Learner: Jennings               Learning Coach: Talia Morgan                Date: 12th May 2016

Learning Area: iDevelop - Writing

Learning Observed

Today Jennings was caught doing some #Oresome learning! Jennings was invited to work in a guided writing workshop with me and he quickly thought of what he wanted to write about. He decided to write “IW ant tO go jarsc WrD.” - “I want to go to Jurassic World.” Jennings was quick to start writing as well and promptly finished what he wanted to write, as well as drawing his picture. Jennings also helped his peer who wanted to write the same thing.

Evidence of learning

Jennings is showing his Capabilities in his own writing and supporting others in their writing. Good job Jennings!

Key Competencies/Vision Principles

Jennings is developing his Capabilities in writing. He was able to independently think of his own story (Thinking) and write the high frequency words by himself, using the alphabet card (Managing Self). Jennings sounded out the main letter sounds he could hear and recorded them with support from Learning Coach (Using Language, Symbols and Text). He also supported another learner to write his story as he wanted to write something similar (Relating to Others).

Next Learning Steps

Continue to sound out and record the main letter sounds in unfamiliar words. Continue to write high frequency words with support. Encourage to write about anything and whenever. Share learning with home.

Narrative Assessment - Writing - 10 Mar 2016

Learner:  Jennings                   Learning Coach:  Talia Morgan       Date: 10 Mar 2016

Learning Area: Literacy - Writing

Learning Observed

Today I modelled a story for the learners, with their help. I modelled a story about somewhere I had been in the past - “I went to school”. Jennings went off to do independent writing and was able to write down the same story we had modelled and written together, without any learning coach help and without an alphabet card. Jennings also illustrated his story with a picture of our school. He was also able to write within the lines.

Evidence of learning

Jennings was able to write down our modelled story all by himself. What a huge improvement!

Key Competencies/Vision Principles

Jennings is developing his Capabilities in his writing. He was able to work by himself to write our modelled story without any learning coach help (Managing Self). Jennings is starting to form his letters correctly and listen to the sounds they make when recording them (Using language, symbols and text). He was able to Think about our modelled story and write it.

Next Learning Steps

Explicit teaching on correct use of capital letters. Explicit teaching on correct letter formation. Continue to teach finding the basic words on the word card. Continue to teach finding the sounds of initial letters on the word card to record for a story. Share learning with home.
