Narrative Assessment - Writing - 31 March 2016

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

Learning Area: Writing

Learning Observed

Our Learning Habitat had recently 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, Jenny was invited to write about her ‘farm’ visit.  She was encouraged to think about all the animals that she saw, and to use her senses to describe what she had seen, smelt, heard and touched.   Jenny planned her writing with a detailed picture and included several ideas in her writing.    She used a capital letter to start her sentence, sounded out the initial letter and spelt a few high frequency words correctly.   Jenny used the word ‘but’ to compare the way she felt about the donkey and the rabbit.

Evidence of learning

Key Competencies/Vision Principles

Jenny was supported to collaborate with others during the brainstorm when she was thinking about the ‘farm’ visit.   She connected to her personal experience and used this to help form her ideas for writing. Jenny was able to work by herself to plan and complete her writing (Managing Self).   She is forming her letters correctly and listens to the sounds they make when recording them (Using language, symbols and text).

Next Learning Steps

Learn more high frequency words, e.g. some, were, more Use capital letters correctly Independently use word cards to help support spelling
