Narrative Assessment - iExperience - Term 4, 2015

Learner:  Tavleen and Taj   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).

Next Learning Steps

What else is “trash” that I could create into something “flash”? Ensure I have glued everything down properly and painted all the parts thoroughly. Share learning with home.

Learning Observed

In today’s session we were practicing our basic fractions. We learnt about what a fraction is. Tavleen was organising pictures into the different categories of halves, thirds and quarters. This was a new topic that we have been learning this week. When we started it was very difficult as it was new, but once we understood what a fraction is then it got much easier. The activity that we were doing was the learners had the fractions written on the table and they had to draw the fraction. It was great to see the learner's understanding how to read the fraction and be able to connect that knowledge to a drawing. Tavleen seemed to have no problem with this activity, which was exciting as we were having trouble with this activity yesterday. This shows what repetition and time does to help develop new knowledge.

Key Competencies/Vision Principles

The Key Competencies that are being shown in this activity is “understanding language, symbols and text” as they had to understand what the symbol means and what she needs to draw for it. The Vision Principle that was being shown in this activity is “Connect” as the learners were able to connect their knowledge that they had about fractions to drawing a visual representation for that fraction.

Next Learning Steps

Tavleen's next learning steps are: read and identify fractions such as ⅕, ⅙, and  ⅛ instantly recall doubles and halves to 10
