Harry's iExplore Rock Learning Story

By Anonymous

Learner: Harry L          Learning Coach: Bex Remington         Date: 1 April 2015
Learning Area: iExplore - Rocks
Learning Observed

One of the first activities the learners of Habitat 1 took part in was painting a rock that would be placed somewhere in the school grounds.  The rocks were painted and have been waiting for their placement.  Today we decided it was time to put the rocks in their place.  Harry was excited about finding somewhere for his rock.  The habitat chose to put them around the trees in our front garden.  When Harry took his rock out he wasn’t sure which tree to choose.  He asked me where he should put it and I told him the choice was completely his.  He finally chose to put his rock near his friends and in a place he could ‘still see it.’
Evidence of learning
These are pictures of Harry finding a space in the garden for his rock:

Key Competencies/Vision Principles
Harry demonstrated the ability to relate to others as he created a social interaction around the rocks and chose to place his rock with his friends.  In his discussion with the learners around the tree they all decided together how the rocks would best be place and collaborated to action their plan.  Harry felt connected to his rock and was proud of having it displayed in the school garden.
Next Learning Steps

  • Bring family and friends to see his rock
  • Watch the tree he placed it under, grow over the next few years
  • Create another artefact that he could find a home for outside - either at school or home

By Anonymous
                                     The CCD Trip To Mind Lab On Thursday 6th July 2017 it was CCD it is an acronym for connecting community day!  There were  6 things to go to, mind lab, master chefs,  survive in the wild,  anberry farm, drama, breakout ed, but some of them have a costing, e.g Mind Lab costs, $20.  The one I chose was Mind Lab I chose it because I wanted to learn more about robotics!   So there were 2 jobs to do, there was the reporter, recorder, and photography.
