Arnav's Speech Learning Story

Learner: Arnav     Learning Coach: T.Dillner           Date: 18.8.15

Learning Area: Literacy - Oral Language

Learning Observed

This term all learners in Learning Habitat 1 had to deliver a speech or a poem. As Arnav is Year 6, he had to compose and present a speech. He chose to do his speech on the use of devices. It is a nerve wracking thing to stand and deliver a speech to an audience of peers, but Arnav tried his best to not let this affect him. I was pleased to see Arnav show more confidence than he has when presenting in the past.

Key Competencies/Vision Principles

Arnav was assessed against all four of our Ormiston Primary Vision Principles. He was able to best demonstrate being connected to the audience by mostly using a clear voice and curious by selecting a topic that was easy for the audience to be engaged with.

Next Learning Steps

Carry out more research to add content and substance to the speech. Practise in front of a mirror to work on eye contact and volume of voice. Video yourself and watch to self-assess. Seek feedback from others during planning and writing stages in order to increase collaboration.

The two friends

There was a dragon named Toothless. One day he was walking along the river and he heard a noise.He stopped and started to look around for the noise.Toothless noticed something furry in the bush.He went closer and saw it was a monkey. The dragon said Hi my name is Toothless. I am a black dragon and I can shoot lightning out of  my mouth .The Monkey replied Hi my name is Pessy.I am yellow and green.Pessy and Toothless started to talk and became friends. After a while they decided to play hide and seek.Toothless said”i will hide first” Pessy agreed, Toothless asked Pessy to close his eye and count to 20 so that he can hide. Pessy closed his eye and started counting while Toothless ran to hide. Toothless hid in a cave and covered the cave with leaves and vines,it took Pessy hours to find Toothless.At last Pessy found Toothless and it was Pessys turn to hide. Toothless closed his eyes and counted one to twenty ,Pessy ran to hide, he climbed a tall tree and hid there. Toothless went to see if Pessy was in a boat but Pessy was not in a boat . Toothless spent hours looking for Pessy but couldnt find him. At last Toothless gave up and Pessy climbed down from the tree, both were very hungry as it was lunch time. They decided to eat something. Pessy said lets go and eat mango. Pessy and Toothless started to look for a mango tree ,after a long hunt, they found a mango tree full of ripe mangoes. Pessy quickly climbed the tree and picked some mangoes. Both sat under a mango tree and they ate lots of mangoes. After lunch they were very sleepy. Toothless said he is going to sleep as he is very tired. Pessy said he is tired too. Both layed down and soon they were fast asleep.When Toothless woke up. he could not find Pessy. He thought Pessy is again playing hide and seek. Toothless started to look for Pessy,he looked every where but couldnt find Pessy.It was getting late afternoon and toothlesswas getting fasturated as he couldnt find Pessy.He called him but there was no reply, Toothless was very worried because it was getting dark. Toothless called his friends to help him out.All his friends search the bush but couldnt find Pessy, Toothless saw something on the ground, it was footprints.Toothless called his friends to investigate. They all followed the footprint and  saw a big fenced. They all couldn’t believe that there is a big fence to crossover. As soon as Toothless touch the fence to cross, he got electric shock. Toothless was okay and said we are meant to jump over the fence. They all had a quick chat and decided that they have to get a ladder to cross the fence. One of the them said they have a ladder at home. One of his friends went to get a ladder from his house, but his dad willing accompanied him to rescue  Pessy. When they reach the fence,one friend hold the ladder and one after another they jumped over the fence. Toothless was very excited to see Pessy he was able to save Pessy from the cage. Toothless and Pessy was so happy to see each other and they worked back happily. And when they reach their home,they felt like there is no place like home.They had a happy ending for both.

Daryl Sabin's Inspiration from NYLD Learning Story - August 2015

Learners: Rahi & Arnav                                             Learning Coach: D Wilkes

Learning Area: KCs and Literacy                                                Date: Aug 5

Learning Observed

Rahi and Arnav collaborated together to provide a wonderful and inspiration component to the ‘Leadership Experience’ as a long awaited follow up to the NYLD that all the Year 6s attended in Term 2.  The boys co-constructed a google slide presentation and speech (which can be found in the Leadership Experience presentation) all about Daryl Sabin.  They sparked the curiosity of the crowd with the strong message of ‘stuff happens’ and ‘believe in yourself’’.  The slide show showed the amazing pictures of mr Sabin’s recovery from a serious brain injury.  They showed us how his father’s love and belief transformed a young man who couldn’t talk or eat for himself into someone who walked and talked to us at NYLD.

Key Competencies/Vision Principles

While Arnav and Rahi collaborated they made direct and indirect connections to their experience at NYLD.  With support, prompting and guidance they were able to relate to others and manage themselves responsibly at times.  They were enthusiastic and responded to changes with some resilience.
