Learning Observed

Today we had Get Set Go, a sports programme, come to our school. Coach Cameron taught us a whole lot of new games like walk the plank - where we had to walk along the lines on the court and there were two pirates with noodle swords who would tag us, and red light-green light- where different colours meant we had to do different things to try and make our way to the end of the court. It was so much fun!

Evidence of learning

Get Set Go Movie We are learning to move and balance in all different ways. Watch me play red light-green light!

Key Competencies/Vision Principles

I am developing my Capabilities in Physical Education. I was able remember and tell Coach Cameron what the 3 rules were 1) when Coach Cameron is talking, we are listening, 2) when the whistle blows we freeze, and 3) we must have fun! (Managing Self). I took turns at being the “police officer” that checked for people who were moving when they should be frozen, offering my second turn to someone who hadn’t already had a turn (Relating to Others). I had fun learning all the games Coach Cameron taught us and especially playing them (Participating and Contributing).

Next Learning Steps

Always have my hat at school to wear for iBreaks and Get Set Go. Play the game with your peers Think of one way we could change this game (maybe one colour we could add with an action).

Writing Narrative Assessment

Learner: Kiko                Learning Coach: Talia Morgan        Date: 19th August 2016

Learning Area: iDevelop - Writing

Learning Observed

Kiko was given the topic of her ‘family’ and was asked to tell the LC anything and everything about her family, who was in it and whatever they wanted to tell us about their family because they are the ones who know their families, the LC doesn’t. Kiko wrote a story about her family, telling us about what her mum and dad do for her.

Evidence of learning

Kiko has written a fantastic story about her family. I like the way she has tried to sound out the tricky words!

Key Competencies/Vision Principles

Kiko is developing her Capabilities in writing. She was able to independently write her own story (Managing Self). Kiko wrote a story about her family, telling her reader all about what her family do for her, including the who and what (Using Language, Symbols and Text). Kiko tried to sound out difficult and unfamiliar words on her own and recorded the sounds in the order she could hear them in and wrote most high frequency words correctly (Thinking).

Next Learning Steps

Use capital letters and full stops correctly. Continue to sound out and record tricky words. Share learning with home.
