Learning Area: Maths - Measurement                                Learning Coach: John Dyer

Learning Observed

Lim Hor was recently working as part of a big group on a measurement task. He first applied his previous measurement learning experiences to this task and approximated sensibly. Lim Hor then collaborated when measuring a variety of wooden rods. These were used to measure the length and width of a room. Lim Hor was able to use his place value knowledge when converting centimetres to metres and then multiplication skills to see how many times each rod fitted across the room. It was good to see Lim Hor being both an active listener and offering ideas for how the problem could be solved.

Evidence of learning

Lim Hor carefully wondering how to estimate and measure using non-standard units of length… and wondering why he ended up with the small stick!

Learning Observed

All learners require literacy skills in order to be contributors and active participants in society. We believe that learners must study, use and enjoy language and literature when communicated orally, visually or in writing.  We have been working really hard this term to learn how to have a ‘Book Club’ in literacy iDevelop.  We began by learning about how to select and why to select a ‘Best Fit’ book- please ask them what book they are reading and how they knows it is a best fit on a regular basis.  Kimba-Jo, Christian and Lim Hor  are new to the Habitat and have been learning how our ‘book club’ works.  The Verbs group was introduced to an online book resource called http://booktrackclassroom.com which they can access anytime online. In our Literature Circle each learner has a different role each week:  Summariser, Literary Luminary, Word Wizard, Discussion Director, Connector, Artful Artist or Researcher which ensures that the book club runs smoothly.  They are developing confidence at sharing in our meetings and contribute in the discussions with prompting.
