Learning Observed
In Literacy for reading, we have been learning to think about the author’s point of view and to find proof in the text to support our answers. The Purple group are learning to demand meaning from the text that they read and begin to make inferences.  Ayod is beginning to use the text to help support his answers. He is sharing his ideas with other learners around him. Once learners finish their activities, the Purple group then sit together and discuss their answers. We know that this helps develop our understanding and learning by collaborating with others.

Learning Area: iExplore - Sunsmart      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 iExplore on Being Sunsmart where they collaboratively explored and brainstormed ideas about what being sunsmart is all about. The lasting understanding from this iExplore was that we can be connected in a variety of ways and display these connections by predicting and processing what the steps are in beings sunsmart. It was great to see the learners supporting each other in being curious and deciding how to be sunsmart and  hear them describe their ways of being sunsmart as an example of how we can recall and connect with others.  All of the learners displayed their capabilities by working with a buddy on their own sunsmart presentation. The presentations can be found on the learner’s Google Drive.
