Narrative Assessment - iExperience Soccer Skills


Learner: Melissa                   Learning Coach: Mr Hattie             Date: 21 July 2015
Learning Area: Learning Habitat two - iExperience
Learning Observed
For iExperience we are playing soccer. We are developing our capabilities in collaboration through team sports. In this session we were learning to pass the ball to a buddy and ‘Trap’ the ball. ‘Trapping’ is when you stop the ball rolling by placing your foot on top of the ball. This skill is to help gain control of the ball before you pass. Melissa in this session showed great capabilities. At the start of the session she struggled with this skill as it is a new skill that she was learning. But by the end of the session she was able to trap the ball for control and pass the ball to her buddy with the correct part of the her foot.

Key Competencies/Vision Principles
During this session Melissa was showing the Key Competency “Relating to others” as she was participating in a group activity with a person who may have picked up the skill either faster or slower than them. She had to help, encourage and work with her partner. Melissa was showing “Capabilities” as these skills were new to her and she had to develop them during the session. Also “Collaborative” was being shown as during the session she was working the whole time with a buddy.
Next Learning Steps
Melissa next learning steps are:
  • to use these new skills during a practical situation.
  • to be able to perform these skills while moving.

Literacy Narrative Assessment


Learner: Melissa                         Learning Coach: Mr Hattie                Date: 26 June 2015
Learning Area: Learning Habitat 2 - Literacy
Learning Observed
In literacy Melissa has been working really hard. In our lesson we were working on thinking of questions that we want to find out about our books. Melissa has been developing her capabilities with her reading and had been moved on to the Blue Level. This is moving her closer to the National Standards.  Melissa was reading about when Gran came to stay. Her question was “Will Gran help Ben paint the special box?” This was showing that she is able to be Curious. This is great to see as she is learning about our School Values. During the lesson she got very excited when she found out the answer to her question.

Next Learning Steps
Melissa’s next learning steps are:
  • ask questions about events and characters in a text.
  • Develop capabilities around talking about her text.
