Literacy Narrative Assessment

Learner: Jiani                           Learning Coach: Mr Hattie                Date: 26 June 2015

Learning Area: Learning Habitat 2 - Literacy

Learning Observed

In literacy Jiani has been working really hard. In our lesson we were working on thinking of questions that we want to find out about our books. Jiani was reading about a man named Rupert and his Ice Cream shop. Her question that she wanted to find out was why does Rupert make ice-cream? This was showing that she is able to be Curious. This is great to see as she is learning about our School Values. During the lesson she got very excited when she found out the answer to her question.

Key Competencies/Vision Principles

Jiani was showing the Key Competency “Thinking” as she had to think about the text and what she was curious about. She was also showing “Managing self” because this activity was an independent task during her reading. She read the story out loud and was trying to find the answer to her question.

Next Learning Steps

Jiani’s next learning steps are: ask questions about events and characters in a text. Develop capabilities around talking about her text.

Self Portraits

Learner:  Jiani            Learning Coach: Luisa Maloni  Date: 25th March, 2015

Learning Area: iExperience: Self Portraits

Learning Observed

During iExperience, the learners have been involved in a rotation of visual arts, music, dance and drama. In the visual arts- learners had the opportunity to discover how other artists tell a story about who they are through their self-portraits. We looked at how we are the same and how we are different and how artists celebrate and accentuate what is special and different about themselves through their work. I observed that Jiani really took these ideas on board and took special care in drawing her features as they are e.g. her fringe and Jiani matched her own skin colour to our ‘People paint’ which provides a range of skin shades in paint.

Evidence of learning

Jiani shows confidence in drawing her 'likeness'.

Key Competencies/Vision Principles

Jiani’s artwork shows that she has Capabilities in observational drawing and attention to ‘likeness’- drawing things in a realistic way. Jiani uses her Thinking skills to make decisions about pattern, composition and colour.

Next Learning Steps

Further develop her drawing skills through explicit practice of proportions Introduce dark and light elements to her painting of faces e.g. shading Identify an artist she likes and experiment with some of their techniques in Art.
