Computers Unplugged Narrative

Learner: Ricky, Ronav, Seline, Seraya and Towai     Learning Coach: Mr Hattie           Date: 16 December  2016

Learning Area: Learning Habitat 1 - iExperience

Learning Observed

Computers Unplugged is a Collaborative activity where learners are to role play as different parts of the computer to play a game. The different parts are the controller which sends command signals to the processor. The processor is the group which organises commands. The processor sends the command to the memory. The memory holds all the data and sends what the command means back to the processor and the process sends that to the graphics. The graphics does the command and that’s what we see on the screen. At first Ricky, Ronav, Seline, Seraya and Towai found this activity very hard and confusing but the longer the learners work at it the faster and easier it became. The controller does not know what the symbols mean at first but the more of the controls they pressor the more that happens on the screen. Ricky, Ronav, Seline, Seraya and Towai enjoyed this activity and they showed the Capabilities in Collaboration during it.

Evidence of learning

Seraya is the processor and is getting a command to the graphics. Seline is organising the graphics. Ronav is the memory and has the commands. Ricky was also the processor. Towai was the memory also.

Next Learning Steps

Ricky, Ronav, Seline, Seraya and Towai’s next learning steps: Use this activity as a writing task where they have to write instructions for it. Try and get faster at completing the game. They worked on figuring out the game. Verse another team at the game.

Today the most fantastic thing that I did today was iExplore because I got to do rockets. We made a rocket by using a plastic bottle and putting a tin foil little cup with some mystery powder! We also put some mystery liquid. But I only new some names. One was Mercury first that one did not work. Gemini that one did work it went up high. Apollo launched on my hand. We put all three together. But also exploded on my hand. We mixed Mercury and Apollo together and it did work. In-fact it went really really high. Up to the roof. It was really really amazing. But the exploding in my hand didn't feel so good. It hit me really really hard. But I was glad to experiment that!

Today the most fantastic thing that I did was iExplore because for our playdough piano we learnt how to play twinkle twinkle little star. It was very interesting because with using only six keys we could play it. That was really really cool. I couldn't do it very well but Mahi did. Also my iDevelop because I got to read with Sharon Cinder-Ella's (Not So) Ugly sisters. It was about a two sister called Winfried and Prudence. They were not the prettiest. But they were really nice. Their Mum (Widow Fairpenny) gave piano lessons. Baron Spendit brought his beautiful daughter Ella to piano lessons every Saturday. A few weeks later they got married. And Ella became their sister. But Ella was really really mean and called Win and Pru ugly. Ella's father broke the teapot of money that Widow Fairpenny had saved. And the spendit took it. Her nanny was a fairy bad mother who gave her everything she commanded. One thing she commanded was to tell every one that her sisters locked her up into and made her do chores. Like scrub the floors and clean cinders. So her nickname was Cinder-Ella. Also she made Win have purple spots and Pru to have big ears. One day their mail arrived to go to the ball. But Ella also called them ugly. Next Ella and the prince danced all night but soon Ella came in and she was dancing. Then they got married. But she ran to the duke of dollar. The End

Today the most fantastic thing that I did was iDevelop because we got to go to the library and read books. I got to read some books like The Lorax. We also red books to each other. I did this with Alysia, Katherine and Maanvi. It was really nice to hear them read. Also we did a very good quickwrite because we got to see a boy named Caine. He made a arcade. We had to do what was her curious about. First a guy came in and saw a arcade so he played a arcade. So he surprised him and so many fans and customers came to Caine's arcade. Even some people said "I wish I lived closer so I could come to the arcade. Because I live in New York.". That amused me a lot.

iReflect 17.10.16

Today the most fantastic thing that I did was iExplore because I got to make a playdough piano with makey makey. I did this with Mahi. We used a website that could make piano noises. We found out that playdough could conduct electricity. It was a really cool experiment. And the best thing was it worked! Also doing fractured fairy tail's.  It was really cool because I got to fracture Goldilocks and the three bears. And changed it to Goldilocks the robber and the three police bears. That was my two fantastic things that I did today.

iReflect 22.9.16

Today the most fantastic thing that I did was iExplore because we did so much things to make the iExplore better. We found way to present. And we finished our roman painting. With the explanation of why we did our great roman painting.

