Learner: Johnny                    Learning Coach: T Morgan        Date: 6th July 2016

Learning Area: iExplore

Learning Observed

Johnny spent iExplore building and creating with his peers. At first Johnny was enjoying playing on the obstacle course as the other learners created it. Then he saw his peers collaborating, but still needing help so he joined in and helped the other learners to finish building the obstacle course for LH4.

Evidence of learning

Johnny’s Collaborating with his peers to create a new obstacle course! Where will the next pellet go?

Key Competencies/Vision Principles

Johnny was Collaborating with his peers. He saw that his peers needed more help to build the obstacle course and so he started to help by carrying the pellets with the learners and placing the planks of wood (Participating and Contributing). Johnny was talking with his peers about how they would move the materials into place and worked with them to achieve the desired outcome (Relating to others).

Next Learning Steps

Join in with the other learners as soon as he wants. Continue to collaborate with his peers. Spend time with those he collaborates with in iExplore, during iBreaks.

Narrative Assessment - Reading - 24 March 2016

Learner:   Johnny                   Learning Coach:  Megan Croll              Date:  24 March 2016

Learning Area: Literacy - Reading

Learning Observed

Today Johnny completed a PM Benchmark Reading Assessment with me and read a Magenta Level 1 text.  He held the book correctly and maintained correct one-to-one matching between spoken and printed words most of the time.  Johnny used pictures to support his understanding and recognised some high frequency words.

Evidence of learning

Johnny scored 55% on word accuracy with 25 errors and 0 self-corrections.  He used the pictures to try make sense of the story and used the initial letter to sound out unfamiliar words, e.g.  ‘t’ (the).   I wonder if he is thinking carefully about each letter and the sound that it makes.

Key Competencies/Vision Principles

Johnny is developing his Capabilities in Reading and with support, is starting to Think more about what he is reading to ensure that it makes sense.  He is increasing his ability to recognise more high frequency words (Using Language, Symbols and Text) and tries to Connect what he is reading to his own life experiences.

Next Learning Steps

Learn all letter/sound relationships Recognise more high frequency words Read to someone everyday at home
