Alien Invasion

Learning can also be a little silly...

After having a 'visit' from ZEEK the alien and writing many of the words used on his planet, we drew pictures of other aliens. Here are a few of them.

Exploring space online

We were finding information on Mercury and Earth going online. We used the website called NASASpacePlace. We had to read the information and then choose where we could add the information on our sheets. We were also learning how to write our information using bullet points. 

To complete the activities, we had to use the learner dispositions:

• reflective (thinking about the information so we could add it to the correct area on our sheets)

• resilient (toughing it out because it took a long time and some of the words tripped us up)

• reciprocal (we worked in groups) 

• resourceful (we had to make decisions about how we would go about finding the information, using the information and how to solve problems).

Fireman Matt's Visit

Today we were fortunate enough to have a visit from Fireman Matt who came to teach us more about being Fire wise. We listened to a story, watched video clips and tested fire alarms. 

We have learnt that fire alarms are all different. These are they ways they differ from each other:

• size
• sound
• battery life

It is also important to close the door in the room, get down, get low get out and do it FAST.
