Shokrullah - Get, Set, Go!

iExperience Narrative Assessment - Machines that Build

Learner:  Jack and Shokrullah      Learning Coach: M Lennon - LH2      Date:   3 November 2016

Learning Area:  iExperience

NZC Achievement Objective:  Level 1; Technology; Characteristics of Technological Outcomes - Students will understand that technological outcomes are products or systems developed by people and have a physical nature and a functional nature.

Learning Observed

During iExperience Jack and Shokrullah have been learning about machines that build things.  They have been showing their curiosities about the purposes behind different machines, why they were invented, and collaborated on a design. During this iExperience Jack and Shokrullah learned some background about different machines and their purposes.  Their favourites were the machines that had more than one purpose. After learning about different machines and their purposes, Jack and Shokrullah built their own machine and could explain the reasons behind, and purpose of, this machine. Jack and Shokrullah’s machine was a multi-purpose machine.  They started by building a strong base so that it could carry heavy objects without breaking apart.  Then they created instruments that could help build a house from one side, carry long poles from the other side, and as a bonus they also included a utensil for carrying heavy boxes.  I think this machine will be very useful in the building industry!

Evidence of learning

Jack and Shokrullah have made a marvellous machine!

Key Competencies/Vision Principles

During this learning, Jack and Shokrullah demonstrated that they were: Connected - actively taking part in learning conversations and activities. Capable - able to describe the purpose for their machine. Curious - building and rebuilding machines to ensure they are stable enough to carry a load. Managing Self  - using equipment in an appropriate manner.

Next Learning Steps

Keep developing curiosities about machines and their purposes by building bigger, better machines each time. Discuss any new findings with peers to help them build stable, load bearing machines.

Narrative Assessment - Reading - 22 March 2016

Learner:   Shokrullah              Learning Coach:  Megan Croll               Date:  22 March 2016

Learning Area: Literacy - Reading

Learning Observed

This term we have been learning how to sound out the first letter in tricky words.  Shokrullah  completed a PM Benchmark Reading Assessment with me and read a Magenta Level 2 text.  He held the book correctly and maintained correct one-to-one matching between spoken and printed words.  Shokrullah answered all the comprehension questions accurately.

Evidence of learning

Shokrullah scored 79% on word accuracy with 9 errors and 1 self-correction.  He used the pictures to try make sense of the story and looked to me for support with working out some of the letters.

Key Competencies/Vision Principles

Shokrullah is developing his Capabilities in Reading and is starting to Think more about what he is reading to ensure that it makes sense.  He is increasing his ability to recognise early high frequency words (Using Language, Symbols and Text) and tries to Connect what he is reading to his own life experiences.

Next Learning Steps

Independently sound out the initial letter in unknown words Learn more high frequency words Read to someone everyday at home

Narrative Assessment - Developmental - 23 February 2016

Learner:  Shokrullah           Learning Coach: Megan Croll           Date: 23 February 2016

Learning Area:  Developmental

Learning Observed

Today during our ‘Developmental’ session, Shokrullah and two other learners were working together to construct a building with the Duplo blocks.  As the building took shape, they talked about what they wanted to put where, as well as how the ‘people’ would be using the building.   There was discussion about where to put the door and how high the ‘tower’ should be.

Evidence of learning

Keiran, Marcus and Shokrullah were very pleased with the finished result of their building.

Key Competencies/Vision Principles

Shokrullah participated and contributed with others to design and create this building (Thinking).  He demonstrated capability when problems arose, e.g. blocks didn’t fit properly, another learner had already finished a part that he was going to do (Managing Self).

Next Learning Steps

Talk about a plan with others before beginning to build Consider using colour patterns with the blocks

Narrative Assessment - Writing - 3 Feb 2016

Learner: Shokrullah               Learning Coach: Miriam Kamsteeg        Date: 3 Feb 2016

Learning Area: Literacy - Writing

Learning Observed

Today I invited the Learners to write a story about colour they liked. We practised writing “I like” and finding the words on the word card. We then talked about finding the initial letter of the colour we wanted to write about. Shokrullah then went off by himself to write his own story. He wrote “I like belle” (I like blue).

Evidence of learning

Shokrullah was able to sound out the word blue.  I wonder if he has practised his writing in the holidays?

Key Competencies/Vision Principles

Shokrullah is developing his Capabilities in Writing. He was able to work by himself to write a story (Managing Self). Shorkullah 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 of his own story and write it down.

Next Learning Steps

Explicit teaching on using a full stop at the end of a sentence. Continue to teach using the word card to find words and sounds to record for a story. Share learning with home.
