Learning Area: iExperience

Learning Observed

On Friday afternoons during iExperience we invite learners to choose from of a range of activities that develop language and imaginary play. Harman chose to write a booklet about her trip to the zoo with her family. She came to me to show me her work of which she was very proud. Harman explained she had gone to the zoo with her family and had seen some of her friends there.

Evidence of learning

Harman is choosing to express her ideas through written language in a format she has chosen herself. I wonder if Harman enjoys writing at home?

Key Competencies/Vision Principles

Harman demonstrates her Capabilities with written language (Using Language, Symbols and Text). She shows her independence (Managing Self) in choosing to write without an adult prompting her to do so, and her ability to spell and write high frequency words and people’s names. Harman is Connected with people and events that are important to her and uses these to motivate and build upon her learning at school.

Next Learning Steps

Use other forms of presentation to share experiences from home and school e.g. an e-book, poster, artwork Locate words she would like to use for writing from displays, word charts, the internet or simple dictionaries
