Pulley System Narrative

Learner: William, Rudi and Toni    Learning Coach: Mr Hattie            Date: 13 October 2016

Learning Area: Learning Habitat 1 - iExperience

Learning Observed

Term 4 started off with a ‘Bang’ as we had our trip to MOTAT - Museum of Transport and Technology. For the trip our iExperience have been based around simple machines and Da Vinci. William, Rudi and Toni chose to do the Pulley System iExperience. Their task was to create a pulley system out of the material provided for them. They watched a video about the way pulley’s work and then they applied the knowledge in a practice way. There was a lot of discussion around their initial ideas. They tried to just hold each of the pulleys that they made and Rudi asked “Can we get some cardboard boxes?” This allowed them to have more pulleys and a stronger base. Toni and William went on sticking pulleys at the top of the box and the bottom of the box. This gave them a 3 pulley system.  This will allow the pulley  to use more force. This was great to hear as they were Connecting the knowledge they gained from the video to the practical task. William, Rudi and Toni showed the Vision Principles of Curious and Collaboration.

Evidence of learning

The during and after of the pulley system. The end rope was tied down which allows an equal amount of force as the pulling side.

Next Learning Steps

William, Rudi and Toni’s next steps are: Explore the science behind force of a pulley system. Make this pulley system have multiple actions. Write a reflection about their learning on Da Vinci.

Chapter 1

As eko was walking out he saw a zigzagoon rush past, "huh, a new pokemon" eko wondered, 'sh, ft, sf, ts' the bush was shaking, then a girl, about the height of eko, with red hair, and she was wearing almost full red, "hi, my name is chloe, what's your name?" she said, "um... my name is eko, nice to meet you" eko repied. it was then zigzagoon tackled her, she fell on the ground, zigzagoon was standing behind her " zigzag, zig zagoooooooon!" it howled, "okay, thats how you want it, then go poochyena!" eko called, he threw poochyena's pokeball the poochyena came out, "alright, use bite!" eko called, poochyena charged and used bite on zigzagoon, zigzagoon jumped and used scratch, "dodge it, then use shadow ball!" eko called poochyena dodged and used shadow ball, poochyena made a ball of dark energy and shot it, zigzagoon has fainted, eko went to help chloe up, "are you okay?" eko asked, "yeah, Im fine, I was following the zigzagoon after seing it be abandoned by it's own trainer" chloe replied, "what, abandoned?" eko asked in a shock, "yeah, you never new that people were like that?" chloe answered. as they were walking in route 104 they ran into a wurmple, " aaw,its so cute!" chloe said in a burst, "oh no, its hurt, I think its a tailow's peck mark, lets get it to the poke center" eko worried, then wurmple fainted. at the poke center, wurmple and the others were being healed, eko and chloe were eating english muffins and some milo for breakfast, then, 'di, di, di, dil, di', nurse joy came out with all of chloe's and ecko's poke balls and wurmple, wurmple jumped onto chloe, "wurmple wur" she said, "oh yeah, lets battle" chloe replied, on the battle field, chloe sent out torchic "torchic"torchic said "oh so you chose torchic huh?" eko called, "yeah" chloe replied, "alright, use ember!" chloe called, torchic shot blazes of fire, at wurmple, wurmple used string shot "dodge it!" chloe called, torchic jumped, " now use peck", torchic chrged and pecked on wurmple, wurmple used bug bite, torchic took the damage, "alright go pokeball!" chloe called, she threw the pokeball at wurmple, the pokeball shook three times and stopped. "yay we caught a wurmple!" cloe said as she jumped into the air.

Chapter 2

in the forest eko recognised a bush shaking, "huh" eko said as he snuck to the bush and found a ralts, in the bush, it "I think he fainted a while a go" eko whispered, he held ralts in his hand, and ran back to the pokecenter, "ralts is poisoned by a stun spore, it will wake up soon" nurse joy reported, "oh, thanks for all your help, i hope she's okay..." blue replied. "she will take the minimum time of 1 weeks till waking up though... but there is a cure for it, its salveyo weed from clear spaces in deep rivers" nurse joy replied.
"but you'll need a pokemon that can swim in the water, like a mudkip!" she added, "so I need to catch a mudkip" eko thought, then chloe came with torchic, "where have you been!" she said angrily, "I ran back here to hand a badly injured ralts over to nurse joy" eko replied, he was very worried about how he will catch a mudkip, "well, I'll have to try!" he thought. then it was night time and he couldn't sleep, he was too worried about ralts, then he started to search what brawly in dewford town was going to use.

