Narrative Assessment - Literacy - September 2015

Learner: Ash                    Learning Coach:  Miriam Kamsteeg            Date: 3 and 7 September 2015

Learning Area: Literacy - Reading

Learning Observed

Today I completed a Reading Assessment on Ash. I tested her on a yellow level book. She was able to read this with 96% accuracy, retell the story and answer comprehension questions about this story. A few days later I retested Ash, this time on a harder Blue level book. This story showed an instructional reading level of 92% , but still good retelling and comprehension of what she is reading. This means that Ash has now moved up to the Blue level texts.

Evidence of learning

Ash found this text easy to read so I wondered how she would go at Blue level?

Key Competencies/Vision Principles

Ash has shown that she has developed her Capabilities in reading Yellow books as she is very confident at this level now. She is ensuring she understands the story as she is reading (Thinking). This also shows that Ash has been practising her reading at home (Managing Self). She is reading many different words now (Using Language, Symbols and Texts).

Next Learning Steps

Continue to read each night at home Practise reading all the basic words that appear in her books Retell the stories she reads.

iExplore- Cubism

Learner:   Ash      Learning Coach:   Luisa Maloni            Date: 4th September, 2015

Learning Area: iExplore: Visual Art: Cubism

Learning Observed

We have been learning about the art movement Cubism. We have looked at many examples of cubism and have created our own studies using the cubist style. Ash used the elements of shape and fracture as well as using different shades of one colour to create a study of a tree and a painting. She then looked at images on the internet to choose an artistic exemplar she was interested in trying. Ash chose an image of a butterfly and then created her own study using ideas from her artistic exemplar.

Evidence of learning

Ash uses an artistic exemplar to explore ideas about Cubism. I can’t wait to see her final work!

Key Competencies/Vision Principles

Ash demonstrates the Vision principles of Curiosity in experimenting with and searching for new ideas in cubism, Capability in executing beautiful, bold and expressive artworks and Connected in connecting with what other artists are doing within the art style of Cubism. She uses the Key Competencies of Thinking as she develops her own creativity as well as follow an inquiry process.

Next Learning Steps

Use new language to describe her artworks e.g. shape, fracture, hues, shades Describe what she has learned and say what her next steps are
