Arnav has been working on upskilling himself in mathematical knowledge. This has involved playing a range of games with others in his maths group. In this photo, Arnav is using a range of addition, subtraction, multiplication and division strategies to reach a range of target numbers. He enjoys playing against his friends and enjoys it even more when he beats them!
Arnav has a good grasp of doubling and halving which he used to good effect in this game. He is more confident adding numbers together and is growing in confidence when using a variety of the other three operations.

Arnav's Mathematics Narrative Assessment
Arnav's Music Learning Story
Learner: Ved, Arnav and Shivran
Learning Coach: T.Dillner Date: 2.6.15

Learning Area: The Arts - Music

Learning Observed

The Keas Hapu group have been learning about the features that we use to make music.
They were introduced to the formal language of Tempo, Dynamics and Rhythm. After three sessions, Ved, Arnav and Shivran chose to work together in a group to collaboratively write three lots of four beats (rhythm), that had a change in volume (dynamics) and speed (tempo). The learners needed to record their patterns using correct musical notes to show timing and the correct Italian terms to show where the dynamics and tempo changed.
The boys then had an opportunity to share this with the Keas and demonstrate their understanding of the three features of music. They used clapping to show these patterns.

Key Competencies/Vision Principles
|
All three boys worked collaboratively to share their thinking and formulate their pattern (Participating and Contributing). By standing up and giving a short presentation, they demonstrated their capability in understanding these three features of music.
When we talked about Dynamics and Tempo, the learners were making connections with new vocabulary. They had to make sense of words and symbols in the traditional language of music - Italian (Using Language, Symbols and Texts).

Learning Observed

The BFGs WALHT for the week was learning how to read with clarity and expression. The group chose to do the reader’s theatre story “The Ant and the Grasshopper”. They read the script separately and then together they chose their roles. The group practice by themselves for two sessions and then performed in front of a learning coach to be given feedback. The feedback they were given was to ensure their volume was loud enough for each member of the group to hear so they knew when it was their turn to read. Once the group has practiced again they read in front of a camera.

These learners were working on their capability to read out loud with expression. They also had to ensure they were working collaboratively so all of the members of the group could hear when it was their turn to read. The group showed their ability to manage self as they had to read along and not be distracted so they knew when it was their turn to read.

Learning Observed

During iExperience this term with the Strategic Leadership Team (SLT), we have been learning how to use movement and space to effectively communicate. The lasting understanding is that people represent their culture and heritage in different dramatic ways- past and present. Learners had a variety of opportunities to explore the use of space, props and their body for communicating different ideas. Shivran, Arnav and Aniq worked together to use dramatic techniques to explore drama elements and conventions and exhibited enthusiasm for performing. When asked to initiate and develop ideas with others to create dramatic 1 minute skit about a culture, the group selected Indian culture. They generated many ideas of what to perform. They used props well and had a lot of fun, however the overall performance was rough.

All members of this team demonstrated that they can work Collaboratively with others towards a common goal.Together they exemplified Capabilities in following complex instructions however, they barely met the success criteria. Together they were able to make Connections between what they knew collectively about the culture and how to express that with movement, no sound and imaginary props.
