Learning Area: Literacy     Vision Principle: Capable & Connected         Date: Term 3&4

Learning Observed

Rohullah began blogging in Term 3.  His blog has various posts on a diverse range of topics and he also has a number of comments from his blog buddy and other classmates.  We spent time learning to write quality comments using a ‘comment sandwich’ and Rohullah is developing his capability to do this on his blog buddy’s blog and thus connect authentically with other learners.  Rohullah’s posts are evidence of how he connects with the things in which he enjoys, whether at home or at school.  He has learned to embed images into his posts which enhance their readability.  Rohullah has enjoyed reading our Learning Habitat 1 blog as well and collaborating to construct some posts with his hapu group.  It has been fantastic to review Rohullah’s posts since the beginning of term 3 to see how his capability at writing is improving. Some posts of interest were his ‘Family vs Friends’ and 'Clash of Clans' posts because his passion and values are evident. I would now encourage Rohullah to co-construct blog posts over the holidays with his family and continue to visit his classmates blogs and leave comments.
