Learning Area: English Level One Purpose and Audience: Recognise that texts are shaped for different purposes and audiences	Learning Coach: P.L
Learning Observed
In writing, we have been learning about recounts. A recount is an event that is retold by a learner in their own words. We have been learnings lots about paragraphs and how to plan our ideas effectively. Kiko is beginning to build her sentences into paragraphs. She is capable by recognising that paragraphs have one main idea. Kiko works collaboratively by orally co-constructing sentences with other learners around her and listens carefully to others share their ideas. She is curious about gifted words and is beginning to make connections with her prior learning. Kiko wrote about our school trip to the Fo Guan Shan temple in Flatbush. Here she is sharing her writing with us.

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).
