speech about how we can fulfil our dreams

so this is my speech that i have worked on and i hope you will enjoy it. 
Martin Luther King said "I have a dream"  .Well let me tell you a story about a young Martin Luther that fought for his life with death.William pike is an inspirational speaker,influencing young NZ and a leader in the outdoor and education . He is a living, breathing example to people of all ages that anyone can overcome adversity and challenges, leading to a more fulfilling life.At the end of September, with no warning at all, Mount Ruapehu erupted.
William Pike and his mate James Christie were in a DOC hut at the very top of the mountain, when volcanic rock and lava smashed over the top of them.
William Pike was trapped beneath the rock, he couldn't move.
And with their shelter destroyed, he was He has lost a leg, he has had skin grafts and numerous major operations, but as you'll see, this inspiring young man simp exposed to snow and freezing winds, with no way of getting warm.
Very matter of factly William Pike prepared himself to die.
His mate James Christie set out into the dark to find rescuers, but it was the middle of the night, on an erupting volcano, who would possibly be up there?
Two months later, William Pike is still recovering in Waikato hospital.
he can't believe his luck that he's alive.
lapsing into unconsciousness with hypothermia, and waking in a hospital to find he was alive.This all happen because he had a dream and he didn’t stop he fulfilled his dream and he says all pasion no limits

So my three reasons for my speech were to
-always believe in yourself and anything is possible
-all passion no limits
-always fulfill your dreams and never stop dreaming .
        so i hope all of you enjoyed my speech thank you

Tallest Tower Technology Challenge - Learning Story - August 2015


Learners:  Anjli & Taanvi                                       Learning Coach:  Ms Wilkes
Learning Area: Science and Technology                        Date: August 2015
Learning Observed
Taanvi and Anjli were 2 of four learners who initially showed interest in representing OrmPS at a technology challenge at Point View Primary School on August 26.  They met each Friday for a new challenge.  Their first challenge was to make the tallest free-standing tower they could using only the materials they were provided with:  5 sheets of paper, 6 straws, 30cm tape, 2 pipe cleaners, a couple of popsicle sticks and their imagination.  There was a time limit and they were up against the girls!  Anjli and Taanvi strategised together before they started building showing some fantastic problem solving and an ability to pre-plan.  They also made adjustments as they went demonstrating that they were resilient and could respond as needed.  They used the materials wisely and tried to keep the brief at the forefront- great effort.
Evidence of learning

Anjli and Taanvi go head to head against Justin & Nelvin in our first Technology Challenge!
Key Competencies/Vision Principles
Anjli and Taanvi participated and contributed enthusiastically, relating well to each other and managing themselves.  They used strong thinking strategies to maximize the use of their materials to strengthen and heighten their tower.  They collaborated strongly demonstrating an ability to listen to each other and communicate.  Their curiosity was evident in their design and although their design did not win they developed their capability at thinking and planning for technology challenges.  
Next Learning Steps
  • continue to come and participate in challenges every Friday
  • consider starting and leading a club for technology challenges in Term 4
  • practice for the competition!
  • ensure that you always stop and think before making decisions
  • write a blog post about this!

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!
Evidence of learning
Anjli practices (even when she had no projector!)
   

          Anjli and Jasmine present to 13 learners             Anjli wins a prize!
The OrmPS Google Summit Crew 2015
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.
Next Learning Steps
  • start thinking about their presentation for next year
  • write a blog post about their experience
  • teach family members some new skills/tricks they learned
