Learning Observed

This week the learners got to have an interesting experience. They had to work collaboratively while exploring and experiencing play with a tyre. This is part of a way that we can spark some interesting discussions and writing around a real life experience while gaining new vocabulary. Taj was with his group and discussing the different ways that he and his group could move the tyre. They were very excited and the new vocabulary that came out of this was great to hear. Taj was very excited and wanted to talk all about the tyres at his home and how his dad's car has the same tyres. It was great to see Taj comparing the tyre that he had to the cars in the car park.

Shadow Puppets
Learner: Taj 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. Taj was able to share some of the handshapes he knew to make a shadow puppet with a partner and then to the whole group. He said he can make a shadow spider with his hands.
|
Evidence of learning
|
   
Taj shares his knowledge with the group. I wonder if he likes to ask questions at home?
|
Key Competencies/Vision Principles
|
Taj 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).
