Narrative Assessment - Swimming

Learner:  Helen	Learning Coach:  Mrs Croll	Date: 15.10.17
Learning Area:   Health & Physical Education NZC Achievement Objective: Level 3 - Movement Concepts & Motor Skills Develop more complex movement sequences and strategies in a range of situations. Develop movement skills in challenging situations and describe how these challenges impact on themselves and others.		4C:
Key Competency:    Thinking Relating to others Participating & Contributing Using language, symbols & text
Learning Observed: Throughout Term 3, Helen was participating in a community swimming programme.  Each week we took a bus to the Otara Leisure Centre where Helen and her group learned a variety of swimming techniques and water safety. Over the weeks, Helen continued to gain confidence and improve her swimming capabilities.  She listened carefully to instructions, was keen to show her swimming instructor what she could do and get feedback.  By the end of the of the term, I noticed an improvement in Helen’s leg kick and her confidence in the water.                                       Helen was also a keen participator in several games that the learners played in the pool.  These games help to provide the learners with confidence to dive and put their face under the water. In one session, Helen joined in with the whole group to learning about water safety.  She wore a life jacket and worked as a team to form a circle, then kick together to safety.   These skills will be very important for Helen should she find herself in the water while out boating. Helen also learned how to do the ‘pin drop’ and roll backwards into the water from the side of the pool - all important life saving skills.   Each week, the 30 minute swimming experience went by very quickly and soon it was not long before all the learners were out of the pool and back on the bus, to OrmPS.
Next Learning Steps: Use a board to support flotation while practising freestyle arms. Think about strong, straight legs when kicking for freestyle and backstroke. Visit a pool with family and friends; taking the opportunity to practise and share all that she has learned during this swimming programme.

Key Competencies: Understanding Language, symbols and text. Learning Coach Author: Mrs Gernhoefer Date: Term 1, 2017

Helen has been learning about Maori Myths and Legends in iExperience. The learning coaches took her through the differences between a Myth and Legend. Her learning coach read the book “Hinepau” to the class. Helen's task was to listen to the story and draw inspiration from it in order to draw a picture based on the story “Hinepau”. This task encourages her to make connections between the text and knowledge of drawing. After listening to the story, Helen was inspired to draw a volcano. She showed her capabilities in drawing by adding beautiful Koru patterns to it to represent smoke coming out of the volcano. She also used the weaving theme of the iExperience in her drawing by drawing a weaving pattern on the volcano. (A picture of the volcano from the story)

Next Step: Helen’s next step is to colour in her picture. After she colours her picture she is going to cut her picture into strips so that she can weave. The end result will look similar to the picture below.
