Knowledge Hazards and Risks.

Knowledge Hazards and Risks.

For inquiry we were learning about hazards and risk.

First we did activities. The first activity was to four corners.

We had to go to a corner. The corners were spades, diamonds, clubs and hearts and the person had to pick a card if it was spades, diamonds, clubs and hearts. The last two people had to guess if the card is red or black. 

The second activity is octopus. The two people that are in it had to say something and the person had to run to the end, and if they got tagged they had to be an octopus. 

Next we had to list down names of hazards for each category (School, home,community, sports). 

Lastly we had to come up with some risks for our hazards.

Character description

Character descriptions create a picture of a characters apperance, experiences and personality.

The appearance include descriptions of the hair, face, body and it's clothes. The experiences include: descriptions of where it lives, their friends , family, their interested, hobbies, talent and their secrets or special achievements. The personality include: descriptions of what kind of person are they, how do they behave, what do they say and what makes them interesting or different.

For the character description should include figurative language. Most people use metaphors and similes as figurative language. Figuritive language is a word or phrase that does have it's literal meaning. Most people use metaphores and similes as figuritive language.

The reason for this activity is to learn to write a character which not only describes their appearance or personality but to describe all parts of the character.
