Risk assessment

The risk assessment is a group task to show the risk, hazards and consequences when doing an activity.

First you need to do the task with your group explaining what hazard and risk is. A hazard is something that could cause harm to people, properties and the environment. A risk is something that can harm people, properties and the environment

Next we had to create a safety plan. We listed the activity, how much students we had, class year level and the location.

After that we had to write down what could go wrong, what caused it to go wrong and how we could stop it from happening.

Rewriting narratives

A narrative can help with getting new ideas.

A narrative is when you get ideas from a story and rewrite it in your own words.When rewriting a character description the story line still needs to be like the original story line.

I changed the fox to the wolf because the animals are kind of similar to each other. The underground was changed to a den and the Gruffalo's favorite food was changed to wolf frosting.

 

Making connections

Making connections help readers understand the story.

The three types of connections are text to self, text to text and text to world. 

Text to self connections are when something in the text reminds the reader of an experience.  

Text to text connections happen when something in the text reminds the reader of a previous text read.

Text to world connections are larger connections that a reader brings to a reading situation.

Multiplication

Multiplication is a fast way of adding on the same number. For example 4 x 9 is 9+9+9+9=36.

The slides below show the 9 and 7 time tables.
L.I-To learn the time tables.

Setting description

A setting description is describing a place in the story.

When you write a setting description you must have what it smells like, feels like, looks like and sounds like.

A setting description uses adjectives to help describe the place. An adjective is a describing word.

The setting description helps the readers understand and imagine what the setting is.
L.I-To write a setting description .

Visualisation

L.I-To visualize parts of the story

Visualizing is when someone describes a picture and you draw it without looking at the picture.

First I have to listen to audios of the book called The Gruffalo and visualize the story part.

Then when i'm done with visualizing The Gruffalo there was a activity we had to do.

I had to draw a nogard without looking at what it is. A nogard is dragon spelled backwards when our activity was done we had to lift our drawings up and show other people.

Hazard and risks

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

   

Character Description

A character description gives people information about appearance, experience and personality.

Appearance gives information about what the face, hair, body and clothes look like.

Experience gives information about where they live, who their family and friends are, their special interests, hobbies or talents, and their secrets or special achievements.

Personality gives information about what kind of person they are, how they behave, what do they say and what makes them interesting or different.

A character description can explain how they look, and more.