The other great thing was doing iExperience because I got to put all my evidence of learning. But I just need to add the explanation. I got a lot done.

Also the writing assessment. I think I did really well and I wrote three pages. I wrote it like a speech because speeches a persuasive and I chose persuasive.

We can build our capabilities by moving capably and sensibly. Not fiddling or talking when you are in line. We could also at jump jam when they put their hand up we should stop. Also we can do capable moving and not pushing in a game. For capable learning we can not fiddle when the teacher asks to do reading and writing. Another thing we can do is capably meet. To capably meet we need to listen to the person who is talking. Fold our arms and not a single word. Only if a question is asked. But put your hand up to talk. As it is very very bad to call out when it is not your turn to talk. We can capably eat by not talking while your eating. Or even not talking. Another thing is not to stand up or run when eating. For capable well being you have to not push or shove. And help each other when they are hurt.

iReflect 12.9.16

The most fantastic thing that I did was doing my narrative assessment. I almost finished my planning but I still have to add the 4c's in. The 4c's our capable, collaborative, curious and connected. It was about saying my speech. I put my feelings in my plan. One of the words that I use a lot is "Nervous" because it was my main feeling.

STEAM Club Narrative- Aug 26

Learners: Kim, Selestine, Sharon, Harry, Aditi, Hamish, Rudi, Louisa, Selene, Maanvi & Iman	Learning Coach:  D Wilkes	Date: 25-08-16
Learning Area:  Technology & Science NZC Achievement Objective: Level 2 Technological systems:  Understand that there are relationships between the inputs, controlled transformations, and outputs occurring within simple technological systems. Investigating in science  Extend their experiences and personal explanations of the natural world through exploration, play, asking questions, and discussing simple models.	Key Competency:    Thinking Relating to others Participating & Contributing Using language, symbols & text	4C:
Learning Observed: The learners were invited to use the www.buildwithchrome.com program to design a house but to do so creatively.  We began by logging into the website and signing in with their own google account.  Aditi and Hamish couldn’t sync their account initially but it worked when they published their design- yay! Then the learners used their imagination to design a house with the lego blocks.   This challenge was enjoyed by the learners immensely:   Selestine ‘this is #oresome!”   Louisa “I love STEAM club!”   Hamish ‘how do I add a window?’   Kim ‘I’ll show you, click here.’   Harry ‘I wish we could do this in learning time!’   Ms Wilkes ‘Why don’t you use it for your iExplore Harry?’ The learners were asked what this had to do with STEAM and this is what Aditi, Maanvi, Selene and Iman came up with:
Evidence of learning: Look at the #oresome fun the group had in this Photopeach SlideShow→ http://photopeach.com/album/142xx3p# The learners were making a lot of connections to their previous experiences with lego and designing .  The learners were very collaborative and helpful with each other and demonstrated a growth mindset mentality.  The learners were developing capabilities with prototyping, spatial awareness and visual representations.  Curiosities were evident in the Louisa’s rainbow house, Maanvi’s swimming pool home and Selestine’s various iterations! We talked about which kind of home would influence their design→ igloos, houseboats, teepees, tents, mansions, treehouses etc.  Selestine wanted to make them all!  Selene’s creation had a larger than life TV and Sharon built an entire village.  Harry, Kim and Hamish were the closest to a finished home but they were all able to publish and save it so they can work on it later if they choose.
STEAM- buildwithchrome on PhotoPeach
Next Learning Steps: Practice using www.buildwithchrome.com to create new designs See if they can re-create their design with actual lego Write a blog post about what they learned and how using www.buildwithchrome.com relates to STEAM learning areas

The most exciting thing that I did today was doing my speech I got to put my speech in a dock it is going well I only need too do the end of my speech. I can't wait to complete my speech.

