LI: To tell time

This week for maths, we had to create a poster about how to tell time. We created a random time from Time/Clock face generator and wrote about how to tell that time in groups. In MY poster, I wrote about how to tell any clock and how to tell this clock. This clock is 1:30 because the Minute hand is on 6 and the hour hand is in the middle of 1 and 2.

KoS | Inquiry | Safety & Emotions | Personal Strengths | Touch

LI: To Identify personal Strengths

In Inquiry this week, we talked about keeping ourselves safe during different situations that channel our emotions. We learnt about Personal Strenghts, Emotions and safe activities, Types of Touch and Safe Situations. 

Personal Strengths 

Personal Strength are things you are good at. For Example, If you are good at art, Then Art would be your Personal Strength. I am good at devices and I like mechanics. Those are some of MY personal Strengths. What are yours?

Emotions and Safe Activities

Emotions can and mostly will make people do unsafe things. This usually ends with people getting hurt .A Situation that makes me happy is when I get to play in the backyard with my siblings but I get angry when it starts to rain when we're playing. Something safe for me to do when i'm angry is sit down and have a drink of water. 

Types of touch

There are 3 different types of touch. Touches we like, Touches that hurt us and weird touches that confuse us and normally want to stop. Touches we like are hugs, high 5's and fist bumps usually. Touches that hurt are normally kicks, Punches and slaps. Touches that Confuse us can be Wet Willies (When Somebody licks their finger and puts it in your ear), Wedgies and if somebody rubs your face. 

Safe Situations

A Safe Situation is, For Example: You Ride your bike at the park while your parents are watching on a bench. A Safe Situation is a situation you know you aren't in danger. An unsafe Situation is: You walk to the shops at night on your own and somebody starts following you. That is an unsafe situation because they could be a stranger and if your on your own you cant be supervised and protected in a situation like that.

The Time I hid under my covers.

L.I To identify the different strategies we use as readers.

In Reading we were learning about the strategies that we had picked when we did GKQ. We did GKQ (General Knowledge Questions) to see who knew the most questions right and if you got the question right then you get to pick one of the reading strategies that the teacher chose. If you got the question wrong then the question will change and the person that got the question wrong will sit down with the rest of the teams remain standing waiting for the next questions.
