I really like play with Seth and I enjoy about making my presentation. I saw YouTube and I find a awesome Samsung video.

Learning Observed

In shared reading, Madagascar Deaf learners have learned not only to read the text but also to translate into NZSL.  Mohammed understood the story well and he was developing to translate English texts into NZSL. Mohammed was curious to learn unknown words and examine them in the English dictionary and NZSL dictionary.  If he was not sure the meanings in the dictionary, he asked his learning coach and/or the NZSL interpreter what it means. He worked collaboratively with his buddy and was capable to share his understandings with him.  He tried to use correct NZSL grammar while retelling the story.  When discussing about the ending of the story, he connected his own experience and shared his ideas about how we can stop teasing in the classroom.

Learning Observed

Over the last few weeks, learners form Habitat 3 have been encouraged to work collaboratively  to organise a Hui for both Habitat 1 and 3 to attend on Friday afternoon.  This has been an opportunity for learners to connect with one another and discuss and organise different ideas that they may have for this time.  This week Ved, Prisha, Shivran, Ayush, Alex, Jasonta, Mervlyn, Neha and Brooklyn, showed their capability by organising a slideshow, waiata, talent show, weather report  and certificate presentation.  Prisha and Shivran organised the slideshow that supported our two presenters, Ved and Ayush.   Alex and Jasonta signed a detailed weather report.   While, Brooklyn, Neha and Mervlyn presented certificates to those learners that were connected through play earlier in the week.

Next Learning Steps

-Continue to seek opportunities to develop their capabilities in presenting to an audience, e.g., voice projection, eye contact, expression -Develop curiosities about other ways to show their learning with others,e.g., iMovies, plays and speeches

Learning Observed

Mohammed  is buddy reading with Jona from  LH 2. This happens every Wednesday. The junior learners join the senior learners in LH5. We start off with talanoa in groups on the whariki on the floor and follow the protocols of talanoa. The learners then find a partner and they both take turns reading a familiar text to each other. We started this in Term 3 and when we gathered some student voice they all said they really enjoyed it and wanted it to continue. The learners really look forward to this each week. The older learners are great at clarifying signs or intonation for the younger learners. It is great for them to take on “the expert” role and see them nurturing the younger ones  along as they read.I have noticed that the older learners love to go back to our shared reading texts. They demonstrate how confident they are at using what was “new” vocab when we were first reading the books and developing our reading strategies. .You can see them explaining what the words mean and modelling asking questions related to the texts that they have experienced during our shared reading sessions The younger ones love it as they get to sit with the “big” learners and experience seeing them reading confidently and being excited about the text they are sharing.Maybe they are thinking.. “Here is a reader to aspire to.I can be be like them as I get older”.

Evidence of learning

Key Competencies/Vision Principles

Mohammed is displaying an increasing level of thinking, while using language symbols and text . He is connecting with a junior learner and sharing his expertise and enthusiasm in reading. He is demonstrating his capabilities and becoming the expert and teaching others

Next Learning Steps

select a different learner each time work a. prepare a text in advance video themselves  and their partner and review it together write a reflection of blog about buddy reading. discuss ads o group what reading strategies they see the younger learners using and what type of help/support they needed to give. set up a time when they could have turns reading to themselves in an audience situation as one of the weekly reading design activities.

Learning Area: Numeracy Narrative Assessment

Learning Observed

Mohammed is using place value materials and the white board table to record how he is solving a word problem requiring him to find the difference using two digit numbers. His WALHT is available on line in the LH1 design projected on to the screen in the learning habitat or he can access it on his personal iPad. It says that he is learning how to subtract 2 digit numbers using renaming. His problem stated that 89 people were in a race and 69 had finished so how many people still needed to complete the race.He worked with his group to highlight significant numbers and words that would  help him decide what type of maths operation and equation he needed to do. He drew a place  value house and used blocks signing/saying the renaming process and recording it on the table. This is not the first day he has worked on this. At the end of his previous lesson I asked how confident he was about doing this type of problem and he asked for further practice time with me. This is great seeing him advocate for himself after reflecting on his current ability to use renaming to solve the answer of this subtraction equation.

Key Competencies/Vision Principles

Mohammed  is displaying an increasing level of capability thinking, while using language symbols and text . He was contributing his ideas and showing he was  making  connections with previous knowledge involving basic facts to 20, place value and face value of numbers. He shows he can reflect and identify areas where he wants further practice improve and consolidate his capabilities.

Next Learning Steps

be able to work independently with a word problem requiring him to find the difference and use renaming and record in standard vertical format. take 1 ten and rename as ten ones and subtract the number without physically changing the ten block into 10 one blocks  and rely on his knowledge of basic facts to 20. eg 15-9= 6 be able to subtract  finding the difference with 3 digit number requiring renaming of hundreds as tens.

Learning Area: Science Narrative Learning story

Learning Observed

These learners were part of the “Mythbuster” group for iExperience in Weeks 6-10. They ”busted” the myths about everyday objects behaving in unusual ways. They were curious and explored the  physical and chemical reactions that caused the strange things to happen.They practiced writing up the phenomenon using a scientific experimental method developing their capabilities.  In week 10 they collaborated to form a  group and they had to make their own experiment, connect with other research available and come up with a hypothesis as what they expected to happen, do the experiment and reflect on the actual outcome. Following this they were required to make a presentation to an audience of learners. This included: the actual experiment, explanation of any changes they made, review of their hypothesis, present their digital recording of their work and field answers to questions. They managed their time well and were ready on time. Their experiment was about creating a shock using static electricity from a balloon, transferred to a plastic spoon wrapped in foil as a conductor. They were not prepared with materials for the day of their experiment. They relied on Mrs Patrick for the balloon and plastic fork. Mohammed brought the foil from home and Justin brought the plastic gloves. When they first tried the experiment, it appeared it wasn’t working but they had missed an important step. I asked them to read the procedure again and they realaised that they needed to touch the fork with the other hand’s finger. They were trying to rub the balloon on their hair and when I suggested rubbing faster on my top the reaction was a lot stronger. During the demonstration apparently they could get any shock. They probably needed a new balloon as the the original one was slightly soft and deflated. They didn’t try rubbing on their clothes. They called their experiment “Shocking Lightning”. Refer their slide show presentation.

Next Learning Steps

try out other experiments in a safe supervised manner explore where this scientific phenomenon is used in real life activities write a reflective blog post about your learning. Add a cross-section of comments from the other learners’ feedback during your presentation. encourage your family to go online and read your blogs. spend time ensuring all group members have a role during a presentation. create a schedule for group members regarding responsibility for bringing various items to contribute to the group’s experiment.
