Writing: Figure of Speech

Learner: Samara
Area:Writing Level 2
Date: 20.03.18 
In Writing, we have been learning to use figurative language like: personification and similes to create more complex ideas. We have been learning to draw a picture in our readers mind, so they understand what we are trying to share.

Samara has been developing her skills by collaborating with other learners. She shows her capability by sharing her ideas with other learners in her group. Samara uses her curiosity to ask questions and make connections with her prior knowledge to further her understanding.

Key Competencies: Managing Self Thinking Relating to others Participating and Contributing and through the use of digital tools - using language, symbols and texts 

Next Steps: 
Continue using similes and personification in your writing
Reflect on your learning and think of how you can improve

Art: Samara and Sketching


Learner: Samara 
Area: Art - Visual Arts Level 2 
Date: 20.02.18 
In Art, some of the learners have been learning about drawing from their own perspective and what they can see. The learners chose a specific place inside the playground and had to sketch what they saw. We were practising sketching with different lines and looking at different shapes as well as shading. It was not an easy task but learners did try their best. 

Samara has been practicing her capability by trying hard to draw from her point of view and what she saw. She showed curiosity by looking for the best place that suited her in the playground. Samara was able to work collaboratively with others by sharing space helping others if asked. She is beginning to make connections and use techniques already learned to help her with her learning.

Key Competencies: Managing Self Thinking Relating to others Participating and Contributing and through the use of digital tools - using language, symbols and texts 

Next Steps: Practice sketching only what you see, practice shading, continue to look at objects from your point of view and interpret what you see

iExperience


Learners: Samara & Zivashtine                                      Habitat: LH1       
Learning Coach: R. Moopanar                            Date: 19.10.17
Learning Area: iExperience - ICT     Key Competency: Participating and Contributing
Learning Observed
This term our focus is on how we can be capable citizens. In order to launch this the learners participated in a capable google presentation creation where they collaboratively explored and brainstormed ideas about Diwali. 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 the steps are in the creation of a google presentation. It was great to see the learners supporting each other in being curious and deciding what how to create the presentation and  hear them describe their presentation 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 google presentation. The presentations can be seen in the learner’s  Google drive.
