Inferring

For reading we learned about inferring.

We did two activities. The first activity is fact and opinion. We wrote facts for each character in the story and wrote down the opinions. For example the fox was afraid when he saw the gruffalo, the opinions the fox is “afraid”.

The second activity is character trait. The character trait is that we had to replace the green writing and write down information from the story and my inference.

We wrote who we are, what gender they are, what story they come from, the characteristics of the character, what kind of person they are, an example of what person they are is that the snake is fearful. Then we wrote a summary of the story. For example the snake is fearful and eager.

Inferring is using clues in the text and my prior knowledge to help my understanding of the text.

Setting Description

Setting description is created with an image of what a character’s place looks like, sounds like, smells like and feels like.

Looks like, is what the background is. For example the snake house looks like logs and grass.

Sounds like, is what the sound of a character or the place. For example the snake surroundings sounds like hissing snakes.

Smells like, is what the smell of a character or their surroundings. For example, the snake's place smells like mold .

Feels like, describes the feel of something. For example the log feels prickly.

Risk Assessment

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.

Mean, Median and Mode

Time is a event in the past, future and present

Mean is when you get a bunch of numbers then you add them up and count how many numbers you got and divide
them that’s mean or another word average.

Median is when you put your numbers in order from least to greatest then you circle the number in the middle if
there is an even amount of numbers you circle the even amount of numbers then add those numbers and divide
them by two.

Mode is when you make the numbers to the least to greatest then you see if there is the same number if you more
number that are the same they are the mode

Knowledge Hazards and Risks

For inquiry we were learning about hazards and risk.

First we did activities. The first activity was to playing 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.
