Learning Area: iExplore: We Built This City

Learning Observed

Due to the high interest in building structures out of the magnetic shapes, we have embarked upon an iExplore learning adventure designing and constructing a city out of cardboard. Momo has worked thoughtfully throughout this project and was able to think of multiple designs for her building. She has worked with Alesha to construct her building and uses the word cylinder to describe her towers.

Evidence of learning

Momo is able to work with others to try out ideas for her building.

Key Competencies/Vision Principles

Momo shows that she can work Collaboratively with others toward a common goal (Participating and Contributing). She uses her creativity and Thinking skills to trial her ideas with the materials she has available and to describe the purpose of her building.In learning new vocabulary she is building her Capabilities in Using language, Symbols and text.

Next Learning Steps

Develop her ideas about the purpose of structures as she designs and constructs other structures. Can she describe her building using new or appropriate topic vocabulary? E.g. factory, apartment, skyscraper, offices etc...Can she show how her design includes modifications to suit the purpose of her building? E.g. one large space and a kitchen/storage area for a restaurant Develop problem solving skills in completing her structure i.e. how to bring all of her construction elements together
