Speech for Jahnavi
So, on the 7th of September 2015, a lucky student from our school went to Papatoetoe North School.
It took about 15 mins to get there and also 15 mins to come back to school.
Jahnavi was so scared. I saw her legs wobble because she was that scared.
She had to go head to head with 11 other schools and many teachers and parents looking at her.
Mr McNeil, Anjli, Taanvi and I were sitting on the chairs waiting for Jahnavi to have her turn.
At the end of everything, we got to know all of the people that came in places.
The first place went to a speech about Teaching your parents how to use a Smart Phone.
The second place went to a speech about laughter and the third speech went to a speech about robots.
I'm really proud of Jahnavi for at least coming to the speech finals!!
Well Done!!!

Jasmine, Neha & Jahnavi - Author's Purpose Learning Story
Learners: Jahnavi, Neha & Jasmine Learning Coach: T.Dillner Date: 3.9.15
|
Learning Area: Literacy - Author’s Purpose
|
Learning Observed
|
Jahnavi, Neha and Jasmine attended a literacy workshop which was aimed at one of the Learning Progressions that each learner has on their Learning Pathway. We were looking specifically at how an author might use features on the cover and spine, in the blurb and in the text. The learners had to work together to analyse a text and identify why the author included these features and what they told the viewer about the text.
Jahnavi, Neha and Jasmine worked as a group on a variety of novels, connecting how the author may have used features that were the same or different on each text. They showed an increased capability in this when talking together about how the cover image, title, blurb and first page gave an idea of the theme and the author’s purpose. As they collaborated, each of the girls were able to extend their own knowledge by building on it with the ideas of the other group members.

Create a Habitat
Create a Habitat
So, in the past weeks, LH1 students have been planning and creating a habitat for a animal.
I was in the Make It group. I worked with Vristhi and Jahnavi for our habitat. Our animal was a Bat.
Firstly, we had to choose, if we were working by ourselves or with a group. I decided to work with a group since the word Collabaortive was our main word for Term 3.
Vristhi and I first searched up facts about Bats. The kind of bats we were doing were Fruit Bats. Vristhi and I then wrote all of our information on our fact file which is a sheet of paper that we write on about our animal which helps us with our habitat.
We also drew our plan of our habitat and wrote down our things that we needed to bring or buy.
Jahnavi then came to LH1. She was the newest student here and Vristhi and I asked Mrs Dillner if she could join our group for making our habitat. We explained everything to her and told her what we were up to.
We then started painting our box and started making our tree. We also painted the tree brown and added pieces of green paper and hot glued it on the top of our weird looking tree. We then glued the tree into the bow and we then started making some fruit out of clay but they didn't turn out so good. We then just decided to use form and cut out shapes for the fruit and paint then. We made a cave out of cardboard and put it into the box near the tree and painted it brown and we dried brush it black and silver. It looked really cool!. We lastly made a mini pond by cutting a weird shape out of the form and painted it light blue and added a hint of white and dark blue.
We dried brushed the outside of the box with brown but it looked weird, We just ticked with it anyway.
Jahnavi made a cute little bat out of pipe-cleaners and we painted it black. and we hot glued it onto the part sticking out which is for the bat to hang on.
On Monday, Week 7, some of us presented out habitat while the others went around with post-its that they had to write and give to the presenter.
I was with Sanyia!!
I'm really proud of the people that made their habitats in time!!

Book Review (Geronimo Stilton, Cave Mice, Help, I'm In Hot Lava)
Hi everyone, my name is Jasmine and today I will be doing a Book Review on Geronimo Stilton Help, I'm in Hot Lava.
This book is from the Cave Mice series.
So, this book is mostly about Geronimo, but in this case, Geronimo Stiltonoot, going to Cheesey-La. Geronimo doesn't want to go because he thinks that Cheesey-La isn't real.
What I learnt is that you should go anywhere you haven't heard of before being you never know what may make you happy or interested in. So, just remember that just go where your parents want you go because you may never know what might interest you.
So, thank you for reading my Book Review for this week and I do say that you should read this book. It is a really cool book and you may learn something from this.

