Sick Sentences

This week, we have been working on some more sick sentences. We started off with a picture of an old railroad, and some sentences that weren't very good. We talked about what was in the picture and we talked about how we could make the sick sentences better. While we did each fix our own sentences, we also fixed them as a class. This is what we came up with...

They sat in the creepy, spooky woods. As they lit a smokey fire, the mist rose up into the air. They constructed a tiny campsite with miniature logs. While they put up their tent, they told scary stories. Suddenly they heard a paranormal noise floating through the woods, and they felt a bizarre feeling inside.

Play- Challenge yourself and have a go!

One of our school People Powers is 'Play'. We have been learning about showing 'Play' through challenging ourselves and having a go.

In one of our Power Time lessons we had lots of balloon challenges that our teachers set for us and we used collaboration to get the balloons from one side of the room to the other (without them touching the ground).

We also sat in a circle and challenged ourselves to pass a ballon around the circle in different ways. We found it easiest to pass it around with our elbows because we had more control, but hardest to use our chins because our chins and necks weren't big enough to hold onto the balloon.

We definitely had lots of fun learning about showing 'Play' by challenging ourselves and having a go! We try hard to show 'Play' in our learning as well. 

When do you challenge yourself?
