Hero's

Today in school at home our task was to choose a hero to research and write about. I chose to write about fire fighters. I liked typing the research up. I was good at finding the information on the internet. I found some of the words difficult to spell. The things I learnt today were what fire fighters do for their job and how to research questions.

What are fire fighters?

Fire fighters are people who are paid or are volunteers with the main job of putting out dangerous fires that threaten people or property 

What job do they do? 

Save peoples lives.

Put out fires. 

Clean equipment. 

Help injured people.

Cut cars open to get people out.

They drive fire engines..

How do they prepare for their job?

A 12 week training course.

First aid

Fitness 

Volunteer 

Why are fire men and fire women heroes?

Describe actions that might be heroic that they do.

Because they help the world. And put out dangerous fires, saving our houses and people and pets lives. Most firefighters are volunteers which means they don't get paid.

Who Am I?

 Today I made a who am I poem at home. This helped me with my spelling & writing. I found the spelling easy. I learnt more about the way the animal looks.   


Who am I?

I have green eyes.

I have big horns.

I have a small tail.

I have a brown body and withe spots on my back.

I have four big hooves.

Maths 1 Maths: Geometry Safari

\This term for maths we have been learning about 2D and 3D geometry. Fred, Barney and I were in a team. We went on a Geometry Safari around the school grounds to see how many 2D and 3D shapes we could find. Then we had to write what we had found into a table. You can see ours below.

Science: me and my DNA.

This term for science we are learning all about how the human body works and how special we all are. We are also trying to learn how to think and act more like a scientist. So, Miss Fletcher asked us to look at our faces in the mirror and write down notes about what we look like. The information had to be precise and clear so that when someone read it, it would help them find the person it described quickly. It was a bit like being a detective. You had to look and notice things carefully.

Miss Fletcher said that what we look like depends on our mother and father. Making a new human is a bit like making a cake.  You get some ingredients from your mum and some from your dad. The ingredients are called DNA. Everybody’s cake is different to everyone else’s. 

Miss Fletcher said the person with the most efficient description was Andrew J as he wrote: My hair is 1cm long all over. He is the only student in Team Moana with a haircut like that so he was able to be identified very easily. You can read my description below. The sentences highlighted in blue are the ones that Miss Fletcher said were not precise and clear enough.  The whole class said they could recognise me from my description.
