Halloween!

This week Saturday is going to be halloween and because its going to be halloween I'm going trick or treating!!! And it going to be my first time, I'm really excited and nervous but I still don't know what I'm going to be me and my sister don't want to be the same thing but we both want to be Mavis from hotel Transylvania so I have to think of something else I wonder how much lollies I will get from trick or treating. Aleena want us to meet at school and go together but we have to go with our grandmas daughters children so we might not go with her.

Friday's Offical Opening

On Friday it will be the schools official opening I'm really excited because school will end early so i can play on my macbook. We will be singing Te Pu and Im really nervous for the official opening I will be able to finish more of my tasks on Friday because we will be home and there is no workshop on Friday its just setting up for the official opening so we have less time to finish our tasks, a few guests are coming but I only know one which is William Pike he was also at NYLD which was only for the year 6's. Also I hope that we have less tasks.

Ashmira, Divya, Jessica, Johanna, Jasonta & Aleena's Ko Te Pu Learning Story

Learners: Ashmira, Divya, Jessica, Jasonta, Johanna & Aleena     Learning Coach: T.Dillner           Date: 14.10.15

Learning Area: The Arts - Music (Preparing for OrmPS Official Opening)

Learning Observed and Vision Principles

For the Ormiston Primary School official opening the learners in LH1 had to learn a waiata with actions. To prepare for this, some of the NZSL Club members and Deaf learners spent some of their iBreaks working on the signs so they would be able to teach it. Ashmira, Divya, Johanna, Jessica, Jasonta and Aleena all chose to lead LH1 in the song Ko Te Pu. The video below shows that they are developing their capabilities in both learning new signs, and communicating these to a wider range of people. All of these girls demonstrated curiosity regarding the fact that they chose to spend their iBreak time learning new signs and opting to have the extra time to prepare. They are also showing the at OrmPS we value the official languages of Aotearoa New Zealand, by honouring the connection to Te Reo Maori and NZSL in this song.

Evidence of learning

Next Learning Steps

Lead the habitat regularly in our practices. Do an iExplore around other songs or poems that connect English and NZSL or Te Reo and NZSL.

Getting a macbook!

In the holidays our dad came back on the second week of the holidays and came back on Monday, first thing we did was unwrap our macbook and went on it our password was 1234 but I changed it what we did after was download our favourite game called star stable its about horses and on Saturday we got star rider. Next Monday we are going to get our cases my case is black with a ombre rainbow wave and Johanna (aka my sister) got a galaxy case. We are both getting the same keyboard cover which is also rainbow and its so awesome because right now we're using our mum and aunty's macbook case and its really blank when i get my case I will update this on a next blog post!
