Learning Observed

Today in Reading we were focusing on the basic words “look” and “at”. Harman, Ethan and James were all able to read the words without prompting when I read them out.
Ethan was reading “The Animal Show”, James “My Hat” and Harman “Fishing”
James was able to point to each word as we read together “Look at my hat”.
Harman started to read she said, “I…” and then got stuck on the word “have”. I prompted her and she was able to read the rest with no support “... a fish. Look at my fish” and finger point to each word.
Ethan pointed to each word and read, “look at my toes, said rabbit”. I said “look at my…” and pointed to the rabbit in the picture and traced my fingers over his large ears. Ethan said, “ears!” “Look at my ears, said rabbit”.
On the next page James read, “look at my hat, look at…” I prompted him with “your” and he re-read “look at your hat”.
Harman read with support “oh no”. The she confidently read, “I…” She looked at me for the next word. I said “have. She read, “have a …” Ethan said, “rock”. Harman read, “I have a rock.”
On Ethan’s next page he said, “Look at my mouth said bird”. I pointed at the word beak and said, “beak” and pointed to the picture. Ethan read again “look at my mouth said bird.”

Our favourite pages in our books!
  
The Learners are starting to read confidently by themselves. I wonder how many more basic sight words they know now?

Key Competencies/Vision Principles
|
On the Duncan Basic word test at the end of Term 1 James scored 3/24, Ethan 3/24 and Harman 3/24. Ethan, Harman and James are developing their Capabilities in Reading. Harman, James and Ethan have shown that they are looking at the picture to try to work out the text (Thinking). James, Ethan and Harman are starting to read many basic sight words (Using Language, Symbols and Texts).

Learning Observed

During iExplore time Benjamin was observing the Frogs in their habitat. I walked over and he told me what the frogs were doing. He said “one frog is swimming and one frog jump up the top.” I asked Benjamin if he could tell me about what the frogs need to live, he told me they need food because they are “very very hungry”. He then asked me “What can we do for the frogs?” I replied that we need to get them some more food. Benjamin then told me that “We can catch the flies, I’m fast at catching flies.” Ethan came over to join our conversation, and together Benjamin and Ethan discussed the frogs - what they were doing, what they could eat, and what they could do to catch the flies. Ethan suggested we check the fly traps - but they were still empty!

Key Competencies/Vision Principles
|
During this discussion both Ethan and Benjamin were developing the Key Competencies of relating to others as they were both having to apply active listening skills to engage with each other. As well as this, they were both applying their use of language, symbols and texts as they were developing their oral language conversation skills. Together they were using the School vision principles of being collaborative and curious. These skills were being developed through the use of questioning skills to engage discussion and to positively interact with each other.
