iExperience narrative


Learners: Samara   Habitat: LH1         Learning Coach: R. Moopanar        Date: 5.05.17
Learning Area: iExperience - Art  Key Competency: Participating and Contributing
Learning Observed
This term our focus is on how we can be connected citizens. In order to launch this the learners participated in a connected road safety activity where they collaboratively explored and brainstormed ideas about Bike safety. The lasting understanding from this iExperience was that we can be connected in a variety of ways and display these connections by predicting and processing what could happen if we don’t follow instructions on bike safety from the checklist. It was great to see the learners supporting each other in being curious and deciding what how to colour in and to hear them describe their posters as an example of how we can recall and connect with others.  All of the learners displayed their capabilities by working independently on their own poster and designs. The posters can be seen displayed in the learner’s  iExperience books.

iExperience narrative


Learner: Samara  Habitat: LH1     Learning Coach: R. Moopanar        Date: 14.02.17
Learning Area: iExperience - Art  Key Competency: Participating and Contributing
Learning Observed
This term our focus is on how we can be collaborative citizens. In order to launch this the learners participated in a collaborative Art project where the NZC Achievement Objective was to share the ideas, feelings, and stories communicated by their own and others’ objects and images. The lasting understanding from this iExperience was that we can be collaborative in a variety of ways and display these collaborations by asking for help from other learners, learning coaches,  families or experts.  It was a great initial activity for the learners to connect with each other while creating a collaborative product.  The students helped to brainstorm ideas of what it ‘looks like’ to be collaborative.  They then used the brainstorm ideas to create their own pictures/symbols/icons to create a collaborative poster on “The Yin Fire Chicken”.  It was great to see them supporting each other in being curious and deciding what to draw and to hear them describe their picture as an example of how we can connect with others. Samara can use the word ‘Collaborative’ and understands what it means. All of the learners displayed their capabilities by working independently on their own pictures and designs but towards a team result.  The artwork can be seen displayed in LH1.
