Bariyah & Saniya's Learning Story - Reading to Someone/Listen to Reading

Learners: Bariyah & Saniya    Learning Coach: T.Dillner           Date: 18.2.16

Learning Area: iDevelop - Reading

Learning Observed

As part of our Reading programme in LH1, the learners have been learning about the parts of the Daily 5. This covers a range of activities to enhance capabilities in Literacy. Bariyah and Saniya were spending time reading to one another. This is one aspect of the Daily 5 where learners sit elbow to elbow and knee to knee in order to best communicate to one another. They took turns at reading and listening, following along with the text and pictures. Bariyah and Saniya selected their own books by practicing how to connect the parts of the ‘I Pick’ method - What is the purpose of this book? Is the book interesting? Can I understand/comprehend what is happening? Do I know all the words or are there some that are tricky?

Ask each other questions to develop curiosity e.g. What was your favourite part? Why do you think ______ happened? Summarise what happened at the beginning, middle and end of the text.

Annia, Saniya, Angkor & Ronav- iExperience Connected Challenge Learning Story

Learners:  Annia, Saniya, Angkor & Ronav Learning Coach: D Wilkes          Date: 5.2.16

Learning Area: iExperience - Connected Challenge   Key Competency: Relating to Others

Learning Observed

This term our focus is on how we can be connected citizens. In order to launch this the learners participated in a ‘Connected Challenge’ (see below).  In this challenge Annia, Saniya, Angkor and Ronav worked in a team and collaborated on various connected tasks.  They first had to look at the challenge and devise a plan- which tasks would they do first?!  It was great to see the group negotiate and discuss their options with Annia demonstrating some real leadership skills.  I observed the group while they were brainstorming ‘OrmPS’ words and they really engaged with the task- Ronav contributed ‘respect, Saniya contributed the word ‘MySpace’ and Angkor contributed the word ‘share’ while Annia offered many more.  It was great to see the enthusiasm and curiosity from this group.  Some of the tasks they worked on included- the Curious challenge- coming up with questions for the learning coaches and the Connected challenge- crossing the Nile River without getting caught by the crocodiles!  There was some great strategy and collaboration in this team- Ka Pai!
