Narrative Assessment - Math Term 2

Learner: Tammy                    Learning Coach: Abby Morgan              Date: 8 June 2015

Learning Area: Math

Learning Observed

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.

Evidence of learning

Tammy was able to add one to numbers under 10. I wonder if she knows her addition facts to 5?

Key Competencies/Vision Principles

Tammy was developing the vision principles of being capable as well as extending the key competencies of using language, symbols and texts, and thinking skills. She was applying her knowledge of numbers to extend her existing capabilities while using the correct mathematical language to communicate her ideas. Tammy was also utilising effective thinking skills to recall and apply new learning.

Narrative Assessment - Literacy: Writing Term 2

Learner: Tammy                    Learning Coach: Abby Morgan             Date: 22 June 2015

Learning Area: Literacy - Writing

Learning Observed

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.

Evidence of learning

Tammy was able to write three sentences about the video. I wonder if she enjoys writing at home too?

Key Competencies/Vision Principles
