Heartstart Training

I am learning to assess and manage risk, to protect myself and others, and to reduce the potential for harm when possible. HWB1-16a

We have been participating in Heartstart training and now know how to help a conscious casualty, an unconscious  casualty and someone who has cut themselves really badly. We practised putting someone into the recovery position and we even saved Mr Stern.

Careers

We have had a few visitors that came to share their careers with us. They were really interesting. We got to try on some of their uniform and ask them lots of questions.

I can describe some of the kinds of work that
people do and I am finding out about the wider
world of work. HWB 1-20a

Through taking part in a variety of events and activities, I am learning
to recognise my own skills and abilities as well as those of others.
HWB 1-19a

A big thank you to all our visitors. We all really enjoyed your visits.

Silly Billy

As I listen or watch, I can identify and discuss the purpose, key words and main ideas of the text, and use this information for a specific purpose. LIT 1-04a

To show my understanding across different areas of learning, I can identify and consider the purpose I am aware of and able to express my feelings and am developing the ability to talk about them. HWB 1-01a

I know that we all experience a variety of thoughts and emotions that affect how we feel and behave and I am learning ways of managing them. HWB 1-02a 

I understand that there are people I can talk to and that there are a number of ways in which I can gain access to practical and emotional support to help me and others in a range of circumstances.  HWB 1-03a 

We read the book Silly Billy about a boy who worried about everything. His grandma told Billy about making a worry doll. He could then tell the worry doll all of his worries.

We explored some of the things we worry about and we all made worry dolls that we could tell our worries to. We also discussed who else we could tell our worries to and in class we made sure we all knew how to use our worry box. Lets hope we don’t have any more worries.

Try a New Sport – Yoga and Karate

I am developing skills and techniques and improving my level  of performance. HWB 1-22a

Jessica – I liked the yoga because Debs was from my yoga class that I do after school.

Erin – I liked playing Yoga Tig.

Grace – Simon Says was the best game.

Sylvie – Karate was my favourite sport this week.

Try a New Sport Week – Tennis

I am developing skills and techniques and improving my level of performance. HWB 1-22a

We had a tennis coach teaching us some skills. After a warm up we had to hide a ball behind our back then hold it out in our left or right hand. Our partner had to hit it as quickly as they could. We then got to use a racket to hit the ball to our partner.

Zoe – Tennis was my favourite sport this week. I liked hitting the ball with the racket. My partner threw the ball. I had to catch it and hit it back.

Isla – I liked it when we had to bounce and hit the ball. We had to keep the score in our head.

 

Show Racism the Red Card

We have been discussing how we are all different and special in our own way.  We also made posters to Show Racism the Red Card.

 

Jessica – It doesn’t matter what we look like we are all the same underneath.

Alex – We can all have differnt things we can do.

Andrew – We used capital letters for emphasis in our posters.
