My iexplore presentation

Making Kahoot
Yet was fun

Interesting
Exploring different things
X hard to find words 
Playing Kahoot
Liking to present
Our iexplore
Revisiting my presentation
Everything was fun
       



On Thursday we did our iexplore presentation and I was getting ready. My presentation was in google slides so it wold be easier to present.


This is My iexplore presentation  link. On Thursday's we have a our conference with Ms Wilkes. My presentation was about How can penguins survive in cold climates.


At the end we played a game of Kahoot which I created all about penguins.

Nisita, Alex and Vrishti's 3D Printing Learning Story

Learners: Vrishti, Alex & Nisita    Learning Coach: T.Dillner            Date: 21.9.15

Learning Area: Technology - 3D Printing

Learning Observed

Vrishti, Alex and Nisita chose to participate in 3D Printing during iExperience during Week 7-10 this term. We initially learnt about the Thinker’s Key called ‘BAR’. BAR stands for Bigger, Add, Replace. To practise, the learners had to pick either a pen, lunch box or tennis racquet to make a feature bigger, add to the item and replace something. The learners had as much creative license as they needed and then they reflected on how functional the item had become - could it still be used for its original purpose? The next stage was to come up with an item that we use at school and repeat the BAR process. Vrishti, Alex and Nisita decided to make a new version of a pencil case. Vrishti, Alex and Nisita had to use the website TinkerCad to design their new and improved pencil case. They had to use the pre-existing shapes to form their 3D model which was then printed out by our LH1 3D printer. After analysing their printed model, the girls were able to write a description about who would use it, why they designed it and what its features were. They also spent some time reflecting on improvements and redesigning it on TinkerCad to show these changes.

Key Competencies/Vision Principles

Vrishti, Alex and Nisita were collaborative during this process by sharing ideas and coming up with other ways to show creativity (Thinking, Participating & Contributing). They demonstrated curiosity by engaging with the entire technology process of designing, making, redesigning and evaluating. Vrishti, Alex and Nisita were connected as they were able to show their learning in three different mediums (paper, digital and printed model).

Next Learning Steps

Complete the second design on TinkerCad and print if time allows. Use the 3D printer as a component of an iExplore. Teach another learner how to use TinkerCad.

Summer acrossic poem

Summer
Umbrella helps get shade
Making icebocks
Making ice cream
Every day is fun 
Revisiting beaches



What is summer?

Summer is a warm season just after spring finishes.Summer starts from December to February.

I like summer because it is really warm in summer. I did umbrella for shade because it helps keep cold. Making ice blocks and ice cream is my favourite thing to do in summers mostly. Summer is fun because I get to play on my in the garden. Revisiting the beaches is fun because we can swim in the water.

Ormiston primary school acrostic poem

Oresome

Interesting things
Making good choices
All work done
Respecting learning couches 
Yet respecting others


School is fun
Collaborating with others is our goal
Helping others
Often help others
Ormps
Learning is fun!


Why I choose to do Ormiston primary school poem?
I wanted to describe the school in different ways. Wanted to share how much fun it is at Ormiston primary school. We get to use devices.

Spring acrostic poem

Sunny

Places drying from winters rain

Rainy 

Insects 

New changes

Growing new flowers


What is spring?
Spring is a season that starts getting warmer and warmer. Starts to ahead to summer. The starting of Spring is rainy but it starts getting warmer and warmer until summer starts! Animals like tortoise start finishing their hibernation. Flowers start growing.

Why I choose to do a poem about spring?
I like did a poem about spring because it starts getting warmer and warmer. I can go outside and play in my trampoline with my sister and brother. It is sunny. Less wind.

Penguins iExplore Learning Story - September 2015

>

Learner: Nisita                                                                 Learning Coach: D Wilkes

Learning Area: Literacy and 4Cs                                      Date:  Term 3

Learning Observed

Nisita has been diligently completing her iExplore on teaching others all about penguins.  She has been researching, refining her ideas and creating a helpful presentation for others to use to learn and improve their knowledge about penguins and how they survive in cold climates.  Her iExplore learning adventure stemmed from her curiosity about how the flightless birds survived in Antarctica. Nisita has learned to give credit to her sources of information, how to make slides more visually appealing to an audience and has practiced graphic organizers like a KWL chart to help her organize her thinking.  She is going to present her learning to our group in Week 8.  Nisita has responded to feedback from Learning Coach and learners in our conferencing sessions and is open to ideas.

Evidence of learning

iExplore Conference Doc (Slide 17) see presentation above

Key Competencies/Vision Principles

Nisita has shown she can be collaborative when sharing her research and receiving feedback.  She has demonstrated her capability at researching to answer specific questions- skimming and scanning and pulling our key ideas when summarizing texts.  She has made connections to her prior knowledge and experiences.

Next Learning Steps

present to our group write a blog post about your experiences create a quiz using kahoot to check for learning from the focus group put the presentation into your Learning Pathway as a learning artefact and share it with your family

Nisita's Operation Big Science Learning Story

Learners: Shreya, Henry, Louisa, Nisita                              Learning Coach: DWilkes  Learning Area: Science                                                                            Sept: August 2015

Learning Observed

Shreya, Henry, Louisa, Nisita had a blast conducting Operation Big Science in Week 7.  Thanks to the New World kit of ingredients.  Lots of learning resources as well about the Types of Mixtures and Chemical Reactions in Baking.  The learners learned that cooking is scientific fun and that the science capabilities are for life.  After initially watching a short video explaining the difference between chemical and physical changes the learners were challenged to explore their curiosity by examining their materials and to discuss their priori knowledge about the materials and cooking with them.  They had popcorn, nuts, chocolate, sugar, baking soda, glucose and butter.  Then they collaboratively devised an experiment - a cooking experiment, using the ingredients they selected.  First they identified a question and then a hypothesis- making connections to their prior knowledge.  As a group they needed to plan their method too.  During the cooking they made observations- noting what they notice, think and wonder.  Nisita did well working with her group to complete their experiment. She also developed some capability at measuring while completing their recipe.  Their concoction was a success and they shared it with the other learners.  It was collaborative and delicious!
