C.A.T time

C.A.T time

This week a few lucky learners are able to go to the very first C.A.T time ever! This week a few learners was supposed to do C.A.T time for last week but sadly, Ms Wilkes isn't here and we can't do it because she's got the plan for everything. I want to finish all my work this week so I can go for C.A.T time 2 times in 1 week. I wonder what Ms Wilkes is planning for C.A.T time right now and maybe she's planning something that everyone likes which might be Minecraft or other things but I really want to know what Ms Wilkes has planned for C.A.T time because it might be fun and interesting.

Identity Day

This week at school there will be this day called Identity Day. I am really excited because we get to wear something that represents our country! I like the idea of Identity day because once people wear something related to their culture, you feel more interested in learning about it and then you can find out what culture people are. I am so excited about Identity to find out about people's identity and also seems fun to wear something from your culture and wear it for the whole day at school. I am really excited about Identity Day and I know it'll be really fun!

Chocolate is a treat that everybody loves to eat, but do you know how chocolate is made? Well I'm going to tell you how chocolate is made.Chocolate is made on trees! Cocoa beans which form the foundation of the chocolate are actually seeds from the fruit of the cacao tree, which grows near the Equator. The seeds grow inside a pod-like fruit and are covered with white pulp.

How is chocolate made? To make chocolate, cocoa farmers crack open the pods, scoop out the seeds, ferment them and dry them.

The beans are shipped to factories, where manufacturers inspect and clean them, then roast and grind them into a paste called chocolate liquor. More pressing, rolling, mixing with sugar and other ingredients, and heating and cooling yields of delicious chocolate.

So this is how chocolate is made! Thanks for reading.

Personal Identity iExperience

Learner: Neha                                                   Date: October 2015

Learning Area: iExperience - Identity                             Learning Coach: John Dyer

Learning Observed

A good afternoon of learning in which we discussed what identity is and what it means to each of us. I became involved in a conversation with Nisita and Neeha around our names, their meaning and whether our names impact on our identity. We talked about the meaning behind our name and its significance to our identity. We also discussed elements of our identity that we are born with vs those that are learned as we grow. Neha demonstrated maturity and confidence when sharing her thoughts and opinions. Well Done!

Evidence of learning Neha and Nisita spoke with confidence about personal identity and what it means to them. What a great way to start the term. You can be very happy with yourselves. Well done.

Key Competencies/Vision Principles being demonstrated

Thinking - Making sense of information, experiences and ideas. Using language, symbols, and texts - Making sense of words, numbers and images. Managing self - knowing when to lead, when to follow and when to act independently. Relating to others - Interacting effectively in a range of contexts. Participating and contributing - Being actively involved in school and the community Curious Collaborative Connected Capable

Next Learning Steps

I would encourage Neha to look more at the meaning of her name, its origin and the names of others. It would be interesting to see if there are any observable links between identity traits and names, and whether people become stereotypes of their names or whether it has nothing to do with it. Let’s see what results in the coming lessons!
