Narrative Assessment - Developmental - 23 February 2016

Learner:  Kiko             Learning Coach: Megan Croll               Date: 23 February 2016

Learning Area:  Developmental

Learning Observed

Today during our ‘Developmental’ session, Kiko and Jessica were working together to construct a building with the Duplo blocks.  As the building took shape, they talked about what they wanted to put where, as well as how they wanted the building to look.  There was discussion about how to group the colours for the curved edged and how many blocks to put on the top.

Evidence of learning

Kiko and Jessica were very pleased with the finished result of their building.

Key Competencies/Vision Principles

Kiko collaborated with a partner to design and create this building.  She demonstrated capability when problems arose, e.g. blocks didn’t fit properly or her chosen block had already been used.  Kiko was ‘Managing Self’ to work independently with a partner to complete an activity and pack away the materials when she had finished.

Next Learning Steps

Talk about, and draw a plan before beginning to build with blocks Consider using colour patterns with the blocks to make links with maths Use blocks to build with peers outside of her normal friendship group

Learning Area: Literacy - Writing

Learning Observed

Today we looked at how our letter of the week; ‘B’/’b’ are formed. We drew a line inside the letters provided to see what direction we take the pen first to form the ‘B’/’b’. Then we used the crayons to draw a B/b letter on our paper, before finally colouring in our letters. Kiko completed the three stages for both capital B and lower-case b. Kiko was engaged and enthusiastic about this writing activity.

Evidence of learning

Kiko was able to form a capital ‘B’ and lower-case ‘b’ in three different ways. I wonder if Kiko can use these letters in her writing this week?

Key Competencies/Vision Principles

Kiko is developing his Capabilities in Writing. She was able to work by herself to form the letters in three different ways, without the learning coach (Managing Self). Kiko is starting to form her letters correctly and use the letter sounds she can hear (Using Language, Symbols and Text). She was able to Think of the three steps and complete them, as well as remind others (Relating to others).

Next Learning Steps

To use either capital ‘B’, lower-case ‘b’, or both in his writing this week. Continue to practice letter formation. Continue to teach using the word card to find words and sounds to record for a story. Share learning with home.
