Ohm's Blogging Learning Story

Learner: Ohm                           Learning Coach:  DWilkes                        Date: Term 4

Learning Area: Literacy

Learning Observed

Ohm began blogging shortly after he became a learner at OrmPS.  His blog has various posts on a diverse range of topics and he also has a number of comments from his blog buddy and other classmates.  We spent time learning to write quality comments using a ‘comment sandwich’ in Term 2 and Term 3 so Ohm is still developing his capability to do this on his classmates blogs and thus is beginning to connect authentically with other learners.  Ohms posts are evidence of how he connects with the things in which he enjoys, whether at home or at school.  He has learned to embed images into posts which enhances their readability.  Ohm has enjoyed reading our Learning Habitat 1 blog as well and has collaborated to construct some posts with his hapu group.  It has been fantastic to review his posts since she started blogging to see how his capability at writing for an audience is improving. His most recent post, when he took Cooper the Kea hapu group mascot home was one of his best as it is his longest and most detailed post to date.  Many of his posts demonstrate his passion, values and sense of adventure.

Me and Coopers adventure

First me and cooper stepped in the house and went straight up stairs and I changed my clothes,me and cooper watched T.V,first we watched The Thundermans  for like 15 minutes and then we watched Teen Titans Go for 10 minutes and the we got bored so then I wanted to play soccer so we played soccer but cooper won.Then we played with the nerf guns so all we had to do is to hit the target,first person(Bird) to do it wins but cooper won again.After we had a staring contest,I said 3,2,1 GO! And we stared,it was still going on and then all of a sudden something came in my eye and I blinked and cooper won again 3 times in a row.Then cooper found my piggy bank and I opened it so cooper could see,then i closed it and i went to the bathroom and cooper put his wing in front of it and took half of my money and put it o my bed.So then I came out of the bathroom and I saw him so I out him in timeout and then after 5 minutes I took him out of timeout and said do not do it again.Then finally we went to bed and I said I my not poor.
