Karis, Samantha, Eric & Micah- iExperience Connected Challenge Learning Story

Learners:  Karis, Samantha, Eric & Micah    Learning Coach: D Wilkes          Date: 5.2.16

Learning Area: iExperience - Connected Challenge   Key Competency: Relating to Others

Learning Observed

This term our focus is on how we can be connected citizens. In order to launch this the learners participated in a ‘Connected Challenge’ (see below).  In this challenge Karis, Samantha, Eric and Micah worked in a team and collaborated on various connected tasks.  They first had to look at the challenge and devise a plan- which tasks would they do first?!  It was great to see the group negotiate and discuss their options- even distributing the tasks.  At one point Karis and Samantha worked on the connected A-Z task while Micah and Eric worked on the collaborative game.  Karis showed some real leadership in this task Micah and Samantha showed curiosity while asking questions.  Some of the tasks they worked on included- the Curious challenge- coming up with questions for the learning coaches, the Connected challenge- writing an acrostic for the word connected and the Curious task of finger spelling their names in NZSL.  The logo challenge was a great example of their team work.  There was some great role modeling, strategy and collaboration in this team- Ka Pai!

How to make Hot Chocolate

by samantha

What We Need:

2 pints semi-skimmed milk

• 2 tablespoons Horlicks
• 2 tablespoons cornflour
• 3 tablespoons icing sugar
• 4 tablespoons quality organic cocoa
• 100 g good-quality dark chocolate (70% cocoa solids) , finely grated
• 1 pinch ground cinnamon
• 1 pinch sea salt

Method

This hot chocolate is off the scale. It’s so simple to make and is much better than that shop-bought stuff you get, which is often full of rubbish and probably hasn’t got much chocolate in it anyway. I don’t want you to feel cheated, I want you to have the real thing… life’s too short not to.

Pour the milk into a large pan, and bring almost to the boil over a medium heat. 

Meanwhile, add all the chocolate mix ingredients to a large jar and give it a good shake to combine. You need around 10 heaped tablespoons of the chocolate mix for this amount of milk. Simply spoon the chocolate mix into the hot milk, give it a good whisk and leave to bubble away for a few minutes before serving. You’re looking for that gorgeous, thick, almost claggy, knockout texture.
