Setting description

A setting description describes what the place looks like, sounds like, feels like, and smells like.

To describe what it looks like, people use adjectives like: big, small, tall, or short. This will give the reader an idea of what the place looks like.

To describe what it sounds like, people use adjectives like: loud, and quiet. This will give the reader an idea of what the places sounds like.

To describe what it feels like, people use adjectives like: soft, hard, cold, or hot. This will give the reader an idea of what the places feels like.

To describe what the places smells like, people use adjectives like: old bark, or freshwater. This will give the reader an idea of what the place smells like.

The 4 settings help the reader understand what setting you are describing.

Inquiry | Risk Assesment quiz

LI: to assess the likelihood 
LI: to assess consequences

This week we learned about assessing risk.

We had to assess risk from then. There are five risk definitions. They are low, likely, possible, elevated and extreme.

The first task was that we had to pick a number out to 1 to 5. There were fifteen questions and my group and I did a discussion of what number we should pick to see if it was correct, almost or incorrect my group and I did a vote. 

After voting each question we got two correct answers, two incorrect answers, and the rest was almost. Then we corrected our answer and did the next task. The next task was we had to write our own situation from 1 to 5. After that we mixed up the answer and deleted those numbers.

This task was hard but we worked together and finished the task. 

Multiplication

Multiplication is a faster way of counting alot of the same number. For example 9+9+9+9+9+9+9+9 is counting 9 eight times. So 9 x 8 = 72.
These two slides show the 9 times tables, 7 times tables and the word problems.

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.

L.I. To demonstrate prior knowledge

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.

LI. To write a character description.

Visualising

Visualizing is a strategy that helps you retell the story by looking at pictures.

The visualizing strategy is used in the Gruffalo. In the story the mouse describes the gruffalo.

The nogard activity also uses the strategy.

This week for maths we learned how to write multiplication word problems.
