The 2nd GEG In The Whole History!!

On Friday 11th August 2017, Ormiston Primary and Ormiston Junior college hosted the 2nd EVER Google Summit!, known as GEG (Google Education Groups). On that lifetime day, OJC and OrmPS were exhilarated to be part of this event. But obviously, this year's GEG wasn't just with OJC and OrmPS there were many different schools joining us on behalf of GEG. We even had a school come from Rotorua just for GEG!

The LH6 learners all had a job or role to do on this amazing event that is being connected to technology. Most of the jobs were presenters, participators, IT monitors, sidekicks and more. I was the participator and I was basically attending other peoples workshops. There was also another group that sung waiatas to everyone attending. I joined this group so I could build up some confidence to be in front of lots of people. We sang Te Aroha and E Toru Nga Mea which I lead with my friend Natasha.

There were a variety of workshops getting run throughout the day. But the ones I had participated in was Young Ocean Explorer's, Breakout EDU and Stop Motion like a Pro. My first workshop was... The Young Ocean Explorers was about a father and daughter who were really passionate about underwater life. Their names are Steve Hathaway (Dad) and Riley Hathaway (Daughter). Steve was a underwater photographer and their story began with one project that Riley had to do at her school. She called it "Save The Turtles" and from that Riley and Steve have been out exploring wondrous creatures that maybe some people didn't even know about. That was one of my favourite workshops because I love absolutely everything about underwater life and to stop pollution or rubbish from being thrown in waterways. My second workshop was.. BreakoutEDU. The Breakout was about the movie and book 'The BFG". Their were clues and locks to solve and discover to find an answer or treasure. We didn't quite finish the Breakout but it was SUPER fun!! My third workshop was.. Stop Motion Like a Pro. I liked this workshop because I got to learn about different techniques and apps to help with stop motion. My second workshop was... Breakout EDU. Breakout EDU is like a puzzle or quest to unlock a mystery or clue. This Breakout was based on the story or movie 'The BFG'. 


My next steps would be to try out different workshops next time that I wouldn't go to normally.

Stop... Pause... GO!!

YAY!!, Week 4 went super fast! But anyways, in this blog post I am going to do something a little bit different. Today I am going to use the Traffic light format. I will be sharing with you something I found tricky this week something I realize I need to improve and 2 things I've done really awesomely.

One learning area I found tricky this week was maths. We did collaborative problem solving and the problem was about triangles. I found it tricky because I had to fit all the angles and techniques into my brain to find the 3 types of triangle, also to solve the problem.

One learning area that I realize I need to improve on is P.E. Since the cross country is coming up and we need to start practicing for it. I need to improve on running as fast as I can because I want to beat my goal from last year's cross country.

Two areas I did really awesome this week are writing and literacy. I know that my speech writing is going to be amazing because I used lots of descriptive language and lots of remarkable features to make my writing spectacular to present a speech about donating to a charity. I also am really proud of my literature circle role because I had finished my work on time and added some questions to ask my group. Also since I was the expert in literature circles in my group, I helped my group run the meeting.

                           

THANK YOU!!!
