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.

Shooting Galore!!

On Thursday 8th June, the new netball team played against Mission Heights on the Ormiston Primary courts!!.😊💪👍




First, when we started the whole team was VERY nervous!!, but we were alright and ready to play. The players in my team were... Me, Yuvika, Samantha, Komal, Shaval, Karis, Aditi and Sameeha.

Secondly, this was the position I was playing on the day... GA which is goal attack. I was helping Karis shoot and also helping the team defend. The other positions were C-center, WA-wing-attack, WD-wing-defence, GA-goal-attack, GD-goal-defence, GS-goal-shoot, GK-goal-keep.
 Thirdly, I was the captain and Aditi was co-captain, and mostly my job was to play rock, paper, scissors with the other team's captain before we play the game so we can decide who chooses a goal or who starts with the ball. I won the rock, paper, scissors so I chose the ball and the other team chose the goal, they picked the nearest goal where it was sunny and we had to use the goal on the far end and we had a better opportunity to have lots of goals because we had less sun in our eyes while shooting. 

The game was #oresome because we had WON the game!!!. I don't remember the scores or the ending points.

My next steps would be to try and explore more different techniques and tricks so I can become EVEN better at netball than I already am.

                                         THANK YOU!!!

Shaun, Nehaal, Shreya, Natasha and Amin's Fractions Learning Story


Learners: Shaun, Nehaal, Shreya, Natasha & Amin    
Learning Coach: T.Dillner/K.McCann           Date: 16.10.15
Learning Area: iDevelop - Maths
Learning Observed and Vision Principles
In Maths, the Green group has recently been learning about fractions and how these can be represented as a shaded area of a whole or as a numerical value (decimal).
Shaun, Nehaal, Shreya, Natasha and Amin were given a set of cards to make sets to represent all of the different ways to show a fractions value.
They all showed that they were curious about this concept as they remained engaged with the task, giving their full attention to seeing it through to the end. All five learners had to collectively share their knowledge and collaboratively match all of the cards correctly. From this, they were able to see the connections between the different ways a fraction can be recorded.
Evidence of learning
Next Learning Steps
  • To build on this collaborative knowledge, take the time to complete other Capability Tasks independently which will solidify new learning.
  • Be sure to ask questions to clarify thinking when needed.
  • Teach this concept to another learner or support them in their learning if they are confused.