Speech for 2015 (part 2)
Speech for 2015
Here is part 2 of Ormiston's speech for 2015. This is the first speech for the history of Ormiston.
There were 9 people in the area where we had to read our speech in front of LH1 (all of them).
First after iBreak 2, we did the roll and we had Habitat Hui which is a Hui that we have on Mondays where we talk about new things and events.
After we went down to our indoor court. The speech readers sat on chairs and the rest of them sat on floor. Ash's parents came to watch us and some of the LH2 kids came too but they left early.
Before, after morning Hui, Mr McNeil gave us numbers that tell us the order we go in, so like if Ash got number one and I got number 2, that would mean that Ash would go first.
We also had a iPad filming us. It felt really weird because the iPad was following us if we had the remote.
When it was my turn, I felt like I could do it. I read my speech to all LH1 students and after, I felt really good. I was happy because it was all over now.
If you didn't know, my speech was about Feelings. It was kind of based on Inside Out.
We then heard who was the first, second and third. Jahnavi (a new student added to our school) came first, Aleena came second and one of the deaf students came third.
I am really proud of them (even though I'm not a learning coach aka teacher) for trying.
Congrats Jahnavi!! Your Oresome!!!
Thank you all for reading my speech blog his week and I hoped you enjoyed!!

Speech for 2015
Speech for 2015
In LH1 at Ormiston, we all have our Speech for 2015. The year 5s and 6s have to write a speech that has information and reasons on our topic. Did you know that we were able to choose our own topic that we were interested in. :) Happy face!!
The first thing we had to do was to think of a topic that interested us most and then we needed to write a interesting intro.
My topic was about Emotional Feelings. (my one was kind of based on Inside Out. If you don't know about the movie Inside Out, there is a kid named Riley and she has emotions in her head and even her parents have them)
The second thing we had to do was to write our whole speech which had to hook our listeners in and to have emotional words like, if you were writing about something sad, your listeners need to kind of like, feel sad too.
The third thing we had to do was to make sure it was 3 mins in time. The year 3s and 4s had to make sure it was 2 mins and the year 5s and 6s had to make sure it was 3 mins. The max was 2 mins and 50 seconds or 3 mins and 10 seconds.
The last few things we had to do was, to practice it and get a buddy to record it on a iPad. We then had to try to remember it off by heart or make Q cards.
And then on Week 5, we would be reading our speeches to our Hapu group. (our hapu group is for us that we started having on Term 2)
The first few would be the ones that really want to do it and then the rest of the 5s and 6s would go and then the year 3s and 4s would go. The rest of us would need to practice, practice and practice.
I was really wanting to do a Speech again but at my new school. I am really proud of everyone that has read their Speeches so far. There #oresome!!

Google Summit Learning Story - August 2015
Learners: Anjli, Taanvi & Jasmine Learning Coach: DWilkes

Learning Area: Technology and KCs Date: Aug 12, 2015

Learning Observed
|
Anjli, Taanvi and Jasmine made us all proud when they represented us at the first ever Student Google Summit on Aug 12 at Hobsonville Point Primary School. They were joined by hundreds of other learners from around Auckland and facilitated and participated in some exciting workshops about learning with digital technologies. There was a lot of work leading up to this day. First, Anjli and Taanvi met with Ms Wilkes to express their interest, brainstorm what they could present and then write and submit their pitch to the GEGNZ. They demonstrated passion, commitment and skills while meeting their deadline. This was their pitch:
Using GAFE in our Learning Adventures
We are going to be talking about our google drive, docs, slides, sites and much more. We will also be sharing with you all the stuff that we use on our devices for learning. We are lucky to have BYOD and lots of school devices. Our Learning Coaches use Teacher Dashboard to share docs with us which is really useful. We would like to share with you some examples of our learning. Come to our session if you would like to join us on our learning adventure!!!
They were of course successful and were added to the programme. They then had to create their presentation and included lots of videos and interactives like padlet. The learners decided it would be great if they could practice their workshops the day before to iron out any crinkles and so they were able to facilitate their workshops for the rest of the habitat. On her own as Taanvi was unwell, Anjli (amidst massive technical difficulties) persevered in her practice run with a group of 15 learners and responded to feedback,making some small changes to improve their presentation. On the big day Jasmine demonstrated capability and collaboration when she offered to support Anjli with her presentation as Taanvi was still unwell. Jasmine and Anjli demonstrated confidence and resilience when many devices couldn’t access the internet. We were very proud of the way they solved problems, remained calm, positive and supported the participants. Way to go girls!

Key Competencies/Vision Principles
|
The girls showed they could relate well with others both in their collaborative effort in creating and facilitating their presentation and in responding to feedback. They participated and contributed, managing themselves in 3 other sessions on the day and took their learning back to OrmPS to share with others. They showed curiosity in the google cardboard session and made connections to prior knowledge. They were capable at solving problems when there were technical difficulties and constantly collaborated to maximise their own learning and that of others.
