Curiosity

Learner: Louisa                                        Learning Coach :R.Moopanar      Date:  23 October 2016  Week 1-2                                         Learning Area: Science

Learning Observed

For the past few weeks the learners have been engaged in a curiosity quest!  The learners were given the choice of 8 curiosity quests which included: Why it is important to learn about eggs, imaginary planets, can humans live on another planet, why are New Zealanders called kiwis, how did dinosaurs live, telling the time and why is the solar system an exciting place - each of which would develop their curiosity.  Saniya, Harry and Louisa enjoyed the first week of ‘discovery learning’ where they had some choices of tasks to complete to help them get familiar with the planets of the solar system and make connections to their prior knowledge.  They watched videos and created a KWL chart about what they knew and what they wanted to learn about the planets of the solar system.  They created a slideshow of their learning.  Harry and Louisa also supported Saniya with finding information - great collaboration and leadership.  Thereafter they worked collaboratively to design and create a poster to compare and contrast two planets of their choice .  In order to create the poster successfully there was a lot of discussion.  They showed their curiosity, thinking and managing self skills by looking at what others had done and making connections to what they wanted to achieve.  See their presentation here.

The high-light of my day was iBreak 2 and this is what happened:

I was inside finishing up my iContribute. After coming out from the breezing wind blowing at my face i went down the normal stair case with Shaval,Ziel and Karis ,when we went down we saw Ms Wilkes at the door way to the office "LH1 and LH3 DogeBall" we decided if we should go and....  and we did. It was really fun I didn't get hit but I nearly got hit in the face twice , I panicked when I nearly got hit in the face.Then we got our shoes and went out the double doors and walked slowly towards the next door .After walking though 2 corners into the breezing wind and went to the near the grass and we played some games and went back to the LH1 and started learning again.

The High-Light Of My Day

My high-light of the day was iBreak 1 & 2 and this it what happened: Me and Sharon went to the grass near the courts and we invited Tongyu and Gemma to the game of Ball-Rush the I forgot who the tagger was though on the other hand I still enjoyed playing.

On iBreak 2 me,Kim,Gemma,Tongyu,Sharon,Harry and Anastasia it was a fun game , the suprising thing was that Gemma won both 2 games the last game's tagger was the fastest out of all of us-me,Kim,Gemma,Tongyu,Sharon,Harry and Anastasia- WAS...... "GEMMA" she got all of us.It was a lot of fun I really enjoyed that game

Fun Fact- The game I played in iBreak 1 and 2 was the game I did for iActive-Grey Group

Pulley System Narrative

Learner: Julian, Mahi, Sharon, Samar and Lousia       Learning Coach: Mr Hattie            Date: 13 October 2016

Learning Area: Learning Habitat 1 - iExperience

Learning Observed

Term 4 started off with a ‘Bang’ as we had our trip to MOTAT - Museum of Transport and Technology. For the trip our iExperience have been based around simple machines and Da Vinci. Julian, Mahi, Sharon, Samar and Lousia chose to do the Pulley System iExperience. Their task was to create a pulley system out of the material provided for them. They watched a video about the way pulley’s work and then they applied the knowledge in a practice way. Julian, Mahi, Sharon, Samar and Lousia started and was not too sure about how to make it work. We discussed that for it work effectively we need more than one pulley and that sparked some ideas. Julian suggested to have another pulley at the bottom. Sharon and Samar said that they need to have one end of the rope static. This will allow the pulley  to use more force. This was great to hear as they were Connecting the knowledge they gained from the video to the practical task. Mahi and Louisa were asking a lot of questions which allowed the group to think through the problems. Julian, Mahi, Sharon, Samar and Lousia showed the Vision Principles of Curious and Collaboration.

Evidence of learning

They have figured out that having a static line was useful.

Next Learning Steps

Julian, Mahi, Sharon, Samar and Louisa next steps are: Explore the science behind force of a pulley system. Make this pulley system have multiple actions. Write a reflection about their learning on Da Vinci.

Speech Narrative Assessment

Louisa Learning Coach:   Stephanie Hooker  & D Wilkes        Date: 2 September 2016

Learning Area:        iDevelop: Speaking, Writing and Presenting                                         Key Competency:   Using Language, Symbols and Text NZC AO:                   Level 2 Language Features: Students will: • Select and use sources of information, processes, and strategies with some confidence to identify, form, and express ideas.

Learning Observed

This term our learners developed their capabilities in speech writing. Louisa participated in workshops to plan, write, edit and present her speech.  The learners were introduced to persuasive language, speech organisation and effective speaking skills & strategies.  Louisa used feedback provided by the Learning Coaches and her peers to make improvements to her overall performance.  The use of a google document allowed Mrs Hooker and Ms Wilkes to provide ongoing feedback to the learners regarding their speech content, organisation and persuasive writing.   Louisa collaborated with other learners to practice and apply her presentation and speaking skills.  The learners used iPads to record each other speaking and used these recordings to observe, notice and make changes to their volume, pace, eye contact, body language and overall confidence.   With support and guidance Louisa was able to share her knowledge and use appropriate language to inform the audience.   It was great to see Louisa practice and apply her public speaking skills to develop an overall capability both at speaking and writing to inform.  Ka pai!
