Narrative Assessment Term 2 - Math
Learner: Jeffa Learning Coach: Abby Morgan Date: 12 June 2015
|
Learning Area: Math
|
Learning Observed
|
During our Math workshops Jeffa has been developing his ability to add two groups of numbers together. Before beginning our new learning Jeffa was counting the objects from one to solve equations. As we have progressed he has developed new skills. Today during Math he was using beans and cups to solve equations using numbers from ten. Jeffa was able to place ten beans in one cup and remember this number while counting on the remaining beans. As you can see in the video when he was asked to solve 10+4 he remembered that there were ten beans in the first cup and counted on.This is an important tool to help Jeffa solve addition problems with ease. As we completed more activities around this he was able to develop his speed in solving these equations.

Shadow Puppets
Learner: Jeffa Learning Coach: Luisa Maloni Date: 5th June, 2015
|
Learning Area: iExplore: Shadow Puppets
|
Learning Observed
|
We have been looking at shadow theatre on Youtube. We watched a shadow dance and shadow puppets with hands and with paper cut outs. We started by sharing some of the knowledge we have already about shadow puppets and then thought of some questions we had about them. Jeffa was able to share some of the handshapes he knew to make a shadow puppet with a partner and then to the whole group. Then he shared a question he wanted to find out about shadow theatre- Ash said she could make a bird with her hands and Jeffa said “How?”
|
Evidence of learning
|
Jeffa shares his knowledge and questions with the group. I wonder if he likes to ask questions at home?
|
Key Competencies/Vision Principles
|
Jeffa can Connect with what he already knows about Shadow Puppets and can Collaborate through sharing ideas and building new knowledge from others (Thinking, Relating to Others, Using Language, Symbols and Text). He extends his thinking by asking a question that he is Curious about.

I completed the JOST Assessment (Junior Oral Language Screening Tool) with Jeffa. It was great that he was able to correctly identify 10 of the 12 body parts that were shown to him on the picture. He also knew the names of more than 7 animals - all from z the zoo. Jeffa was also able to tell me the functions of all the body parts asked for; ears, eyes, nose, and mouth. He also has sound knowledge of verbs and prepositions (in, on, beside, behind etc). Jeffa enjoyed telling me what about what was happening in the picture.
