Sign Ninja - Narrative Assessment May 2015

Learner:   Deesha  Learning Coach:    Caro    Date: 18th May

Learning Area: Literacy

Learning Observed

I was watching Desha reading the book ‘T-Shirts’ to herself and noticed that she seemed to be signing as well. She looked up at me and proudly said “I know lots of sign colours” I asked her if she knew the sign for T-Shirts, she didn’t know the sign, so we checked the NZSL Website to find the correct sign.  Deesha then read the book and used all the signs correctly for the colours and for t-shirt.

Key Competencies/Vision Principles

Deesha was using the Key Competency of Language, Symbols and Texts when she read the book and used the signs for colours.She was Curious about sign language and was able to use the new sign I taught her while she read me the book T-Shirts. Deesha was able to Connect her prior knowledge of colours and their signs to the story she was reading. Watching Deesha using her Capabilities in English and Sign,  I wonder if she uses sign at home?

Narrative Assessment - Mathematics - 11 May 2015

Learner: Deesha, Raymond and Jessica   Learning Coach: Miriam Kamsteeg       Date:  11 May 2015

Learning Area: Mathematics - Numeracy

Learning Observed

Today I gave each Learner 12 fruit pieces and asked them to count them. Deesha and Raymond were able to count their pieces of fruit to 12. Jessica went … 5, 6, 8, 9….13. Next I asked them to look at a number line of numbers 1-10 and asked them to point to various numerals in random order. Jessica recognised number 1 and Raymond and Jessica were able to recognise all the numerals.

Evidence of learning

Deesha and Raymond were able to one-to-one count to 12. I wonder how much further they can count with the correct sequence? Jessica was able to count to 6 accurately. I wonder if she can count past 6 in Punjabi?

Key Competencies/Vision Principles

Raymond, Deesha and Jessica continuing to develop their Capabilities in Numeral knowledge and one-to-one counting. They are sequencing numbers in their head (Thinking). Jessica, Raymond and Deesha are learning how to read numerals (Using Language, Symbols and Texts).
