Learning Observed
|
The learners are beginning learning in the area of animal habitats, adaptations and survival needs. During the session the learners began to build their scientific language and develop their understandings of the many ways the natural world can be represented thus communicating in science. In matching the animals to different continents Sameeha, Cassandra, Louisa and Saniya began to recognise that living things are suited to their particular habitat. They can recognise that all living things have certain requirements so they can stay alive. While learning the continent song, the girls all sang along and could say the names of all of the continents and identify them on a world map. They can define what the word habitat means and they can state which continent certain animals are found eg. panda in Asia, giraffe in Africa

Key Competencies/Vision Principles

The girls were enthusiastically engaged in all aspects of the lesson participating and contributing while demonstrating strong collaboration and teamwork. They asked each other for help and didn’t hesitate to check for understanding with other learners or the learning coach. During the matching activity I observed excellent questioning and problem solving strategies. Sameeha and Cassandra thought it would be a good idea to check some of their guesses on the internet. While some of the animals were matched incorrectly to the continents, they persevered to get it correct. They are able to make connections between what a habitat is to an animal and what a habitat is to humans drawing on new learning and prior knowledge.
