Learning Observed
|
Language features, e.g. similes, are used to give our writing impact. A simile is when a person or object is compared with another object by using the word ‘as’ or ‘like’. Sanish has been learning how to use a simile in his writing. The Black Gibbons worked together to brainstorm some similes, then I invited them to use similes to describe the colours of the rainbow.
Sanish participated in the group brainstorm and discussion, then used some of the ideas from our brainstorm to create his own poetic piece about rainbows. After writing his draft, he then proceeded to publish his writing and illustrate it; using the correct colours and sequencing as in a rainbow.

Key Competencies/Vision Principles
|
Sanish is demonstrating that he is:
Collaborative - sharing his ideas with his hapu group during a brainstorm session about rainbow colours.
Capable - identifying the most suitable object to compare with most of the rainbow colours in his similes.
Using Language, Symbols and Text - taking care to copy the information from his draft when publishing his work. The size and shape of most letters are formed correctly.

Learning Observed

Sanish and Skyla have been working on matching the numbers 1-10 with the words. I gave them this wordfind to do together so that they could try to support each other with the learning.
With some support, they organised themselves with a whiteboard pen and a quiet space to complete the activity. Sanish required some extra support to focus on the activity and remain motivated to complete it.
|
Evidence of learning
|
Sanish and Skyla found all the words and were pleased with their efforts.
|
Key Competencies/Vision Principles
|
Sanish and Skyla collaborated together to complete the activity. With some support, they were able to manage themselves for learning by getting the equipment (whiteboard pen and duster) and find a quiet spot so that they were not disturbed.
They were connecting what they knew about words and letter sounds to find the number words in the wordfind.
