Learning Observed

The year 13 statistics class from Ormiston Senior College (OSC) offered our school a chance to participate in an experiment. The experiment is called “The Marshmallow” test. This is where the learners were given a marshmallow and told that they can eat it now but if they wait 15 minutes they will get a second marshmallow. This is to see who would rather have the immediate satisfaction of the marshmallow or who would sure patients get the second one.  and Maanvi, Ronav and Towai were very excited that they were getting marshmallows. They were very Curious about why they had marshmallows. During their wait time the conversations were around the different possibilities about what they OSC students might be looking at. Maanvi, Ronav and Towai were looking like they were going to eat the marshmallow early and the others talked them out of it so that they didn’t miss out on the second marshmallow. This was showing the Key Competency Respect for other and the Vision Principle of Collaboration. Maanvi, Ronav and Towai really enjoyed the experience.
