Keeping Ourselves Safe

At school we have been learning how to keep ourselves safe. constable Jos and Terri came around to help us with our learning. Here are some of the things we learnt.

Play Summary

Play Summary - Term 3 Weeks 1-2

For the next two weeks you are working in groups to practise and perform a
play. This is using our oral language and reading skills in literacy.
Our key competency focus is participating and contributing.

For writing your task is to summarise the main events in your play in
three paragraphs. You must plan your writing first but it is up to you how you
do your planning.  You must also write a fourth paragraph about your
experience of practising and performing your play.

and where there are links within and between paragraphs.

I am learning to use basic punctuation accurately in my writing.

I am learning to use complex punctuation to enhance my writing e.g. colons : and
semi-colons ; , and parentheses ().

Success Criteria

I will be successful when I can/have

In the first part of the story, Jack and his Mother are poor and they have a pet
cow. Jack's mother said, “Jack we need to sell our cow for some money.”
Jack said, “Ok I take him to town and sell him.”

In the second part of the story, Jack walked to the market; and and man said to
him, “Are you coming to town to sell that cow?” and Jack said, “Yes I am.” So
the old man said, “I'll give you some magic beans for the cow.” “Ok.” said Jack.

Jack went home and told his mother, and she was very angry and threw the
beans on the dirt and told him, “GO TO YOUR ROOM!” Jack went to his room
and fell asleep.

At the end of this story, the next morning Jack's mother ran into his room and
yelled in excitement, “LOOK OUTSIDE.” Jack got up and looked out his window
and saw a giant beanstalk.

He ran outside and climbed the beanstalk. When he got up there he stole
golden eggs and a golden hen from the gaint. Then when he was about to
climb down he heard a loud noise he looked up and saw  the giant, his mother
from down below grabbed a axe and chopped down the beanstalk and Jack
got down safely. Jack and his mother were rich because they had the hen.

Our teamwork was good because we worked well together and let each
other speak, and we all participated well and worked well to make props.
We brought in what we needed for the props and practiced well.
