Math Clapping Narrative

Learner: Shubi, Navnoor, Riya and Sameeha           Learning Coach: Mr Hattie          Date: 8 June 2016

Learning Area: Learning Habitat 1 - iDevelop

Learning Observed

In Learning Habitat One the learners are getting more choice over the independent learning tasks that they are able to do during iDevelop. Today I observed Shubi, Navnoor, Riya and Sameeha playing a clapping game. My first thought was that they were off task and I moved over to them to direct them to a more meaningful task when I heard what they were actually doing. They had been taught this clapping game in a Mathematics Workshop by Mrs Patrick which was for practicing their skip counting in a fun way. From the group I over heard laughing, correct skip-counting, self correcting, and mentoring of others when they were unsure of the next part of the pattern. This is perfect evidence of innovative learning. They were engaged and enjoying their learning. During this game Shubi and Navnoor were using their Capabilities by helping others complete the pattern when they got stuck. Riya was showing Collaboration as she the game was a game that had to be done with partners and she discussed with the others about the next series of numbers. Sameeha was showing Connection because she talked about how skip counting was a lot like multiplication.

Next Learning Steps

Shubi, Navnoor, Riya and Sameeha’s next learning steps are: Practice basic multiplication facts Skip count backwards from 100 in 2’s, 3’s, and 5s. Instantly recall basic multiplication facts.

Sameeha's Honey Bee Learning Story

Learner: Sameeha Learning Coach: T.Dillner           Date: 3.3.16

Learning Area: iExperience - Science          Key Competency: Participating & Contributing

Learning Observed

During iExperience in Week 5, the learners were able to opt in to Sustainability related sessions. Sameeha chose to learn more about Honey Bees and why it is necessary to care for them on a global scale. She learned about reasons why global bee populations are decreasing and how this connects to the foods we eat. We also looked at the products that bees provide for us e.g. honey. There were 10 bee related challenges that the learners could choose from. All of the activities required them to demonstrate curiosity. One challenge was to use a recipe that included honey as an ingredient. We made Crunchy Banana Pops. Sameeha had to cover a frozen banana with honey and then roll it in Rice Bubbles and sprinkles. Afterwards, she gave her Crunchy Banana Pop a rating out of 10 and discussed reasons for this.

Next Learning Steps

Consider undertaking an iExplore to do with planting a bee friendly garden to help increase the number of bees in our school environment. Alternatively, look at how you could plant bee friendly plants at home. Make Crunchy Banana Pops at home using different toppings - describe how bees helped make the ingredients.
