At the start of the term we administered our Junior Knowledge Numeracy test to find our gaps in Mathematics. We set our self goals for how much we are wanting to achieve in one term. We have worked really hard with learning activities and in Learning Coach directed groups to achieve this goal. Now at the end of the term we have achieved our goal. We are pleased with the work we have done this term.

Today Tammy completed a PM Reading Assessment with me. She read Yellow Level 6 “Nick’s Snowman” to me. Tammy read with 93% accuracy. I then asked her to retell the story to me, she did this with ease. Next I asked her some questions about the text. She was able to answer three out of the five correctly.

In Mathematics we are learning about subtraction and addition. We have started by getting the learners understanding what it means to add or subtract by using materials while working out the answer. Since then the we are moving onto using counting on to help us. This is where you say a number in your head and count on from that number. With this lesson Tammy had a bit of trouble starting off as she started from the number but then counted the other number as a separate number. She was unsure of what she was suppose to be doing. Tammy was just instantly saying the ones she new and notattempting the ones she didn’t. With a bit of encouragement she opened up made it clear that she was trying the strategy that we were practicing.

We have been learning about the art movement Cubism. We have looked at many examples of cubism and have created our own studies using the cubist style. Tammy used the elements of shape and fracture to create a study of a tree and a painting. Tammy used colour and shape to define the different areas of her tree study i.e. the trunk, the leaves and the background. In her painting she experimented with different shades of one colour to define these areas. She then looked at images on the internet to choose an artistic exemplar she was interested in trying. Tammy experimented with a range of subjects for her final work using ideas from her artistic exemplar.

Our aim in Mathematics for this lesson was to say the number that either come before or after the number on the dice. The trick was before the group could tell me the answer they had to check their learning with a buddy. This was getting the learners into the habitat of peer checking and checking their own work. This will allow them to ensure that they are not making careless mistakes in the working. Also it give them a chance to help each other out when they are struggling. When we were doing this activity Tammy was making sure that he always explained her reason why she gave that answer. Suri started off by calling out the answer but she quickly got the habit of discussing with her partner. Ameerah didn’t want to discuss, but when Jenny asked her what she thought Ameerah explained her answer. Jenny was great at encouraging others to contribute. Ella was very good at explaining the answer to those who struggled getting the answer this help those people to improve.

The Key Competencies that were being used in this lesson was “relating to other” as they had to be respectful of others opinion and take turns to explain their reason. Also if someone got the wrong answer they had to explain to them why the answer was wrong and not just tell them that they are wrong. Collaboration was being used in this task as they had to work together to answer the question. It was a competition and to get the points they all had to agree.

During our math workshops we have been beginning addition by identifying what numbers under 10 plus one more equal. We began by gathering 11 beans and two cups. Tammy was able to correctly collect the right number of beans and cups. I asked if she could solve 4+1 and recorded this on the whiteboard. Tammy collected four beans and placed them in one cup and added one bean to the other cup. I asked her how many beans she had altogether to which she told me five. Tammy was able to count the beans from one to solve this equation.

As part of our writing programme we have been exploring different forms of writing. This week we viewed a video of a baby bird hatching and had to describe what happened. We brainstormed ideas before watching and wrote down all the words that we thought would be useful for our writing. After watching the video we added new words to the list and then shared ideas. Tammy enjoyed watching the video and was excited to begin her writing. She has developed her ability to effectively plan for her writing and used a cycle to show the process of the egg hatching. Tammy was able to write three sentences about the video and was able to incorporate four words that we had brainstormed. She was able to locate the words in the list and spell these in her writing. Tammy added personal voice to her writing as she stated “The bird is cute”. She is able to identify the key sounds she hears when sounding out unknown words.

During iDevelop Tammy finished her writing and was moving on to reading time. I asked Tammy if she would like to complete a new activity. I explained that for this activity we had to read the book first then she had to retell the story using the cut-up book. After she had finished reading the book Tammy was beginning to match the images with the text. During this time she was using her knowledge of how to use the picture clues to identify the text as well as using her ability to recognise first letter sounds. Tammy was able to correctly match all the text to the pictures.

Tammy accomplished 36/54 in the alphabet recognition assessment and achieved 3 year 8 months in the Oral Language assessment. During this task Tammy was using the Key Competencies of managing self and using language, symbols, and texts. She was Managing her ability to maintain focus on an activity and was viewing herself as successful and able to complete the task. To complete this activity Tammy was having to apply the knowledge and understandings she holds about the use of language, it’s symbols, and the text.

During Math time today I introduced the learners to a new activity on the iPads - Slide Addition. This game required four learners to play together to answer addition problems as they appear on screen. I began with a demonstration of how to play which they quickly picked up. Simar, Zoey, Suri, and Fernanda were working together to solve the questions. I observed Zoey during this time and noticed her ability to recognise numbers to 10 quickly in tens frames, finger and dice patterns. Zoey was able to add two numbers together without the use of physical materials. Simar began by one to one counting to solve the problems but quickly developed her ability to recognise the number pattern as it was displayed. Fernanda and Suri began by using a mixture of one to one counting when the numbers were higher as well as instant recognition of number patterns. Over the development of the activity all four of the learners developed their ability to quickly recognise the number patterns as they appeared and solved the equations at a rapid pace. When I was discussing with the learners at the end I was told that Simar had ‘won’ the most times, great work!

During this activity Simar, Zoey, Fernanda, and Suri were applying the school vision principles of collaboration and capable. They demonstrated these through their ability to work together to complete an activity whilst supporting each others developing math understanding and extending their existing capabilities. While working on this learning task they were utilising the Key Competencies of Managing Self, and Using Language, Symbols and Texts. This was occurring as they were managing their behaviours and viewing themselves.To participate in this learning activity they had to be able to recognise and understand the mathematical language and symbols.
