Bike Safety Blog Post T4 2018

  

What are the three things that Constable Ken Taught about where we can ride our bikes? (think - place and time)

1. Constable Ken said that Sovereign palms is good because the roads are wide and there aren't as many people on the roads. 

2. Constable Ken told us that we have to ride our bike on the left side like all the other cars.

3. He also said that we have to ride in the bike lane so we don't run over any people and also so you don't
crash into a car that is pulling out of the driveway.

Name three important things Constable Ken taught us about how to ride our bikes? (think - eyes and head)

1. Firstly we have to find any hazards in the area that we are bike riding.

2. The second thing we learnt was when we get on the bike, we have to get on it on the left side so a car doesn't run us over.

3. The last thing we learnt is that we always have to use our back brakes because if you use the front brakes and if your going at a fast speed, you could face plant into the ground.

Describe the three bike signals that Constable Ken taught us.

1. Right hand turn

2. Left hand turn

3. Stop

What did you enjoy the most about your Cycle Safe lesson? Why?

I liked riding around the field because it was relaxing. I also liked using both brakes at the same time because you had to pedal fast then stop suddenly.

Music - E-portfolio Sample - Term 4 2018

This term we have been learning how to play some new rhythms on our bucket drums.

We learnt to play the down beat where we play on each beat, it looks like this:

Then we learnt to play the front beat where we only play on beats 1 and 3, it looks like this:

We also learnt to play the back beat where we only play on beats 2 and 4, it looks like this:

After we had practiced the beats we learnt to play along with some songs.

What do you think is the most important thing to do so that you stay in time when you are playing on the
bucket drums? Something important you need to do to stay in time is to count the beats in your head. Another important thing to do is to work out the rhythm in the song.

Which song do you think would be good to play the bucket drums to and why? I think the song Happier is good to do the bucket drums with because it has a good beat to it.

What could you do to improve your bucket drumming in the future? In the future I need to work on figuring out the rhythm to the song to stay in time.

Reading -The Cay, E-portfolio Sample - Comprehension

Write an “ITTM” for the following sentences:

After a moment of silence, I heard the sizzle of the water as Timothy doused the torch.

I think that means that after a minute of no talking, Philip could hear a crackling sound from the H2O and at the same time Timothy put out the fire.

For more than a week, I knew he had been labouring over nails to turn them into fish hooks.

I think that means that for over 7 days Philip knew that Timothy was converting metal screws into sharp curved tools used to catch sea creatures.

Roadblocks! There were many roadblocks for us in this book! Choose at least two of the following words to explain and ‘clear the roadblock’ for.

Alabaster -   

Cay - A low bank or reef of coral, rock, or sand.

Jumbi -

Langosta - A sea creature that is like a spiky Crayfish or Lobster.

Malaria - A type of disease that gets into your red blood cells and is normally transmitted by Mosquitos.

Write down at least three things Phillip learnt whilst on the cay (for example, about himself, caring for others and life etc)

1. A lesson Philip learnt was to make the most of what you have because it may not always be there.

2. The second lesson Philip learnt was how to survive in the wild with nothing but clothes.

3. The final lesson Philip learnt was how to adapt without his eyesight, instead he used his sense of touch and hearing.

Athletics Reflection

Athletics  Reflection

1. How did your athletics practices go? (At least 3 events)

For discus I did well because I didn't hold on to it and all the throws at practice counted. When we practiced high jump, I think I did well because I did the scissor jump. The third event we did was shot put, I think I did good because I didn't just use my arms, I used my legs as well.

2.  In what event did you most improve your technique? How?

Shot put was probably the event that I improved the most on because I used my legs as well as my arms, but I also improved a lot on high Jump by being more springy and more positive.

3. What value did you show on Friday at Athletics most? How?

I showed Brave because although I'm not that good at sprints, long jump and High jump, I still kept trying and
trying.

4. Who else did you notice showing one of our school values (they could be from another class or syndicate)? How?

Ethan showed Respect because when he won his events, he didn't give people a hard time. Instead he cheered on
other people even if they failed.
