Mixed word problem

 This week I learnt how to use brackets for math.

First there were word problems that we had to finish. When we wrote the answer we had to use brackets to tell the reader we are doing that equation first.

Lastly I wrote the amount as a sentence.

L.I to write word problems in order using brackets.

 

 

Safety plan

 For inquiry we checked out the hazards, risk, and consequences that could happen during making a fire and smores.

First, we discussed different hazards and risks. Next we wrote it down. A hazard for the fire is the fire itself and the consequences are getting burnt.

Then, we discussed some consequences that could happen. Consequences can be how can we prevent it, whose responsibility is it, and the emergency plan.

Mr Ogilvie lit up the fire and then demonstrated how to roast the marshmallows. After he demonstrated we made our own smores.

After, we made another safety plan for making the smores with the fire. We repeated the same process but wrote down different hazards, risks and consequences. Then we made smores.

Making connection

LI-To identify and describe connections.

 Connections are similar and relate to text to self, text to text, text to world.

Text to Self relates to actions between the book and the yourself. For example 

the mouse is confident to the Grufallo. My connection is I am confident to the teacher when I show feedback.

Text to Text relates to action from the book to another book. For example the mouse tries to get out of being eaten. My connection is the gingerbread man runs away to get out of being eaten.

Text to World relates to the actions between the book and whats happening in the world. For example

The mother squirrel collects food for her children. My connection is mothers in the world go to the shops to collect food to feed their children.

These 3 things help people to understand what they are reading. 

 

Setting description

A setting description describes what a place looks ,smells, feels, sound like.

When describing the look of something people use adjectives like: yellow, shiny and more.

To describe the feeling of something people use adjectives like: cold, damp, jagged and more. This helps people to understand the feeling of something.

To describe the smell people use adjectives like: mud, fresh and more. This helps people to understand the scent of something.

When describing the sound of something people use adjectives like: fast, quick and more.

A setting description helps people to link to that setting is because more information is covered about that setting.

L.I to write a setting description.

Risk & Hazards

L.I: to assess the likelihood

This week we were learning about hazards and risk.

First we had to give each situation a number that relates to low, likely, possible, elevated, extreme risk.

Second we wrote consequences to go with the situatioan. Consequences are something that results from the situasituation.

Our group discuss the risk if it was low, likely, or extreme risk.t

LI: to assess the likelihood

Multiplication word problems and coding

For math I learned how to make multiplication word problems.
First I made stories for the multiplication word problems. I used the group size and the number of groups to make the stories. Second I coded the answers to say incorrect or correct. Last I wrote the answer to see if the coding worked.
L.I to identify and solve multiplication word problems

Hazards & Risks

L.I to demonstrate prior knowledge.

My group learnt how to identify risks and hazards.

First, we discussed what hazards and risks are.  Hazards are something that can be used to cause injuries or pain, and risks are the possibility that something will happen to cause harm or pain.

Then, We focused on finding four hazards at home, four hazards at school, four hazards in sport and four hazards in our community.

After that, we worked on identifying the risks that the hazards cause.  We put our understanding of each risk and hazard into a google slide.

The google slide shows what the hazard is and the risks that the hazard can cause.  The hazards that we put for school are:Bookshelf, Glue gun, Being late, Not completing work, and some others.

The purpose of this activity is to understand the risks that hazards can cause.

Character Descriptions

Character descriptions describe the character. There are three areas to cover in a character description, personality, appearance, and experience.

The appearance describes the face and hair, the body, the clothes.

The experience describes where they live, their friends, interest, hobbies, talents, secrets, and achievements.

The personality describes what kind of person they are, how they behave, what they say, what makes them interesting and different.

The character description uses figurative and literal language. This activity helps people to write a character description using the appearance, experience and personality.

L.I to write a Character Description. 

The Grufallo

Visualizing is a reading activity that uses coming up with a picture of something in someones head.

The Grufallo story needs people to visualize how the Grufallo looks.

Visualizing is a good activity that people use to understand the books.

LI:to visualize the main ideas of a story.
