Pulley System Narrative


Learner: William, Rudi and Toni    Learning Coach: Mr Hattie            Date: 13 October 2016
Learning Area: Learning Habitat 1 - iExperience
Learning Observed
Term 4 started off with a ‘Bang’ as we had our trip to MOTAT - Museum of Transport and Technology. For the trip our iExperience have been based around simple machines and Da Vinci. William, Rudi and Toni chose to do the Pulley System iExperience. Their task was to create a pulley system out of the material provided for them. They watched a video about the way pulley’s work and then they applied the knowledge in a practice way. There was a lot of discussion around their initial ideas. They tried to just hold each of the pulleys that they made and Rudi asked “Can we get some cardboard boxes?” This allowed them to have more pulleys and a stronger base. Toni and William went on sticking pulleys at the top of the box and the bottom of the box. This gave them a 3 pulley system.  This will allow the pulley  to use more force. This was great to hear as they were Connecting the knowledge they gained from the video to the practical task. William, Rudi and Toni showed the Vision Principles of Curious and Collaboration.

The during and after of the pulley system. The end rope was tied down which allows an equal amount of force as the pulling side.
Next Learning Steps
William, Rudi and Toni’s next steps are:
  • Explore the science behind force of a pulley system.
  • Make this pulley system have multiple actions.
  • Write a reflection about their learning on Da Vinci.

The learners were invited to use the www.buildwithchrome.com program to design a house but to do so creatively.  We began by logging into the website and signing in with their own google account.  Aditi and Hamish couldn’t sync their account initially but it worked when they published their design- yay!

Then the learners used their imagination to design a house with the lego blocks.  

This challenge was enjoyed by the learners immensely:  

Selestine ‘this is #oresome!”  
Louisa “I love STEAM club!”  
Hamish ‘how do I add a window?’  
Kim ‘I’ll show you, click here.’  
Harry ‘I wish we could do this in learning time!’  
Ms Wilkes ‘Why don’t you use it for your iExplore Harry?’

The learners were asked what this had to do with STEAM and this is what Aditi, Maanvi, Selene and Iman came up with:

Evidence of learning:
Look at the #oresome fun the group had in this Photopeach SlideShow→ http://photopeach.com/album/142xx3p#

The learners were making a lot of connections to their previous experiences with lego and designing .  The learners were very collaborative and helpful with each other and demonstrated a growth mindset mentality.  The learners were developing capabilities with prototyping, spatial awareness and visual representations.  Curiosities were evident in the Louisa’s rainbow house, Maanvi’s swimming pool home and Selestine’s various iterations! We talked about which kind of home would influence their design→ igloos, houseboats, teepees, tents, mansions, treehouses etc.  Selestine wanted to make them all!  Selene’s creation had a larger than life TV and Sharon built an entire village.  Harry, Kim and Hamish were the closest to a finished home but they were all able to publish and save it so they can work on it later if they choose.

Learner: Anastasia, Angkor,  Rudi, Samantha, Melissa    Date: July T3, 2016
Learning Coach: Margaret Patrick                             Narrative Learning story  
Learning Area: iExperience  Developing our capabilities                                              
Learning Observed
During iExperience Week 1 Term 3 we were exploring what “being capable” means for us as learners and how we can develop our capabilities. The groups of learners experienced a range of fun tasks and their challenge was to participate and collaborate to improve their skills. This led to talking about setting goals to help us improve our capabilities. This group of learners set a goal to balance their spoons at the same time. After their rotation of different fun tasks the learners gathered together to think and discuss what being a capable learner would look like. They came up with these ideas: being independent; having an attitude of “I can do it”; being confident; being persistent and not giving up; trying things in different ways and self managing themselves. They also made the connections with ways they could develop your capabilities:  by training your brain by practicing and  remembering, trying your best, working hard, having an open mindset to try and learn new things and setting goals. They were  introduced to the SMART acronym to help with setting goals. The learners had time to think about the things they were capable at and then consider the areas they need to develop their capabilities in. The learners were then asked to think of 4 goals for themselves . An academic goal,a social goal, a physical goal and a #oresome goal.

Next Learning Steps
*complete writing an academic goal, social goal, physical goal and #oresome goal.
*discuss these with their parents/whanau and caregivers.
*publish them in their Learning Pathways.
*present them on the art shapes they created.

Rudi & Dhillon's Rugby Learning Story



Learners: Dhillon & Rudi
Learning Coach: T.Dillner           Date: 5.5.16
Learning Area: Physical Education          
Key Competency: Participating and Contributing, Relating to Others
Learning Observed
For PE, LH1 learners were focussing on passing a rugby ball with the correct techniques. We focused on how to place our hands on the ball, how to position our arms and how to aim. The learners then needed to pair up and take turns to practice passing the ball through a hoop.
Dhillon and Rudi collaborated with positive attitudes. They took some time to practise their techniques and support each other with reminders of what the success criteria were. To begin with, they held the hoops still, and as they became more confident, they decided to extend their capabilities by making the hoop a moving target, and then more of a challenge by rolling it along the ground.
Evidence of learning





Next Learning Steps
  • Remember that a rugby pass is across the body, starting from the hip farthest away from the target.
  • Practise passing through the hoop from a greater distance.

Hamish & Rudi's Learning Story - Read to Someone/Listen to Reading


Learners: Hamish & Rudi    Learning Coach: T.Dillner           Date: 18.2.16
Learning Area: iDevelop - Reading
Learning Observed
As part of our Reading programme in LH1, the learners have been learning about the parts of the Daily 5. This covers a range of activities to enhance capabilities in Literacy. Hamish and Rudi were spending time reading to one another. This is one aspect of the Daily 5 where learners sit elbow to elbow and knee to knee in order to best communicate to one another. They took turns at reading and listening, following along with the text and pictures. Hamish and Rudi selected their own books by practicing how to connect the parts of the ‘I Pick’ method - What is the purpose of this book? Is the book interesting? Can I understand/comprehend what is happening? Do I know all the words or are there some that are tricky?
Evidence of learning

Yuvika, Lohit, Rudi, Disha & Carlo- iExperience Connected Challenge Learning Story


Learners:  Yuvika, Lohit, Rudi, Disha & Carlo   
Learning Coach: D Wilkes          Date: 5.2.16
Learning Area: iExperience - Connected Challenge   Key Competency: Relating to Others
Learning Observed
This term our focus is on how we can be connected citizens. In order to launch this the learners participated in a ‘Connected Challenge’ (see below).  In this challenge Yuvika, Lohit, Rudi, Disha and Carlo worked in a team and collaborated on various connected tasks.  They first had to look at the challenge and devise a plan- which tasks would they do first?!  It was great to see the group negotiate and select their options.  Yuvika showed some real leadership in this task- especially considering that there are so many new relationships forming in LH1.  Carlo and Rudi got straight into their tasks showing their capabilities and Lohit and Disha showed curiosity while asking questions about the tasks.  Some of the tasks they worked on included- the Curious challenge- coming up with questions for the learning coaches, the Connected challenge- writing an acrostic for the word connected and the Connected task of making a paper chain.  There was some great strategy and collaboration in this team- Ka Pai!
