Learning Area:  Literacy                                                                              Date: Aug 2015

Learning Observed

This term all Year 5-6 learners in LH1 wrote a speech on a topic of their choosing.  Oral language is an important skill and Krleil refined his knowledge of some language features to enhance both the speaking and writing of his oral presentation.  His speech about ‘Why we shouldn’t give up’ demonstrated his growing ability to be persuasive both through the content and delivery. Karleil learned about emotive language features such as the use of adjectives; persuasive features such as rhetorical questions, repetition, quotations, statistics, contrasts and lists of three; and varied sentence structures like statements, questions, exclamations and commands.  He learned about the structure of a speech including introductions, endings, sequencing words and how to make his point clear. Karleil also explored how to creatively add additional details to make the argument stronger. This was based around the ‘hamburger method’ of speech writing.  It was wonderful to see Karleil do his persuasive speech on a topic that he is passionate about.  He did his speech without cue cards.

Key Competencies/Vision Principles

Karleil cultivated the curiosity of others with his speech about not giving up- he clearly believes it! He prompted everyone to wonder about their own perseverance.  He connected with the audience using emotive language and quotes - in our hapu group. He collaborated with other learners while practicing his speech and responded to feedback and in discussing, writing and providing feedback and feed forward to the other learners when they presented their speech or poem.  His public speaking capability has grown as a result of this experience.

my speech 

A The brave man is not he who does not feel afraid, but he who conquers that fear.

people give up, in life ,in work and school but I think everyone should have equal chance at life.

Yes, you may not be rich, you may not even be in a house but it is all about learning it is hard but if you are living on the side of the road look at yourself you are unclean and the only way that can fix it is hard work and school.  

I play rugby and I had a lead injury but I am still going

once I was punch in the face more than five times in one day

and kicked in the stomach by my own sister but and here I am speaking to you right now forget the past live the future.     

  

when most people have a chance to change their future they just pick it up and just throw it away, like it was nothing, well I tell you now if you keep on doing that your future is destroyed so once you have a chance to change your future change it make the most of your life whether it is small or big grow your Ideas and you will become more the you Imagine

and this goes to the children work hard make you parents proud don’t end up homeless or poor don’t be like the people that have already destroyed their future remember don’t give up you will always have people there to support you, your wife your parents and your family,

It always seems impossible until it's done.

         

NYLD iMovie Learning Story - August 2015

Learners:  Jessica, Nisita & Karleil                                             Learning Coach: D Wilkes

Learning Area: KCs and Literacy                                                Date: Aug 5

Learning Observed

Jessica, Karleil and Nisita collaborated together to provide a wonderful and inspirational component to the ‘Leadership Experience’ as a long awaited follow up to the NYLD that all the Year 6s attended in Term 2.  The learners co-constructed a presentation and talk about the highlights from the NYLD day (which can be found in the Leadership Experience presentation).  They sparked the curiosity of the crowd with the strong message of leadership.  The learners loved watching the video and most walked away thinking about the leaders who have influenced them.  Practicing their public speaking, writing, presenting and leading was what they did while the audience enjoyed their entertaining iMovie.

Evidence of learning

Key Competencies/Vision Principles

While Jessica, Nisita and Karleil collaborated they made direct and indirect connections to their experience at NYLD and their knowledge of leaders/leadership.  They related to others, managed themselves responsibly and participated enthusiastically on the day.  They were collaborative and responded to changes with resilience.  The preparation for the presentation was great and their short blurbs were a nice finishing touch.

Next Learning Steps
