Time

There are three m's and it is mean, median, and mode. 
Mean is known as average.

To do the mean you add all your numbers up then divide. To divide you check how many numbers are there and that's the number you divide. 

Median, if you have five numbers you make them least to greatest. You choose the number in the middle and that is the median. If you have an even set of numbers you choose the two middle numbers then add it and divide it by two.

Mode, you write the numbers least to greatest. After that you choose the numbers that appear the most.

LI investigate units of time.

The gruffalo

This week I have been reading a book called the gruffalo.  In the story I had to find facts and opinion.

I wrote down mutiple situations that were in the book and decided whether each is a fact or opinion.

After that I created a charater trait for each caracter. I wrote down adjectives to describe each character and wrote examples to prove our inference.

For this activity I really enjoyed doing this and learnt how to do a character trait.  Inferring is educated guess on something using keyword and facts from the book.

Setting description

Setting description is used to describe a place in a book or story. 

When writing a setting descripition consider the smell, look, feel and sound.  When discribing the setting it needs to be discribed in detail.

When discribing feel, imagine what the setting feels like. For example use adjictives like, ruff, and prickley.

When discribing sound, think of what you may hear or how the sound acts. For example use adjictives like, loudly, and bepping.

When discribing smell, think of what you smell in the setting. For example use adjictives like, smelly, yuck, and bad.

Setting description is helpful to people reading the story because they are imagining the place and what is happening .

Inquriy

LI. To assess the likehood.

This week we learnt about ow, likely, possible, elevated and extreme risk.

As a group we rated situations from 1 to 5 on risk. An example of a situation we rated 5 (extreme) is, “A year 1 student running around the room with a pair of scissors in each hand.” 

After rating the situation we made our own situations.  An example of a situation we creative 2 is (likely) “running down a hill”.

This helped us learn about  low, likely, possible, elevated and extreme risk.

Risk and hazard

LI. To demonstrate prior knowledge.

This week I have been learning about hazards and risks. 

Hazards are things that could cause harm. For example chairs and a road. Risks are  harm from hazards . For example the bike is the hazard and falling over is a risk.

As a group we had to find hazard for school, home, sport, and community. We had to pick a hazard that another group didn’t have. 

After finding the hazards we had to make posters about the risks and hazards. We had to find risks for each hazard

Writing

A character description tries to create an image by a character's appearance, personality and experience.

When describing the appearance it needs to include the face, hair, clothes, body and useful words/phrases.When describing the personality it need to include what kind of person is the character, what do the character say, how does the character behave and what makes the character interesting or different. When describing the experience it needs to include where do the character live, who are the character's friends or family, do the character have any hobbies, talents, and more, do the character have any achievements or secret.

A character description also uses both figurative and literal languages. 
Figurative language is unlocking hidden meanings. Literal language is a direct point and no hidden meanings.

The goal of this activity was to write a character description so that people can describe the areas of a character. 

Visualising

Visualising is a srategy.  Visualsing was used on a book called The Gruffalo. We also used Visualising on a animal callled a nograd. The nogard was a dragon.

 In the book the mouse is making up a fake monster body part but the monster is real. Visualising is  when listening to a story. Then draw what you remember about the part you listen to.
LI-To visualise parts of the story.
