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.

Setting Description

LI: to write a setting description.

Setting descriptions describes a place in a book or video. A setting descriptions talks about what the place looks like, what it smells like, what it feels like, and what it sounds like.

When describing it's sound think of what you hear. Some adjectives are boisterous, loud, and noisy.

When describing it's smell think of what you smell. Some adjectives are disgusting, terrible, and delightful.

When describing what if fell like think of what that place feels like. Some adjectives are rough, soft, and jagged.

When describing what it looks like you think what it looks like. Some adjectives are moldy, beatiful, and rusty.

Setting descriptions help people to imagine the setting better and enhance their experience of the reading or story.

Inference | Character Trait | Fact & Opinion

For reading I practised inference. To start I did fact or 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 character trait for each character. 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.

Assess Likelihood

We learnt about assessing likelihood. The 5 potential risks are: low, likely, possible, elevated, and extreme.

First we rated the situations from 1 to 5 risk. As a group we discussed what level we thought fit the situation.

Next we wrote down multiple consequences on what would have happened.

After that we made our own situations that are related to that risk level.

We enjoyed this task and it was also hard to make our own situations.

LI: to assess the likeihood.
LI: to assess consequences.

Hazards & Risks

I learnt about hazards and risks. In a group we thought of risk and hazards for 4 categories. 

School
For this category the hazards was playground, scissors, ruler and paint brush. Some of the risks are tripping over, cutting yourself, hitting yourself and getting paint on yourself.

Home
For this category the hazards was fire place, plate, trampoline, and washing machine. Some of the risks are burning yourself, dropping the plate, water coming, and spraining your ankle.

Sport
The hazards were tennis ball, cricket bat, discus, and rippa belt. Some risks are getting hit, hurting yourself, breaking something, and falling.

Community
The hazards were rocks, lightning, pothole, and a plane. Some risks are tripping over the risk, getting struck by lightning, falling into a pothole, and crashing the plane.

This activity was fun and I learnt what hazards and risks are.

Gruffalo Character Description

Character descriptions talk about the character's personality, appearance, and experiences.

Experiences describes where the character lives, there family and friends, hobbies, and special achievements. Appearnce describes the characters face and hair, there body, and there clothes.

Personality describes how the character's behave, what kind of character they are, how the character speaks, and what makes the character different.

Writing character descriptions helps practise visualising and using figurative language and descriptive adjectives.

Visualisation - Gruffalo & Nogard

LI: To visualise parts of the story.

Visualising is making an image in your head. Parts of the book are being read and listened.

The Gruffalo is a monster. The Gruffalo activity story were easy to visualise and draw because parts of the book were being read separately. It was not that complicated. A nogard is a dragon spelt backwards.

The nogard activity was a description of the body parts of the nogard.
