Sadeen, Selestine & Louisa's Scratch+Makey Makey Learning Story - September 2015

Learner: Sadeen, Selestine & Louisa                                          Learning Coach :DWilkes      Date:  Sept 2015- Week 8-10                                                      Learning Area: Technology

Learning Observed

For the past few weeks the learners have been engaged in an innovation station!  The learners were given the choice of 4 provocations which included: creating an Ormibot from scratch, designing an object in Tinkercad to print in the 3D printer, designing a Science experiment or designing a series of code using Scratch and Makey Makey each of which would develop their capabilities.  Sadeen, Selestine and Louisa enjoyed the first week of ‘discovery learning’ where they had some choices of tasks to complete to help them get familiar with the coding programme ‘Scratch’ and the extension kit ‘Makey Makey’ and make connections to their prior knowledge.  They watched tutorials, tried out their predictions and played around with the various affordances of the equipment and programme.  They used the Makey Makey and Scratch to create a piano.  Henry also supported these learners with using the Makey Makey- great collaboration.  For Week 9 and 10 the girls worked collaboratively to design and create a piano game using the Scratch programme and Makey Makey equipment.  In order to piece together the code successfully there was a lot of trialling and prototyping which showed the resilience of Selestine, Louisa and Sadeen.  They showed their curiosity, thinking and managing self skills by looking at what others had done and making connections to what they wanted to achieve.  See some of their learning below!

Next Learning Steps

add more code to the game and share it on the LH1 website and/or teach another learner how to code using Scratch complete your design plan more neatly show the code to your family at home keep working on it until it is perfect- use an iBreak?!

Week 10 what I wich. Blog post

           What I wish in the holidays
Hi I can't what for the holidays. Do you know what I wish in the to weeks  holidays is that I go to my favourite country Jordan. I, I mean I haven't been to Jordan for about (6) years and I keep on thinking what I can do in the to weeks holidays when I came with a grate idea of going to Jordan that is if we can. If we can't I will be imagining of seating in my grandmas living room and playing with the cards. Or if she is cooking my favourite food malkhia. And at night time imagining having here in your room and reading you a lovely story about red raiding hood. And if we do get to go to Jordan I will run to my grandma and give here lots and lots of hags I will give all of the people that I missed in Jordan and when I get there I will help here with cleaning the house and so that's what I wish in the holidays so what do you wish.
