Narrative Assessment - Writing - 31 March 2016

Learner:  Deesha              Learning Coach:   Megan Croll                Date:   31 March 2016

Learning Area: Writing

Learning Observed

The Learners in our Learning Habitat had a visit from ‘Little Bo Peep’ and her farm animals.  The Learners had an opportunity to visit the ‘farm’ to touch, brush and learn about the different animals.   For our writing assessment, Deesha was invited to write about her ‘farm’ visit.  She was encouraged to participate in a group discussion and to think about all the animals that she saw, and to use her senses to describe what she had seen, smelt, heard and touched.   Deesha was given time to plan for her writing and then write about her ideas.

Evidence of learning

Deesha wrote about the sheep, cow and horse.  She used words to describe how the animal felt (sheep), sounded (cow) and what it was doing (horse).  Deesha used the initial letter sound to try spelling ‘soft’.  She is using a capital letter to start a sentence and ends with a full stop.

Key Competencies/Vision Principles

Deesha was supported to collaborate with others during the brainstorm and was encouraged to think about the ‘farm’ visit.   She connected with her personal experience and used this to help form her ideas for writing. With some support, Deesha was able to work by herself to plan for her writing and write a sentence (Managing Self).   Deesha is forming most of her letters correctly and listens to the sounds they make when recording them (Using language, symbols and text).

Next Learning Steps

Break ideas into simple and compound sentences Learn and include more high frequency words Correctly write upper and lowercase letters, especially the lettr ‘t’.
