Learning Observed

During iExperience we have been exploring different Olympic sports. Evie and some of her peers were particularly interested in rhythmic gymnastics so they started exploring it in the morning. They were practising with balls, ribbons and hula hoops. They used their iExplore time to get better and better and performed how to be “Capable Movers” in Hui using their rhythmic gymnastics. Evie represented New Zealand and came dressed in her Maori outfit.

Evidence of learning

Key Competencies/Vision Principles

Evie is developing her Capabilities in Rhythmic Gymnastics. She was able to Collaborate with her peers to create a mini gymnastics performance to present at hui. Evie took something she enjoyed learning about in iExperience and started exploring it further in iExplore, extending her own learning (Managing Self, Participating and Contributing). Evie and her peers were Thinking about what moves they could do with the different props and how they could combine them all together (Relating to Others). Evie represented New Zealand by wearing her Maori outfit, showing her Connections to her Maori roots.

Next Learning Steps

Learning Area: iDevelop - Writing

Learning Observed

Evie was very engaged and focused with her writing today. She was determined to finish her story about the Olympic games and was very proud of her effort when she had finished. Evie wrote a page long story about the Olympic games beginning and how she wonders what it would feel like to win a gold medal.

Evidence of learning

Evie has been writing a detailed story about the Olympics. I wonder what sport Evie would compete in?

Key Competencies/Vision Principles

Evie is developing her Capabilities in writing. She was able to sit down by herself and independently write a story about the olympics (Managing Self). Evie sounded out and wrote all unfamiliar words without any support and wrote most high frequency words correctly (Using Language, Symbols and Text). She was engaged in the lesson modelling how to write a creative story like this and was asking a lot of relevant questions that supported both hers and her peers learning (Participating and Contributing). Evie was Thinking about what to write and how to express herself in her story and she did a really good job of putting in her thoughts, feelings and wonderings like she was required to.
