This week all Learning Habitat 4 learners went to a workshop held by Transfominds. In this workshop they learned that if they are keen listeners they will end up being powerful learners.
Firstly the learners were introduced to the learning and were asked to brainstorm some strategies that good listeners use. Next the learners were introduced to role play where some learners were chosen to play poor listeners and good listeners.
At the end of the workshop the learners were asked to describe what makes a powerful learners and list the listening skills learned in the workshop.
Three learners gave outstanding answers to the question of “what makes a powerful learner?” and won a term scholarship to one of the courses offered by Transfominds. The winners were Katelyn, Park-Heng, and Muhammad. Well done!
A big thank you to Transfominds for providing us with this workshop.

Recently we were invited by Ormiston Junior College to see the Bubblegum Dance Group perform their international hip-hop routines. This was in support of the dance groups trip this year to the United States of America to perform internationally.
The Bubblegum Dance Group gave a mighty performance that was enjoyed by all our learners. During their intermission, the group asked for volunteers to have an impromptu dance-off competition that involved the dance group, learning coaches, and learners.
The learners were given 2 minutes to learn a dance move from the Bubblegum Dance Group and then had to dance in front of a full audience. Darius represented LH4 in this competition and rose to the challenge, competing against a wide range of learners that included Ormiston Junior College, and winning the dance-off.
Well done Darius - we are all so proud of you!
