Speech Narrative Assessment

Stephan Learning Coach:   S Hooker & D Wilkes         Date: 2 September 2016

Learning Area:        iDevelop: Speaking, Writing and Presenting                                         Key Competency:   Using Language, Symbols and Text NZC AO:                   Level 2 Language Features: Students will: • Select and use sources of information, processes, and strategies with some confidence to identify, form, and express ideas.

Learning Observed

This term our learners developed their capabilities in speech writing. Stephan participated in workshops to plan, write, edit and present his speech.  The learners were introduced to persuasive language, speech organisation and effective speaking skills & strategies.  He used feedback provided by the Learning Coaches and his peers to make improvements to his overall performance.  The use of a google document allowed Mrs Hooker and Ms Wilkes to provide ongoing feedback to the learners regarding their speech content, organisation and persuasive writing. Stephan collaborated with other learners to practice and apply his presentation and speaking skills.  The learners used iPads to record each other speaking and used these recordings to observe, notice and make changes to their volume, pace, eye contact, body language and overall confidence.   With support and guidance Stephan was able to share his knowledge and use appropriate language to inform the audience.   It was great to see Stephan practice and apply his public speaking skills to develop an overall capability both at speaking and writing to inform. Ka pai!

Mathlympics Narrative- Week 4&5

Narrative Assessment: Learning Coach:  Diana Wilkes         Date: 25 August 2016 Stephan, Joshua, Nehal & Tristan

Learning Area:         Maths                                               Key Competency:    Using language, symbols & texts, Managing Self NZC AO:                   Level 2 Measurement→ Create and use appropriate units and devices                                       to measure length, area, volume and capacity, weight (mass), turn                                       (angle), temperature, and time.

Learning Observed

These boys have participated in the Mathlympics iExperience which has involved a series of measurement challenges, a BreakOut code team problem solving task in Week 4 and the archery challenge in Week 5.  The mini-mathlympics iExperience enabled the boys to be curious as they explored the resources in the various mathlympics activities where they measured volume, capacity, distance, time and practiced setting up a calendar. They were encouraged to explore the different resources and see how they could build on their maths capability. They connected the knowledge that they already had about good ways to practise maths capability with the equipment and used it to make conclusions about what to do with the equipment.  In the BreakOut EDU activity Joshua and Nehal were very excited and they all collaborated well and managed to crack some codes. It was great to observe how well they collaborated together with the new additions to their team and how they applied their prior knowledge to the bow and arrow design.  Joshua, Aarav and Nehal worked together on their design while Stephan and Tristan designed their own bow & arrow.  They were inspired by some videos before they began to draw their design and list the materials needed.  They built their design with materials making modifications as they went and practiced shooting before the final competition.  It was wonderful to see how enthusiastic they were in this learning and their reflections demonstrated this.

Next Learning Steps

Tell your family about how you improved your bow and arrow to make it shoot farther Write a blog post to reflect on the learning especially what you’d do differently next time. Practice measuring at home (eg. when cooking) Try to improve your bow and arrow or make a new design- what makes it better?

Collaborative iExplore Brainstorm of Curiosities

Learners: Stephan, Melissa, Samar and Aarav Learning Coach:   Stephanie Hooker         Date: 24 August 2016

Learning Area:          iExplore                                         Key Competency:     Participating and Contributing NZC AO:                    Level 2 Language Features: uses a large and increasing bank of high-frequency, topic-specific, and personal-content words to make meaning & shows an increasing knowledge of the conventions of text

Learning Observed

In iExplore today we worked collaboratively in small groups to share and record our wonderings and questions.  The focus for this particular activity was to identify areas of interest for our future iExplore projects. We share ideas for topics and make open ended questions that we can research and explore. Providing our learners with the opportunity to make choices about their learning promotes self directed learning, and  research tells us this increases focus and motivation.  Stephan, Melissa, Samar and Aarav co-constructed some wonderings and recorded them in a shared mind-map so all could look at them. It was great to see them make connections to their curiosities.

Evidence of learning & learner voice

Stephan- I wonder “Why isn’t Xbox 2 out yet?” Melissa - I wonder “How does it rain?” Samar - I wonder “Can we do planting?” Araav - I wonder “How was earth created?”
