.

This was Ethan’s first effort at writing this year. It will be exciting to see how he progresses as the year goes on.
 | |||||||||
Key Competencies/Vision Principles
| |||||||||
Ethan has begun to show his capabilities in writing even at this early stage of the year. We are connecting with events from our lives to make writing real to us. We are doing a range of independent writing and more collaborative pieces.
| |||||||||
Next Learning Steps
| |||||||||
Ethan should continue to write from the heart and visit the Author’s circle for regular input into his writing. Ethan is encouraged to share his writing with family members and also with other audiences at school and home.This will give him a chance to receive authentic feedback that can be used to make their next piece of writing even better.

Narrative Assessment - iExperience - Term 4, 2015
Learner: Harman, Ethan and James Learning Coach: Miriam Kamsteeg Date: Weeks 7-10, Term 4, 2015
|
Learning Area: iExperience
|
Learning Observed

This iExperience involved turning “Trash” into something “Flash”. They started with a piece of cardboard and had to create a photo frame to for their superhero photo. We had lots of scraps of cardboard, cellophane, tissue paper, wool and fabric bits for the Learners to use to create this.
|
Evidence of learning
|
They have used “trash” to create this frame. Isn’t it starting to look flash!
|
Key Competencies/Vision Principles
|
They are developing their CURIOSITY by thinking about what scraps would be good to cut up to put on their frame (THINKING). They had to work by themselves and ensure that they got everything finished in time (MANAGING SELF).
