Paragraph Problem Writing Activity

insert the paragraphs in the passage below.

There was once a velveteen rabbit and in the beginning he was really splendid. He was fat and bunchy as a rabbit should be; his coat was spotted brown and white he had real thread whiskers and his ears were lined with pink sateen.

On Christmas morning when he sat wedged in the top of the Boy's stocking with a sprig of holly between his paws the effect was charming. There were other things in the stocking nuts and oranges and a toy engine and chocolate almonds and a clockwork mouse but the Rabbit was quite the best of all.

For at least two hours the Boy loved him and then Aunts and Uncles came to dinner and there was a great rustling of tissue paper and unwrapping of parcels and in the excitement of looking at all the new presents the Velveteen Rabbit was forgotten. 

For a long time he lived in the toy cupboard or on the nursery floor and no one thought very much about him. He was naturally shy and being only made of velveteen some of the more expensive toys quite snubbed him. The mechanical toys were very superior and looked down upon everyone else; they were full of modern ideas and pretended they were real.

scared moment in time

The crickets creaking it was creepy.The darkness was like I was in a dark cabinet.The door of my room was open.I was scared.I was freaked out because I could hear childish music.It was like Voldemort was going to come to my room.The childish music was on because my dad was listening to it and he fell asleep.I saw a arm it could've been Voldemort but it was my mum.

Nima the Learning Coach Narrative

Learner: Nima                                  Learning Coach: Mr Hattie           Date: 23 March 2016

Learning Area: Learning Habitat 1 - iExperience

Learning Observed

In iExperience Learning Habitat 1 is currently running a space activity rotation. This is where the learners get to choose what activity they would like to participate in. Nima started off with choosing the activity that involves learning about constellations and making their own constellations. Throughout this activity Nima was very excited and interested about the different constellations. He could not get enough and used the Chrome book to research about as many constellations as he could. When it came time to choose and new activity he wanted to stay and do the activity again. We had told him that he was not able to do this but I told him that he could run the session since he was now an expert. Nima was very excited about this. He explained the task perfectly and when he was discussion what constellations are with the new learners that showed up he sounded like a Learning Coach. He was able to explain with the correct vocabulary what a constellation is, this shows that he developed his Capabilities with this task. He then Collaborated with the learners during the task. Nima showed the Key Competency of Relating to Others by the way he interacted and asked if they needed any help and explained it patiently. I was very impressed with Nima during this activity.
