Learning Observed
|
The learners are beginning learning in the area of animal habitats, adaptations and survival needs in preparation for our trip to the zoo. During the session the learners began to build their scientific language and develop their ability to communicate in science. In matching the animals to different continents Markus & Alex began to recognise that living things are suited to their particular habitat, Brooklyn really enjoyed this activity. They can recognise that all living things have certain requirements so they can stay alive. While learning the continent song, they actively participated and could sign and say the names of all of the continents. They could also identify them on a world map. Brooklyn, Alex and Markus can define what the word habitat means and they can state which continent certain animals are found eg. panda in Asia, giraffe in Africa

Key Competencies/Vision Principles
|
The three of them were enthusiastically engaged in all aspects of the lesson participating and contributing while demonstrating strong collaboration with each other. They asked each other for help and didn’t hesitate to check for understanding with other learners or the learning coaches. During the matching activity I observed some good questioning and problem solving strategies. While some of the animals were matched incorrectly to the continents, they persevered to get it correct showing a strong desire to develop their capability in this area. They are able to make connections between what a habitat is to an animal and what a habitat is to humans drawing on new learning and prior knowledge.
