Nishita & Sara's Rugby Learning Story

Learners: Nishita & Sara Learning Coach: T.Dillner           Date: 5.5.16

Learning Area: Physical Education           Key Competency: Participating and Contributing, Relating to Others

Learning Observed

For PE, LH1 learners were focussing on passing a rugby ball with the correct techniques. We focused on how to place our hands on the ball, how to position our arms and how to aim. The learners then needed to pair up and take turns to practice passing the ball through a hoop. Samantha and Aditi collaborated with positive attitudes. They took some time to practise their techniques and support each other with reminders of what the success criteria were. They made an effort to ensure they weren’t rushing, and making sure that they were 100% comfortable with these skills before moving on to the next step of their capability (making the hoop a moving target by lifting it up and down).

Next Learning Steps

Remember that a rugby pass is across the body, starting from the hip farthest away from the target. Practise passing through the hoop from a greater distance.

Fraction Narrative

Learner: Sereya, Nishita, Melissa    Learning Coach: Mr Hattie           Date: 30 March 2016

Learning Area: Learning Habitat 1 - Mathematics

Learning Observed

In Maths we are looking at finding fractions out of materials. Today we were focusing on quarters. Sereya, Nishita and Melissa had to make 4 even groups with the counters. We looked at a range of different amounts. There were many different levels of Capabilities when we broke off into groups. But Sereya, Nishita and Melissa did well to Collaborate and figure out how to solve the problems. They used equal sharing to arrange the counters into the correct amounts. I was very impressed with how well Sereya, Nishita and Melissa worked today, this has been something that we have been working on for a while and we have successfully achieved it.

Next Learning Steps

Sereya, Nishita and Melissa next learning steps are to: Use skip counting to solve equal sharing. Find basic fractions from a specific amount using imaging. Order fractions with the same denominator.

Momo, Melissa & Nishita's Mars Rover Learning Story

Learners: Melissa, Momo & Nishita Learning Coach: T.Dillner           Date: 07.03.16

Learning Area: iExperience - Space                Key Competency: Thinking

Learning Observed

The learners had six activities to choose from to extend their knowledge about Space. Melissa, Momo & Nishita chose to take part in one that required problem solving and thinking skills. They had the option to make either a Mars Rover or a Satellite and picked to do the Mars Rover. With the provided materials, Melissa, Momo & Nishita had to make a connection between their own version and the image that was shown on the screen. The girls showed curiosity by using the materials in specific ways and both tried to use as much detail as possible in their creation. They collaborated by sharing ideas and possible ways to overcome issues, ultimately being very pleased with their final product.

Aditi, Sameeha, Alysia, Nishita & Melissa's Connected Challenge Learning Story

Learners: Aditi, Sameeha, Alysia, Nishita & Melissa     Learning Coach: T.Dillner           Date: 5.2.16

Learning Area: iExperience - Relating to Others

Learning Observed

This term our focus is on how we can be connected citizens. To introduce this, the Learning Coaches set up a series of challenges for the learners to complete. Each challenge was worth a different amount of points and the teams had to work together to get the highest amount to win. One task was to get all team members to cross the ‘Nile River’ (the width of one netball court) using only three hoops. Aditi, Sameeha, Alysia, Nishita & Melissa had to discuss ways to make this work before attempting it. They needed to think about how their words, actions, attitudes and ideas impacting the success of the team. Each learner was able to act in a collaborative way in order to achieve the joint goal of crossing the ‘river’. They were capable of devising a method to connect their strengths and remain safe from the Nile Crocodiles!

Next Learning Steps

Swap roles so other members of the team retrieve or replace the hoops. Make a point to do some iDevelop learning with one of their team members and build this relationship.
