In P.E we are improving our badminton skills by playing a round robin tournament where we play in groups of 4. The first 2 people play against each other and whoever wins achieves 1 point. Then the third and fourth person play against each other until someone scores. To win the game you have to score 5 points before any other player. (Lachlan)
In Numeracy, we have been learning to round a decimal fraction to the nearest whole number and we can also round decimal fractions to 2 decimal places. We used a fun game on the Ipads called Rocket Rounding and this helped us to round. Our group worked really hard and we all managed to solve the questions. (Maria)
In Reading, we have been completing lots of enjoyable tasks. This week I completed the ‘Link Maker’ task. For this, I had to relate the book to my life, making links between my experiences and the experiences of the characters. I chose the ‘Create’ reading fan and this task was to create a play from the story. I worked in a group of 3 and we decided who was going to play which character and then we wrote out a play script and finally we acted out a scene from the story. (Maria, Georgia and Aila)
On Tuesday, for Safer Internet Day 2019, we were learning how to keep ourselves safe online. First, we discussed the internet rules that we already knew and then we worked our way through a power point, learning more rules and learning the age restrictions on online games and apps. We also learned about the dangers of opening emails from strangers and downloading games, and how viruses can damage our computers. One main rule for children is to always have your parents beside you when you are using the internet. We created a poster showing all the safety rules. (Ethan and Nieve)
