Mihi Learning Story - August 2015

Learner: Lim Hor                                                                Learning Coach: D Wilkes

Learning Area: Maori Animals & mihi                                  Date: Term 3

Learning Observed

This term our overarching theme has been collaboration and Lim Hor has had plenty of opportunities to show how collaborative he is and to grow his collaboration capability.  To kick the term off Lim Hor was on a team of learners who had to collaborate to complete various challenges.  During Maori Language week the learners rotated through different experiences to extend their knowledge of Maori words and phrases. Lim Hor was able to practice  vocabulary of animals in Maori using an online game. He also began to think about his digital mihi and visited his Learning Pathway.  He still needs to show his learning of the words and phrases by applying them his own mihi. Lim Hor would approach the Learning Coach to ask questions and clarify ideas and had fun playing the animal game.

Key Competencies/Vision Principles

Lim Hor was enthusiastically engaged in all aspects of the lesson participating and contributing while demonstrating strong collaboration with others. At times, he asked for help and didn’t hesitate to check for understanding with other learners. During the animal activity I observed some good questioning and problem solving strategies eg. some animals sound the same in English and Maori. As his mihi is not complete he will need to persevere to get it done to show a strong desire to develop his capability in this area. He is able to make connections to what should be in his digital mihi in Maori- drawing on new learning and prior knowledge.

Learning Area: Literacy                                         Learning Coach:Diana Wilkes

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.
