That can be done in a single pour. I have someone in the process of doing that now. I'll try to post a picture after a bit, it's dark here now.If you use pump for wall and patio, that is two separate rentals.

Here's a picture of what the concrete contractor is doing at my place. The forms are not completed yet, but he put up the outside forms, filled in behind them with dirt (see note below), then dug the dirt back out for the wall thickness. It will be a single piece of concrete forming the footer, wall and patio.
The note: The "dirt" is what is called "select fill" around here. It is a mixture of sand and clay, it compacts well, is easy to dig, and keeps it's shape well. It's used for all the foundation slabs around here.
you could have bent bars that go to the top of the wall and turn into slab. Make sure rebar is sized for this extra forceIs there a way to run rebar above the wall, and tie the slab into it? Not sure how to form the slab edge, and finish it..