Another thing that I did was cross country I am always exhausted but it is good that I can make it. Cross country is really hard so I have too always try my best. I try too not stop running. I can't wait till cross country happens.

iReflect 18.8.16

The fantastic thing that I did toady was iExplore I started my action plan and my slides. My next thing that I had to put my questions on the slide. I'm very excited to watch videos to watch videos about Ancient Rome. I am going to make a castle or a house. I love history! I also did my speech I had to edit. I am very excited to finish my speech.

iReflect 17.8.16

Today the fantastic thing that I accomplished was reading in bug club. The book that I read was Mystery Of The Missing Finger. I liked the book because it was a mystery. The mystery was about a robber stealing a painting in Marchmont Hall. It was a blind horse man painting that costs 9 million dollars. It was called Missing Finger because the robber had a missing finger. The robber did not have a real missing finger. The robber tried to frame the housekeeper that had a missing finger. The robber was the owner of Marchmont Hall! He did not have any money too keep Marchmont Hall so he stole the painting. I liked the book because I love mystery books they are so interesting and keep me not bored. Also it is cool because it makes me want to read more and not want to stop reading. I highly recommend the story and you should definitely get a account on bug club. I can't wait too read another interesting stories on bug club.

Gardening iExplore Narrative

Learning Area: Learning Habitat 1 - iExplore

Learning Observed

Maanvi, Sharon, Alysia, Seline, Kim, Mahi, Cassandra, Annia, Shubhi, Katherine for iExplore are showing their Capabilities with organising an iExplore about a Gardening Competition. This will be run across the entire school. Today they were working on getting the garden prepared for each plot. For this they had to learn about meter rulers and find the area and perimeter of the garden bed. This was new learning for all. Sharon, Alysia, Seline were really excited about their new learning. Seraya was unsure about the process but with perseverance she managed to understand it. Once they knew how big the garden area was they had to section it off for each plot. For this they stapled string to the garden to section it off. Sharon, Alysia, Seline, Mahi, Annia,Seraya and Shubhi got the meter rulers and they measured the size of each plot. Sharon, Alysia, Seline, Mahi, Annia,Seraya and Shubhi all worked very well together and have shown their Capabilities with Math and iExplore.

Learning Area: iExperience  Developing our capabilities

Learning Observed

During iExperience Week 1 Term 3 we were exploring what “being capable” means for us as learners and how we can develop our capabilities. The groups of learners experienced a range of fun tasks and their challenge was to participate and collaborate to improve their skills. This led to talking about setting goals to help us improve our capabilities. This group of learners set a goal to build the highest tower of cups. After their rotation of different fun tasks the learners gathered together to think and discuss what being a capable learner would look like. They came up with these ideas: being independent; having an attitude of “I can do it”; being confident; being persistent and not giving up; trying things in different ways and self managing themselves. They also made the connections with ways they could develop your capabilities:  by training your brain by practicing and  remembering, trying your best, working hard, having an open mindset to try and learn new things and setting goals. They were  introduced to the SMART acronym to help with setting goals. The learners had time to think about the things they were capable at and then consider the areas they need to develop their capabilities in. The learners were then asked to think of 4 goals for themselves . An academic goal,a social goal, a physical goal and a #oresome goal.

Evidence of learning

Next Learning Steps

*complete writing an academic goal, social goal, physical goal and #oresome goal. *discuss these with their parents/whanau and caregivers. *publish them in their Learning Pathways. *present them on the art shapes they created.

STEAM Club steams ahead!

My Experience was about new sports. I learnt how to play handball it was cool because I found out it is like  soccer with the hand. I also learnt the different types of sport like fencing and judo. I liked learning about the Olympics.

iReflect 3.8.16

My iExperience was about Olympic codes. We played a game where we had to disagree with a sport and agree. We also played a class game it was the same game. But we had bigger groups. The group the I was in always wins and it is the NO! side. I learnt boxing was a sport. I liked learning about the Olympics.

iReflect 2.8.16

Our hapu group did for iExpirience a Olympic flags . We learnt the different flags of the world. I started doing Japan and France. We had to say what we connected with. I connect with Philippines because I was born their and I am Filipino. I really like the part where you made the flags because we get to find out new flags and get to draw them in.

