Cookie Crew Learning Story

Learners: Taanvi, Jasmine, Anjli & Kavisha    Learning Coach: DWilkes

Learning Area: iExplore (Science, Maths, KCs) VP: collaborative & connected Date: Term 3

Learning Observed

The group of girls, Taanvi, Kavisha, Jasmine and Anjli, worked collaboratively together to make this fundraising event a success.  They raised money for hospice and PE equipment.  It was quite an involved iExplore and it was great to observe the girls work through and negotiate the conflicts that arose along the way.  It was great to see Jasmine take charge of the spreadsheet where they connected with maths in determining how much of each ingredient they needed to make the quantity of batches they wanted to sell.  There was valuable learning in this process especially when the girls, Anjli in particular, realised that everything cost a lot more than they initially thought!  They realised that this was a huge job and elicited the help of two other learners- Aleena and Ash, who were very helpful, collaborative and supportive- though with the six of them in the kitchen it got a touch noisy!  On the day of the sale, the girls had help from Mrs Doidge and Mr Dyer and the lines were literally out the door.  There was some excellent forethought in having learners pre-order so they could anticipate how much of everything to make.  Through this process the girls learned how to use the iExplore Leanring Model document to track their progress and receive feedback to grow their capabilities and connect all of their learning.

Next Learning Steps

learn to distribute tasks so group members do not duplicate tasks and lose valuable time ensure that they communicate clearly with Learning Coaches and leadership team (eg. Ms W stated no ingredient shopping until the spreadsheet was completed but the girls went shopping with Mr M anyways as he didn’t know this) finish the reflection presentation with a video or images and complete the iExplore Learning Model document- responding and actioning the feedback from Learning Coaches reflect on what they would do differently to make this even more successful next time!

Summers

 Summer is 

here summer is here I can't wait to go to the beach . It is spring and I can't wait until it is summer .ilove summer because you can get release into the fresh air and have lots of fun with your family .

Anjli's Operation Big Science Learning Story

Learners:  Anjli, Katherine, Justin & Gary                            Learning Coach: DWilkes                                                                            Learning Area: Science                                                                            Sept: August 2015

Learning Observed

Anjli, Katherine, Justin & Gary had a blast conducting Operation Big Science in Week 7.  Thanks to the New World kit of ingredients.  Lots of learning resources as well about the Types of Mixtures and Chemical Reactions in Baking.  The learners learned that cooking is scientific fun and that the science capabilities are for life.  After initially watching a short video explaining the difference between chemical and physical changes the learners were challenged to explore their curiosity by examining their materials and discuss their priori knowledge about the materials and cooking with them.  Then they collaboratively devised an experiment - a cooking experiment, using the ingredients they selected.  First they identified a question and then a hypothesis- making connections to their prior knowledge.  As a group they needed to plan their method too.  During the cooking they made observations- noting what they notice, think and wonder.  Anjli did well to lead the experiment. They also practiced their capability at measuring while completing their recipe.  It was collaborative and delicious!
