What it's like to be a twin #5

This is the last and final blog for the 'what its like to be a twin' series and i call this blog 'the twin fever' so as you might think if one twin is sick the other will also be sick but that not true, or at least to me but anyway I'm at school writing my blog while my sister is sick at home and well i fell so good while my sister is well sleeping because she needs a lot of rest, she's also going to the doctors this afternoon. Also today new people came and i made friends with them, they are so kind. I told them i had a twin at first they didn't believe me but soon they did even Ash went to find a photo to get proof, but anyway that all from the "what its like to be a twin" series remember to check to find out what next weeks topic is!

What its like to be a twin #4

This is my blog post for Week 2 Term 4 and this is about reflection so on Monday i got my mac cases and on Tuesday me and my sis thought of something called 'the twin telepathy challenge' and we were supposed to think of the same thing the first word we got right and the second we didn't then my friend Divya told me a trick, I'm not gonna tell you or else you'll find out but it worked. We tried it out at the end of the day and it worked and now i know the trick thanks to Divya and thats why she's my best friend. Now today Im gonna do the trick to the rest of my friends maybe even the learning coaches! Now anyway thats the end of my blog 'What its like to be a twin #4' Next week will be the end of the 'What its like to be a twin' series so make sure to check out the last one!

What it's like to be a twin #3

What its like to be a twin #3

So this week is the first week of this term and i have already gotten over 10 mistake for who i am which means people are calling me Jessica. I don't know what to write about now so i guess ill just tell you what happened in the holidays so over the holidays i think about 20 people asked if 

we were twins. It was quiet annoying because they should know, we look exactly they same, it is so obvious. Now for the interesting part so I was face timing my friend and when my sister said something my friend Divya thought it was me though that only happened two times out of the 40 times we ever face timed in the holidays but anyway she should have gotten our voices wrong. One because we sound so different, two is because she's my best friend. Thats all from what its like to be a twin #3, remember to check my blog next week for what is like to be a twin #4!

Ashmira, Divya, Jessica, Johanna, Jasonta & Aleena's Ko Te Pu Learning Story

Learners: Ashmira, Divya, Jessica, Jasonta, Johanna & Aleena     Learning Coach: T.Dillner           Date: 14.10.15

Learning Area: The Arts - Music (Preparing for OrmPS Official Opening)

Learning Observed and Vision Principles

For the Ormiston Primary School official opening the learners in LH1 had to learn a waiata with actions. To prepare for this, some of the NZSL Club members and Deaf learners spent some of their iBreaks working on the signs so they would be able to teach it. Ashmira, Divya, Johanna, Jessica, Jasonta and Aleena all chose to lead LH1 in the song Ko Te Pu. The video below shows that they are developing their capabilities in both learning new signs, and communicating these to a wider range of people. All of these girls demonstrated curiosity regarding the fact that they chose to spend their iBreak time learning new signs and opting to have the extra time to prepare. They are also showing the at OrmPS we value the official languages of Aotearoa New Zealand, by honouring the connection to Te Reo Maori and NZSL in this song.

Next Learning Steps

Lead the habitat regularly in our practices. Do an iExplore around other songs or poems that connect English and NZSL or Te Reo and NZSL.
