Learning Observed & Key Competencies/Vision Principles
|
Today Sanish joined LH2 and LH4 learners to travel by bus to the Auckland Zoo. This trip was organised as part of our learning about animals - how we can help them and how they can help us.
The learners were greeted by some zookeepers when we arrived at the zoo. We had morning tea and then, with a zoo map in hand, began our journey around the zoo. The map was used frequently to help guide us around the zoo and Sanish liked to use his map reading skills to identify where we were and where we should go next (Using Language, Symbols and Text).
After visiting the tortoises and reptiles, we met up with John from Auckland Zoo. John took us into the Discovery and Learning centre where Sanish found out what the zoo does to look after the three Sumatran tigers that they have. John had a large black plastic container and Sanish learned that the tiger would be able to smell his scent if he touched it (Connected).
John then took us to the Vet Centre Viewing Gallery. Sanish learned that sometimes visitors can watch an operation take place, but today the windows were covered with curtains. Here we learned how humans can make life very difficult for some animals. Our plastic bags can be very dangerous to sea animals if they are swallowed.
After lunch, it was time for more exploring (Curious). Sanish enjoyed walking through the Meerkat tunnels, watching the playful orangutans and observing how gracefully the giraffes walk. Our day at the zoo went very quickly and there wasn’t even enough time to play on the playground! I’m sure that Sanish would love to come back again with his family to share his learning with them.

Next Learning Steps

Sanish has learned about what Auckland Zoo do to look after the many animals that they have. Some are even endangered. His next step could be to research an endangered animal to find out why it is endangered and what people are doing to help keep its species alive.

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.

Learning Observed
|
Throughout Term 1, Sanish has been learning to recognise high frequency words and ways to work out unfamiliar words. He completed a PM Benchmark Reading Assessment with me and read a Red Level 5 text. Sanish held the book correctly and maintained correct one-to-one matching between spoken and printed words. He answered all the comprehension questions accurately.
|
Evidence of learning
|
Sanish scored 99% on word accuracy with 1 errors and 4 self-correction. He used the pictures to try make sense of the story and realised that the story didn’t make sense when he pronounced a word incorrectly.
|
Key Competencies/Vision Principles
|
Sanish is developing his Capabilities in Reading and is starting to Think more about what he is reading to ensure that it makes sense. He is increasing his ability to recognise high frequency words (Using Language, Symbols and Text) and tries to Connect what he is reading to his own life experiences.
