Ormiston Primary School touch.

                              Ormiston Primary school touch
On Tuesday 20th October Mr Mcneil chose 12 people to go to interschool touch. I got chose to go and we went my friends got chose . We did not go in a car we walked to Mission Heights junior college . When we got there we got told our place to sit. The first team we versed was Sancta Maria Primary. We lost but we tried our best to win. Next up was Riverina primary.  I scored a try pretty much but the referee said it was not a try . I think if I scored that try it would of been cool because I dived to score. Also Henry scored a try because our team mated were collaborating and passing to each other. Final team we versed was a team that I don't know  they were so fast that every second they would intercept it from us and I would start chasing them so hard that I thought I was Usain Bolt.

Robot Wars Narrative


Learner: Rohullah                                                          Date: September 2015
Learning Area:        iExperience - Robot Wars               Learning Coach:    John Dyer                 
Learning Observed
Over a course of 6 sessions, Rohullah took part in a Science and Technology challenge. The aim was to design and make an electronic robot using a variety of materials including a button cell battery and a mobile phone buzzer. Rohullah collaborated with other learners as they decided that the ‘Ormibots’ (as they became affectionately known) would compete in categories of speed, strength and good looks!

Rohullah worked with Richard and Shaun to create the most deadly moving weapon the world had ever seen! Initial challenges faced were finding ways to combine the motor and battery to good effect. Rohullah helped his group to problem solve and redraft plans in order to overcome difficulties and compete well in the Ormibot challenge.
Evidence of learning


It may look harmless but it is rumoured that the Ormibot pictured is faster than a speeding bullet and stronger that cryptonite!

Rohullah claims to be the brains behind the whole project!

Key Competencies/Vision Principles being demonstrated

Thinking - Making sense of information, experiences and ideas.
Using language, symbols, and texts - Making sense of words, numbers and images.
Managing self - knowing when to lead, when to follow and when to act independently.
Relating to others - Interacting effectively in a range of contexts.
Participating and contributing - Being actively involved in school and the community

Rohullah needs to take time in the planning stage of his work and ensure he has clear direction with what he wants to achieve. He also needs to reflect further on his work in order to greater understand concepts in technology and across the curriculum.



MKR Cake in a Cup iExperience


Learner: Rohullah                                                      Date: 1/9/15
Learning Area: iExperience - Science and Food Technology                                       
Learning Coach: John Dyer                 
Learning Observed
A recent iExplore combined learning around the properties of baking soda and how we can apply this to a baking context. Rohullah made observations of the reaction that occurs between baking soda which is a base and vinegar which is an acid. He made predictions about what would happen and enjoyed seeing the chemical reaction occur as vinegary goodness shot into the air!

Rohullah then teamed up with Rahi in a My Kitchen Rules Extravaganza, with teams pitting their wits against each other to produce the world’s greatest ‘Cake in a Cup’ Rohullah was able to follow instructions and use creativity to make and decorate his masterpiece.

The end result was scientific understanding, real life application and a final dose of Yum! I can confirm that there was nothing left in the bowl at the end.
Evidence of Learning


Voila! Chocolate cake a la Rohullah and Rahi, who is also telling us that he had 2 servings!

Well done boys. You collaborated well and demonstrated that you are capable Masterchefs!

Next Learning Steps
Rohullah is now encouraged to apply his learning of chemical reactions to find out other combinations that have interesting results. Through using iExplore, he has opportunity to take things to a deeper level of understanding and inquiry. Or he could apply for the next round of MKR and take the world by storm!
