Narrative Assessment - iExperience - 31 October 2016

Learners:  Skyla, Sunny, Jessica, Harman, Ekamjot, Kaka, Ian, Kaiariki, Riley-Collins, Ash & Lucy Learning Coach:   Megan Croll                                                   Date:  31 October 2016

Learning Area:  iExperience

Learning Observed

In our iExperience session today, the learners were involved in a STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths) activity.   They were assigned the task of making a cage for an animal that would be strong enough to stay up, should a tree happen to fall on top of it if there were to be a terrible storm. First, we looked at some images of animals and which ones we thought that we might see at our zoo trip (connected) later in the term.  In teams of 3-4, the learners were given card, straws and tape.  Then together, they had to work collaboratively to construct their cage.   They tested their cages out to see whether they had built them strong enough to support an object on top (curious).    Many of the learners found out that their cages required more support in the middle and were eager to continue crafting their cages when they returned to school the next day.

Next Learning Steps

Independently make another structure during iExplore Create a structure at home with a brother, sister or parent Look at buildings and talk about how strong they are made

Narrative Assessment - Maths - 11 October 2016

Learners:  Lucy             Learning Coach:   Megan Croll            Date:  11 October 2016

Learning Area:  Maths

Learning Observed

During iDevelop, the learners are given time to independently choose an activity that they can do either with someone, or by themselves.  Today Lucy chose to show that she is able to identify all the numbers from 1-100 by filling in the missing numbers on a hundreds board.  All the numbers were written in the correct order, size and shape. Lucy then decided to circle all the even numbers by skip counting in twos.

Key Competencies/Vision Principles

Lucy is capable of completing a learning activity independently.  She was able to manage herself by finding an appropriate spot to work on this activity and put all the equipment away when she had finished with it.   Lucy connected this activity to previous learning where we were skip counting in twos.

Next Learning Steps

Help other learners to complete a hundreds board Circle the numbers by skip counting in threes
