Mohammed's Creating a film-iExplore Stage 2-Narrative Learning Story 23.03.15

Learner:  Mohammed Khan, Aleena and Ashmira    Learning Coach: Margaret Patrick Date: 23rd March 2015

Learning Area: Communication- Creating a film -Stage 2

Learning Observed

Mohammed has been working on making a video of the new school in 2 languages as a means to introduce visitors to our wonderful, innovative environment. Mohammed completed his storyboard but needed to collaborate with some other keen learners who could do the spoken English version while he focussed on the translation to NZSL. With NZSL support he approached Aleena and Ashmira who are starting the NZSL club to see if they were interested. They were and so the three of them set up a shared document and have written the script to go with each prioritised area of the school. On Monday 23rd March, they met with Kaori or is Deaf teacher to discuss the best way to include the NZSL translations. They decided to use Aleena’s IPad and film the intro together then film each part of the school with the girls fronting the spoken version and inserting Mohammed signing the NZSL translation. The three of them shared the script doc with Kaori and she spent today translating it, then during iExperience time, she worked with Mohammed. The grammar is so different in NZSL compared to English so it takes time to translate. Mohammed needs to be filmed separately and the three of them are ready to start filming on site. This  has been been an in depth iExplore for Mohammed and it was so encouraging for him to be congratulated by the girls for the work he had done on preparing the storyboard. The girls have experience filming and editing that they can share their skills with Mohammed. Congratulations!

Learning Observed

Mohammed participated in the KDEC sports day.He attempted all the events.These included: 100m sprint, long jump, and the vortex throw. Due to the rain the rest of the events were cancelled so he missed out on the discus, shot and  high jump. He was a place getter in the 100m heats and had a really good time which earned him a place in the finals. Then the heavens opened and the rain came down. Unfortunately the rest of the events were cancelled. Mohammed handled it very well. He will have to wait to challenge the record time for the next year age group up in 2016.He was so proud of his efforts. We had practiced how to start the sprints at school during PE time. He powered out of the start and you can in the photo how he was using his arms and his eyes were focused ahead. He was motivated to push himself as he had Taivero 2 lanes away. He caught up and passed all the other competitors in his heat.

Learning Area:Social Sciences-Place and Environment

Learning Observed

The learners and LCs in LH 1 thought that if we had a treaty it would help everyone manage the way we interacted with others in our beautiful new learning habitat. One of the key values at OrmPS is showing respect. The learners explored the meaning of  “respect” in three  different ways. Respect for ourselves Respect for others Respect for our environment. Everyone agreed on the final selection of criteria and these were printed out and displayed on the wall of LH1. Mohammed is signing LH1’s treaty and knows that he is making a promise to the other learners that he will try to make sure he is worthy of being a member of LH1 and that he can manage his behaviour and be respectful.

He prioritised the areas in the school people he thought people needed to  know about. He then made a list of things in each areas that needed to be highlighted. Mohammed interviewed Koral Doidge in the office to find out what people needed to do on arrival as well. I explained that he needed to use  a storyboard to record this information.
