Collaboration Tower Narrative Assessment

Learner: Shreya                      Learning Coach:  Mr Hattie               Date: 28 July 2015

Learning Area: Developmental Collaboration

Learning Observed

This term at Ormiston Primary we are promoting Collaboration. We have been teaching the skills required to collaborate effectively. Today I was called over to see a group’s creation. To my surprise they had made a Tower the size of them. It had a repeating pattern the whole way up and was built collaboratively. Shreya explained to me how they had made the pattern and what the parts on the side were for. The language that had come out of the description of tower included topic specific words and who made what part. She was very excited about the tower and how tall it was. She described that it was like the Sky tower and wanted to find out about other tall structures. The skills that were required for this project were teamwork, communication of who does what, discussion of the ongoing pattern and respect. It was impressive to see how they had come up with this tower. A totally self motivated project. Well done Shreya!

Evidence of learning

The Groups end product. Very impressive.

Key Competencies/Vision Principles

The Key Competencies used for this project are “thinking” as the group had to think about what they were going to make with the materials that they had. Also Collaboration was used with this project. The learners had delegated jobs and what they were responsible for and there was discussion during this time. “Relating to others” was being used as they had to show respect for others and their ideas to achieve their task.

Next Learning Steps

Shreya’s next learning steps are: more complex description of her project. writing about her project and how she created it.
