Watermelons in our School Garden
Hi, my name is Rudi and this is my first blog.
I am learning about how to Blog but have already made a comment on our class blog about our Yoyo garden project. I am most looking forward to growing watermelons as they are my favourite fruit. I hope they grow as big as my head! In the garden, the first watermelon shoots are just popping their heads above the ground. We planted 9 sets of watermelons in 3 rows of 3. When they have all sprouted, we will remove the little one and leave the stronger ones to grow into fruit. We can then eat them up!

Rudi's Yoyo Garden Project
Learner: Rudi Date: October 2015

Rudi and the Yoyos are on a mission to make our school a better place to learn and play. Over the past 2 weeks we have been researching, brainstorming and planning projects to carry out during Term 4 and beyond. There has been much excitement about the projects and how we can bring some of them to life. One of the projects Rudi has been involved in is preparing one of the planting beds for seeding. We have decided that some pumpkins will take pride of place in some of the bed and the rest is to be decided.
There was lots of collaboration going on as tools and time we shared. It was hard work clearing many of the well established weeds but Rudi persisted and worked hard to ensure the soil was ready for action. It will be exciting to observe developments in the coming weeks and to see if we can end up with a harvest of fruit and vegetables in the Summer / Autumn.
Rudi has also had the chance to pitch his own project ideas about setting up a bike track to run around our school grounds. Following a voting process, we will launch a variety of chosen projects over the coming weeks.

Here is Rudi and the Team on a information finding mission around school, searching out the best place for projects to occur.
Following on from this, we see Rudi getting involved in clearing the garden bed ready for planting.
The final result is a bed ready to produce next season’s harvest!

Rudi needs to ensure his project ideas are followed up on and he has the confidence to take them from the page to an effective conclusion. He will then see and feel the value of completing a project that makes a difference to his school. This will in turn, help when moving onto his next idea as he will has the confidence of success behind him.

Scratch & Makey Makey learning Story - September 2015
Learner: Aniq, Kavish & Rudi Learning Coach :DWilkes Date: Sept 2015- Week 8-10 Learning Area: Technology

Learning Observed

For the past few weeks the learners have been engaged in an innovation station! The learners were given the choice of 4 provocations which included: creating an Ormibot from scratch, designing an object in Tinkercad to print in the 3D printer, designing a Science experiment or designing a series of code using Scratch and Makey Makey each of which would develop their capabilities. Aniq, Kavish and Rudi enjoyed the first week of ‘discovery learning’ where they had some choices of tasks to complete to help them get familiar with the coding programme ‘Scratch’ and the extension kit ‘Makey Makey’ and make connections to their prior knowledge. They collaborated with other learners and they watched tutorials, tried out their predictions and played around with the various affordances of the equipment and programme. They used the Makey Makey and Scratch to create a game console successfully. Henry also supported these learners with using the Makey Makey- great collaboration. For Week 9 and 10 the boys worked collaboratively to design and create an animation using the Scratch programme. In order to piece together the code successfully there was a lot of trialling and prototyping which showed their resilience. They showed their curiosity, thinking and managing self skills by looking at what others had done and making connections to what they wanted to achieve. See their learning below and ask to see their animation on Scratch.