Adverb Narrative Assessment

Learner: Shaval, Seline, Charlotte and Pranjal         Learning Coach: Mr Hattie          Date: 6 May 2016

Learning Area: Learning Habitat 1 - Literacy

Learning Observed

Today we were learning about different types of words such as, verbs, nouns, proper nouns, plural nouns and adverbs. We were pretty good at most especially nouns and verbs, but we weren’t sure about what an ‘Adverb’ was. We started with using our Capabilities with root words and prefixes to try and solve it. Then we used our Curiosity to research it. This was showing that we could use the Key Competency of Understanding language and text. We found out that an adverb is a word or phrase that modifies the meaning of an adjective, verb, or other adverb. We used Madlibs to help us practice our different types of words. Learner Voice: Shaval: I learnt what a noun’s meaning and adverb’s meanings. Seline: I learnt what a adverb means and what nouns and verbs means. Charlotte : I learnt that adverb means is about adjective,verb or other adverb. Pranjal: I learnt  what is adverb it means that it is adjective and another adverb.

Evidence of learning

Next Learning Steps

Our next learning steps are to: Use and identify these types of words in our writing. Learn more about nouns e.g. collective nouns. Use a range of these word types in our writing to make our writing more interesting.

My scary moment in time

                                Scary Moment in time

               By SELINE NEVADO

I was all alone in my room. I heard the sound of spells popping out. In my mind I see the creepy people coming towards I felt horrified. I thought I saw someone but that was fake. I heard stepping . I called my Mum. Then I saw the bugs outside I thought they were coming in. It was very dark so I couldn't see so much. I turned around I saw the picture of me and my family it gave me a big fright like I saw a ghost. Mum was getting closer. My room felt like it was getting smaller. I felt horrified terrified and scared. As she slowly walked I fell sleepy. She came she took a peek it was to late I have fallen deeply asleep.

Annia, Sally & Seline - RESPECT iExplore Learning Story

Learners:  Annia, Sally & Seline   Learning Coach: D. Wilkes          Date: 5.2.16

Learning Area: iExplore - Social Science

Learning Observed

In the first week of school Annia, Sally & Seline opted into an iExplore around ‘respect’ ultimately creating a product using a digital media.  One of the key purposes of this was to become more familiar with our OrmPS Learning Model. The girls embarked on some important foundational learning around respect and made connections to the Treaty of Waitangi as well.  They are beginning to understand that people have social, cultural, and economic roles, rights, and responsibilities and that cultural practices reflect and express people’s customs, traditions, and values.  Working with other learners, the girls began the learning adventure by unpacking the word ‘respect’  being curious around what  it means to them? why is it important? using the mini-whiteboards.  They had an opportunity to see the Treaty of Waitangi and to make the connection that it was an agreement grounded in respect.  They had some fun ideating ‘what would you have on your treaty should aliens comes to live on planet Earth?’ After that, really enjoyed thinking about how we ‘Respect self’  ‘Respect Others’ and ‘Respect Environment’ at OrmPS and came up with some fantastic contributions- particularly around respecting self.  They then collaborated to create a media product which they could present to the wider group and they Annia, Sally and Seline worked as capable learners and how proud and confident they were when presenting their creation.  Ka Pai!

Next Learning Steps

Start an iExplore learning journey carefully using the OrmPS learning model Continue to work collaboratively with learners who are not in their immediate social circle Use the vocabulary and NZSL signs that learn in other learning areas Grow their capabilities with other digital tools through practice eg. Pic Collage, Sock Puppets, Puppet Pals, iMovie etc.

Toni, Tristan, Seline & Alesha's Connected Challenge Learning Story

Learners: Toni, Tristan, Seline & Alesha     Learning Coach: T.Dillner            Date: 5.2.16

Learning Area: iExperience - Relating to Others

Learning Observed

This term our focus is on how we can be connected citizens. To introduce this, the Learning Coaches set up a series of challenges for the learners to complete. Each challenge was worth a different amount of points and the teams had to work together to get the highest amount to win. One task was to get all team members to cross the ‘Nile River’ (the width of one netball court) using only three hoops. Toni, Tristan, Seline & Alesha had to discuss ways to make this work before attempting it. They needed to think about how their words, actions, attitudes and ideas impacting the success of the team. Each learner was able to act in a collaborative way in order to achieve the joint goal of crossing the ‘river’. They were capable of devising a method to connect their strengths and remain safe from the Nile Crocodiles!

Evidence of learning

Next Learning Steps

Swap roles so other members of the team retrieve or replace the hoops. Make a point to do some iDevelop learning with one of their team members and build this relationship.
