Hamish & Rudi's Learning Story - Read to Someone/Listen to Reading

Learners: Hamish & Rudi    Learning Coach: T.Dillner           Date: 18.2.16

Learning Area: iDevelop - Reading

Learning Observed

As part of our Reading programme in LH1, the learners have been learning about the parts of the Daily 5. This covers a range of activities to enhance capabilities in Literacy. Hamish and Rudi were spending time reading to one another. This is one aspect of the Daily 5 where learners sit elbow to elbow and knee to knee in order to best communicate to one another. They took turns at reading and listening, following along with the text and pictures. Hamish and Rudi selected their own books by practicing how to connect the parts of the ‘I Pick’ method - What is the purpose of this book? Is the book interesting? Can I understand/comprehend what is happening? Do I know all the words or are there some that are tricky?

Yuvika, Lohit, Rudi, Disha & Carlo- iExperience Connected Challenge Learning Story

Learners:  Yuvika, Lohit, Rudi, Disha & Carlo    Learning Coach: D Wilkes          Date: 5.2.16

Learning Area: iExperience - Connected Challenge   Key Competency: Relating to Others

Learning Observed

This term our focus is on how we can be connected citizens. In order to launch this the learners participated in a ‘Connected Challenge’ (see below).  In this challenge Yuvika, Lohit, Rudi, Disha and Carlo worked in a team and collaborated on various connected tasks.  They first had to look at the challenge and devise a plan- which tasks would they do first?!  It was great to see the group negotiate and select their options.  Yuvika showed some real leadership in this task- especially considering that there are so many new relationships forming in LH1.  Carlo and Rudi got straight into their tasks showing their capabilities and Lohit and Disha showed curiosity while asking questions about the tasks.  Some of the tasks they worked on included- the Curious challenge- coming up with questions for the learning coaches, the Connected challenge- writing an acrostic for the word connected and the Connected task of making a paper chain.  There was some great strategy and collaboration in this team- Ka Pai!
