Learning Observed

Aarav, Aryan, Aksh, Kah Jun, Ouryu, Ronav and Shreya were working on learning about compound words and contractions. The aim was to build our Capabilities with vocabulary in our writing. We started out with compound words Aryan made a connection when he released he has done this before in a previous lesson. When we moved on to contractions Shreya got excited because she said “The apostrophe replaces some of the letters in words like not. So ‘would not’ would be turned into ‘wouldn’t’”. Ronav and Ouryu learnt that when you put two words together you create a compound word. For example ‘book’ and ‘shelf’ makes ‘bookshelf’. Aksh and Aarav learnt that he is able to use the word don’t instead of do not. Kah Jun was very excited about the new learning. He said “I thought I couldn’t do this but I get it”.When we started we found that most thought an apostrophe was a comma. We learnt what it does and how to use it. The vision principles  that we were using were Capable and Connected. We used these because we were connecting with other learners about our work.
