Basic Facts Boxes
Today I completed basic fact boxes up to 20. The objective of this challenge is to get quick at answering basic fact questions. I answered the equations in 2 minutes and 27 seconds.

SSR Selfie | Night of the Dummy
Today I completed the SSR Selfie can-do. The objective of the SSR Selfie can-do is to learn how to summarise or retell a text. The book I read was called: 'Night of the Dummy'. The book was very funny. This book was a fictional story.

Commenting Thread
Today I commented on Chisa's blogpost about her character description. I started the comment thread. The commenting thread process is to look at talking about the learning they have blogged about. To keep the conversation, we use open and closed questions. Comment threading is a good way to learn more about a persons knowledge on a topic.

Hazards & Risks
We investigated the hazards and risks in different places.
To do this, we played Octopus and Four Corners. While we played these games, we identified if there were any dangers or accidents happening.
After that, we identified the differences between hazards and risks. Hazards are the causes of harm to people and the environment. Risks are the outcomes of causing harm to people or the environment.
Next, we listed four hazards that could happen in our homes, schools, community and sports. Lastly, we made posters that showed the risks of the different hazards.
This activity was educational, and it taught me about the different hazards and risks that can occur in different areas.
LI: To demonstrate prior knowledge.

Character Description | Stewart the Mouse
Character descriptions attempt to create a picture of the characters appearance, experiences and personalities.
The appearance part includes: the face and hair, the body and the clothes. The experience part includes: where they live, their friends and family, their interests, hobbies or talents and their secrects or achievements. The personality part includes: what kind of person they are, what they say, what makes them different or interesting and how they behave.
The character description should include both literal and figurative language. Most people use similies and metaphors as figurative language.
The purpose of this activity is to learn how to write a character description that not only describes what kind of personality or appearance they have, but to describe all the areas of a character.

The Gruffalo | Nogard | Visualising
Visualising is a reading strategy that involves coming up with a picture of something in the head.
The Gruffalo story uses visualising. The mouse describes the features of the Gruffalo and by the end of the story, people should have a picture in their head of the Gruffalo.
The Nogard activity, also uses the visualising strategy. The Nogard activity has a description of what a Nogard is and at the end of the activity people should come up with a visualisation. The Nogard is dragon backwards.
Visualising can help people with understanding a book, because it gets people to engage with the book.

Time | Statistical Investigation
Time is the ongoing sequence of events happening.
There are three words that start with 'm' and they are: mean, median and mode. The mean (average) is found by adding all of the numbers and dividing that by how many numbers there are. For example: 1+2+3+4+5= 15, 15 ÷ 5 = 3, the mean is 3.
The median is found by organizing the numbers from least to greatest and finding the number in the middle. For example: 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5. The median is 3. If the amount of numbers are even like this: 1, 4, 2 and 3, add them 4 + 2 = 6, then divide by 2, 6 ÷ 2 = 3. The median is also 3.
The mode is found by organizing the numbers from least to greatest, then finding the most popular number. For example: 2, 2, 3 and 4. The most popular number is two and that is the mode.
This investigation shows how long it takes for someone to complete a physical activity. Once the person has completed the activity, they convert their time, find their mean, mode and median. The graph below shows the fastest to slowest time taken to complete the activity.
