Lim Hor's iExplore Learning Story

Learner: Lim Hor     Learning Coach:  T.Dillner          Date: Term 2

Learning Area: iExplore - Football

Learning Observed

When he started at Ormiston Primary School, Lim Hor began an inquiry at iExplore time. He chose to do this about football. Lim Hor’s first step was writing questions about what he would like to find out about football. He needed some guidance with this as he was writing questions that he already knew the answer to. We talked together about how he didn’t know who invented football and that was his first question to answer. As he continued, Lim Hor found out information and recorded it on his daily log sheet. He then used this information to start making a poster. He decided that it would be fun to have flaps with the question on the top and the information underneath. Unfortunately, Lim Hor didn’t get this finished which was sad as he had a lot of time to work on it. He presented the work that he had to our Hapu group on the 3.7.15

Key Competencies/Vision Principles

Lim Hor was curious once he had some direction about how to ask and answer questions. He wanted to show this curiosity by adding extra parts to his presentation - he had started making a clay soccer ball too. Lim Hor asked me a lot of questions during the process (Thinking). Lim Hor shared presentation ideas with other learners - he shared his idea of lifting the flaps with one other person, and used the idea of having something made of clay (which another learner had done). This showed that he had some ability to collaborate on an individual project (Relating to Others).
