Karleil 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, Karleil 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!
Karleil 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.

Literature Circle Learning Story - Verbs group


Learner:   Karleil (Verbs)                                                                      Date: June 2015
Learning Area: Literacy                                         Learning Coach: Diana Wilkes               
Learning Observed
All learners require literacy skills in order to be contributors and active participants in society. We believe that learners must study, use and enjoy language and literature when communicated orally, visually or in writing.  We have been working really hard this term to learn how to have a ‘Book Club’ in literacy iDevelop.  We began by learning about how to select and why to select a ‘Best Fit’ book- please ask Karleil what book he is reading and how he knows it is a best fit on a regular basis.  He learned all about the 5 finger strategy to help him choose.  The Verbs group was also introduced to an online book resource called http://booktrackclassroom.com to which he has an account. In our Literature Circle each learner has a different role each week:  Summariser, Literary Luminary, Word Wizard, Discussion Director, Connector, Artful Artist or Researcher which ensures that the book club runs smoothly.  Karleil was a great word Wizard and has improved the amount of content he can contribute.  He is developing confidence at sharing in our meetings and has been well prepared for some of our meetings.  He participates and contributes in the discussions with prompting.
