soangel Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 What about grocery shopping and reading or writing the grocery list? Reading the menu at a restaurant. Going to the library. Reading street signs, store signs. Following song lyrics in a song book, at church. I used some of those as examples for how teachers need to communicate with parents to get grasp of the literacy experiences children are engaged in (one of the studys I referenced involved researchers giving parents disposal cameras to take photos of the children engaged in literacy and numeracy activities, and things like that came back) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nico_collard Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 Oh my gosh, I had 5 in highschool, what is wrong with NSW? They make you go for an extra year AND make you do more classes?   Me either  I was going to say SD does extension subjects... but seems she's already explained it...  I've finished the first half of my critique (the numeracy half) but am now having trouble thinking up a good everyday out of school experience for young children in which literacy learning would take place, and which I can analyse and draw implications from, to use as my scenario. Anyone got a good one? (its for young children, around prep age)  Hmmmmmmmmmmm...  Watching Sesame Street?  8 is insane.. I did 5 in year 12 and 6 in year 11 (one of which was a year 12 unit)  I did 7 in yr 11 and 6 in yr 12... one of the subjects was a one unit subject though...   *counts yr 11 subjects - drama, english, maths, bio, geog, hosp, re*  Yeah, that's right, cause I dropped hospitality at the end of yr 11...   Are you sure he's for rental?  Course he is... for that amount of money anyone would!  Melz, if Mika won't come, you could always hire Bono  What about grocery shopping and reading or writing the grocery list?

nico_collard Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 It is. But two of the subjects (the extensions) are only one unit each. So it adds up to 14 units, or the equivalent of 7 normal subjects. Â And I meant to comment on this... Â Â I did 7 subjects... I don't think it's too much! Â And I did 13 units... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oakie Doke Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 Prep is the first year of primary school here.  I think I might go with the children being read to/being taught to read by their parents... its just the analysing and all that that I need to do  The first year of primary school is year one here  So, we can say "finger", and we can say "woman" - but "a" is the dirty word.  In other news:  Wouldn't you all love the be one of the NZ people who had $10,000,000 put into their bank account by Westpac bank by mistake.  hahahahahaahaha. Gosh, it's going to be hard to not use that word, they should probably create * filter for us.  Omigosh! No fair! So this is what I get for a lifetime of devotion to westpac - no random $10,000,000? Psht!  I have free shoes from athletes foot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nico_collard Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 (edited) The first year of primary school is year one here  And to confuse the issue further, kindergarted is the first year of school here, but in Vic kindergarten is before school (what we call preschool)...    I never got anything from Westpac... though I do have mum's commonwealth acct and it has staff priveledges... and she hasn't worked for them in 11 years!  technically she never worked for commonwealth, but she worked for colonial state bank and they were taken over by commonwealth...

englishrose Posted May 22, 2009 Share Posted May 22, 2009 Hmm.. I am also putting off work. I desperately need to study Physics for tomorrow morning but I just don't feel like it. This is the scariest one. I think I did okay on chemistry and religion!  I am soooo un-stoked for my Physics exam. Especially if it's at 9am the morning after the Coldplay concert...  Are you sure he's for rental?  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kelzy Posted May 22, 2009 Share Posted May 22, 2009 Course he is... for that amount of money anyone would!  Melz, if Mika won't come, you could always hire Bono :das I'd make Mika work for it by throwing a few grand at him for each song he played. Extra cash thrown if he dances in my face. Old bra's optional.  And Bono would be just as worthy.. And Jon of course. Maybe both.. together.. hahahahahaahaha.

Evening Miss K.  Chances of me even getting near enough to wave to him - let alone talk to him = 0% Are you planning on sitting back and avoiding the melee. Wise, you are. But, Smell Mika, you won't. hmmmmm From the latest pics, it looks like you'd do better with alcohol.:wink2 : He gets more like Mike every day. :rolls_eyes : Good point. Though I haven't seen the latest pics yet. You don't post them in here like you used to. I rely on that. You have no idea how many photos I'd probably have not seen if it wasn't for you and your pic postwhoring.  And I love it. Wasn't very fond of "my sh!t don't stink" Mika.  One day he will be Mike :shocked : And we'll all get hit on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sweet-dreams Posted May 22, 2009 Share Posted May 22, 2009 I am soooo un-stoked for my Physics exam. Especially if it's at 9am the morning after the Coldplay concert... Â I've now finished all exams but one (maths extension). I'm very hapy that this week is over. The cold I've been developing is now full-blown so throughout today's music and english extension exams (both of which required a lot of writing) I was pretty much on autopilot. I just wrote by instinct and given my lack of the ability to breathe properly it was probably a load of rubbish. Â But I'm just relieved that they're almost done.

soangel Posted May 22, 2009 Share Posted May 22, 2009 SD hopes your cold gets better. Â Â Â I went to uni today, but 5 minutes into the lecture it got cancelled (cos her powerpoints were in the wrong format and it'd take her too long to download a convert program :eyeroll:). So us education students decided not to sit around the 3 hours until the tute for the unit and went home, meaning the uni I was going to skip today if I went to Melb got skipped anyways. Â In the end, I spent my little money until payday on sookie stackhouse books (since dad borrowed the first one off a friend and got me addicted enough to buy the second, which I finished today, so I brought the 3rd (also now finished) and the 4th. At times being a speed reader sucks) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