Since brawly was going to use fighting type moves, it would make sense that eko should evolve his tailow since fighting types are weak against flying types, although he was worried about arm thrust and seismic toss.

the next morning eko a chloe exited the pokecenter and headed near waters so that eko could catch a mudkip.

chapter 3

"this is an opportunity to train my tailow" eko thought, then a mudkip bombarded through the water as fast as light, it was swimming in its own whirl pool, "go tailow!' eko called as he threw tailows ball, tailow came out, "tailow" tailow said, "alright, tailow use aerial ace!" he called, tailow flew at mudkip while generating flying energy in its wing then attacked with it, mudkip took the damage. mudkip charged through the water to send a whirlpool flying at tailow, "dodge it!" eko called, "alright use aerial ace!" eko called then tailow used aerial ace and mudkip dodged it, then used rock throw, tailow took the damage "ok use wing attack!" eko called tailow charged making his wings glow then attacked with both of them, mudkip has nearly fainted, mudkip used protect mudkip's defence got higher "alright go pokeball!" eko called. after the pokeball shook twice mudkip bursted out it used portect again, mudkip has reached it maximum defence, " ok use aerial ace!" eko called, tailow used aerial ace, mudkip was damaged really badly then mudkip used growl, tailows attack fell, "alright go pokeball!!" eko called as he threw an empty pokeball at mudkip, the pokeball shook three times

The crooked chaos!

Can I trust this bridge? I looked over my shoulder, blood red eyes staring at me. I knew that I had to cross the bridge, and quickly,I dashed with a quick sprint. A cheetah pounced onto the bridge and the crooked bridge fell,the cheetah dropped into the filthy water like a rain drop. It was catching up to me while I was clinging onto the bridge. I was almost there, I leaped onto the other Island just in time for the bridge to finish it's fall. I had no way to get back...

Fraction Narrative Assessment

Learner: Isaac and William   Learning Coach: Mr Hattie          Date: 1 July 2016

Learning Area: Learning Habitat 1 - Mathematics

Learning Observed

I had Isaac and William come up to me with a problem. Isaac said “The math we do is too easy for me Mr Hattie”. William agreed with Isaac. I decided ‘well, if it hard you want then hard math you will get!’. So, I wrote a fraction on the board - ¾ - and both William and Isaac said “I know that one Mr Hattie.” I simply replied “What is that as a percentage and decimal?”. They both looked stumped. I said “use the site Khan Academy and see if you can teach each other how to solve this, do you have the Capabilities?”. They both went away and in 15 minutes they were back with huge smiles on their faces. “We did it!” and sure enough they had. William and Isaac used their Capabilities and Collaboration to teach themselves how to convert fractions to decimals and percentages. They showed the Key Competency of Managing Self and Thinking.

Evidence of learning

Isaac and William working out the different problems to practice their new skills.

Next Learning Steps

William and Isaac’s next learning steps are: Simplify fractions and finding equivalent fractions. Finding a fraction of a decimal.

William and Isaac's Coding Learning Story

Learners: William L & Isaac Learning Coach: T.Dillner           Date: 31.5.16

Learning Area: iExplore - Coding         Key Competency: Thinking, Participating & Contributing

Learning Observed

William and Isaac chose to have a go at Lego coding game ‘Fix the Factory’ called during iExplore. At first, William was working independently and Isaac showed some curiosity and sat down to see what was going on. The boys collaborated to correctly order the steps of the broken robot to move from the start of the factory floor to the end. They needed to go forward, backwards, sideways, and rotate. It took them approximately six mornings to complete the game and clock every level.

Evidence of learning

Next Learning Steps

Have a go at using Scratch to code a game or series of movements. Extend your capabilities by teaching Fix the Factory to another learner.

what I learnt today was how to sign light blue(push your hands up in the air then sign blue)

my goal is to learn all the dark colours.
