Learning Observed

With the Olympics looming we decided to explore and experience the Olympics. Gracy, Micah, Nima and Samantha were looking at discovering some sports that we have never heard of. The groups started with identifying all the sports that we do know and discussed some of our favourite sports Nima and Micah was excited about the soccer and Gracy and Samantha said swimming and gymnastics were their favourites. Our group started by showing our Capabilities with sports by naming all the Olympic sports that we know. Then we got time to look at all the sports that were in the Olympics. This brought up some interesting and Curious questions about some. The most Curious questions was how is handball an Olympic sport? The other learners agreed. I asked Micah what do you think handball is? He said the game with the tennis ball and the line on the ground. So we played a video that was linked out from the site we were looking at. All the learners were so excited to see what Handball really was. This led to us going to the Multispace and developing our Capabilities further by playing Handball. This was so much fun. The Key Competency that was being used were Participating and Contributing.

Evidence of learning

This was the reflection that we created about our learning.
