Google Summit Leaning Story - August 2015

Learners:  Aryan & Divya                                               Learning Coach: DWilkes

Learning Area: Technology and KCs                            Date: Aug 12, 2015

Learning Observed

Aryan and Divya made us all proud when they represented us at the first ever Student Google Summit on Aug 12 at Hobsonville Point Primary School.  They were joined by hundreds of other learners from around Auckland and facilitated and participated in some exciting workshops about learning with digital technologies.  There was a lot of work leading up to this day.  First, they met with Ms Wilkes to express their interest, brainstorm what they could present and then write and submit their pitch to the GEGNZ.  They demonstrated passion, commitment and skills while meeting their deadline.  This was their pitch: Google Sites for Learning Our habitat website is great because it helps my confidence and if we need to find something we can access it from our school website- ormiston primary.school.nz. We use our website to share links to websites we use, modelling books from the learning coaches, presentations about interesting topics and much more! Come to this presentation so you too can learn how to use a google site with your class and community. They were of course successful and were added to the programme.  They then had to create their presentation and including a fun kahoot game as well.  The learners decided it would be great if they could practice their workshops the day before to iron out any crinkles and so they were able to facilitate their workshops for the rest of the habitat. Aryan and Divya enjoyed the practice run with a group of 20 learners and responded to feedback,making some small changes to improve their presentation. Their scavenger hunt was modified for the summit.  On the big day they demonstrated confidence and resilience when many devices couldn’t access the internet.  We were very proud of the way they solved problems, remained calm, positive and supported the participants. Divya was very creative with a way to do the scavenger hunt with only one device- way to go!

Key Competencies/Vision Principles

Divya and Aryan showed they could relate well with others both in their collaborative effort in creating and facilitating their presentation and in responding to feedback.  They participated and contributed, managing themselves in 3 other sessions on the day and took their learning back to OrmPS to share with others.  They showed curiosity in the google cardboard session and made connections to prior knowledge.  They were capable at solving problems when there were technical difficulties and constantly collaborated to maximise their own learning and that of others.

The gafe trip

IM SO EXCITED FOR GAFE :D I have been practicing at home for what I have to say and I am really excited to be a representer of ormiston primary school. The fact that I feel weird is that I am working with a boy and it is kinda of my limits to work with boys because usually I would work with girls. We have organized a scavenger hunts, but I am thinking that we should add more facts excited and waiting.

When I missed the zoo trip

When I missed the zoo trip I was bored horribly bored, extremely bored I had to still do homework. Even if I have to rest still have to study, but I love to read so I literally finished a book in  a day. It was about a egg name jerry. Jerry was an egg that wanted to adventure out one day jerry was trying to swim a pond until a duck came jerry ran so fast he hit a wall and cracked open kinda like humpty dumpty he was sent to the "nursery". Thats the part of the book I liked the most. It was really sad I missed the zoo trip.

Neha, Johanna & Divya present Riley & Steve's message from NYLD - August 2015

Learners:  Johanna, Divya & Neha                                             Learning Coach: D Wilkes

Learning Area: KCs and Literacy                                                Date: Aug 5

Learning Observed

Neha, Johanna and Divya collaborated together to provide a wonderful and inspiration component to the ‘Leadership Experience’ as a long awaited follow up to the NYLD that all the Year 6s attended in Term 2.  The girls co-constructed a presentation and speech which included a video of Riley and Steve (which can be found in the Leadership Experience presentation).  They sparked the curiosity of the crowd with the strong message of conservation and ‘yes you can’.  The learners loved watching the video and most walked away thinking about how they can help wildlife.  Practicing their public speaking, writing, presenting and leadership was what they did while the audience was inspired by Riley’s commitment to conservation.

Evidence of learning

Moari language Week

Moari Language Week

What I have learned from Moari language week is that there are different meanings for different animals and horse is maori is hoiho (Its my favourite animal). We also worked on our mihi's I have finished mine, but I have thought about doing a personal interest thing where I talk about what I like to do at home and my hobbies and to make it challenging I want to do it in maori , but most probably I would use a translator because it's pretty hard.
