Curiosity quest

Learner: Tristan                                                  Learning Coach :R.Moopanar      Date:  23 October 2016  Week 1-2                                         Learning Area: Science

Learning Observed

For the past few weeks the learners have been engaged in a curiosity quest!  The learners were given the choice of 8 curiosity quests which included: Why it is important to learn about eggs, imaginary planets, can humans live on another planet, why are New Zealanders called kiwis, how did dinosaurs live, telling the time and why is the solar system an exciting place - each of which would develop their curiosity.  Shaval and Tristan enjoyed the first week of ‘discovery learning’ where they had some choices of tasks to complete to help them get familiar with the planets of the solar system and make connections to their prior knowledge.  They watched videos and created a KWL chart about what they knew and what they wanted to learn about the planets of the solar system.  They created a slideshow of their learning.  Shaval also supported Tristan with finding information - great collaboration and leadership.  Thereafter they worked collaboratively to design and create a poster to compare and contrast two planets of their choice .  In order to create the poster successfully there was a lot of discussion.  They showed their curiosity, thinking and managing self skills by looking at what others had done and making connections to what they wanted to achieve.  See their presentation here.

Speech Narrative Assessment

Tristan Learning Coach:   S Hooker & D Wilkes         Date: 2 September 2016

Learning Area:        iDevelop: Speaking, Writing and Presenting                                         Key Competency:   Using Language, Symbols and Text NZC AO:                   Level 2 Language Features: Students will: • Select and use sources of information, processes, and strategies with some confidence to identify, form, and express ideas.

Learning Observed

This term our learners developed their capabilities in speech writing. Tristan participated in workshops to plan, write, edit and present his speech.  The learners were introduced to persuasive language, speech organisation and effective speaking skills & strategies.  He used feedback provided by the Learning Coaches and his peers to make improvements to his overall performance.  The use of a google document allowed Mrs Hooker and Ms Wilkes to provide ongoing feedback to the learners regarding their speech content, organisation and persuasive writing. Tristan was reluctant to collaborate with other learners to practice and apply his presentation and speaking skills.  The learners used iPads to record each other speaking and used these recordings to observe, notice and make changes to their volume, pace, eye contact, body language and overall confidence.   Tristan was refused to share his speech with his fellow peers so presented his speech to one other learner and one Learning Coach. His speech topic would have been enjoyed by others, so perhaps next time he would like to share his information with a larger group.
