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.
