10 Ways manners help the world

 1. Speak kindly to other people. When you speak kindly to people you make then feel good and when you make other people feel good you feel good

2. When I say please and thank you I am being respectful and kind to other people and not just expecting other people to do stuff for me.

3. When I keep my hands to myself and don’t push, shove, kick or touch anyone else I am respecting people's personal space.


4. Bad language often sounds aggressive and isn’t very nice to the people hearing it. So better to avoid it.


5. Kindness makes everyone feel good. Three ways of being kind are: Speaking kindly, helping people if they need help and being a good friend. Throwing things at people isn’t nice so just don’t do it!

You should also be kind to your friends and family


6.Noticing what people do to make other people happy and cheerful and learning off of that. Also making people feel appreciated.


7. Shake hands with people. Shaking hands with people is a way of greeting it is polite.


8.Being honest. If you make a mistake it’s better to tell someone about rather than keep it a secret and hope no one finds out.


9. Eating manners. If you are eating out don’t eat like a pig and make a big mess. Use manners like please and thank you and be nice to the waitress. Giving compliments is also used at restaurants.


10. Cleaning up after yourself is a big part of manners because people aren’t just going to clean up after you.

Maths

 



Today for Maths we did 3D drawing.
This is what I made.
We did it on isometric paper.
First i drew the cubes and then colored it in with yellow marker and then 
I added a shadow to make it look real.
I really enjoyed making them.

In Literacy we have been looking at how authors and directors explain to the viewer/reader about the character. They do this through speech, costume, environment and general appearance.

We have looked at scenes from The first harry potter movie and read the same things from the book. We looked at how the characters were introduced and what was different in the movie and book. We looked at what choices the author/directors made to help us get to know the character.

Shafrin and I  created the scene above working on these aspects of the character. I had a friend give me feedback by highlighting some things in this story.
Actions=red, Appearance=yellow, Environment=green and speech=blue.

I think that we have done a good job of creating our own character, and describing what he is like and his personality.

I need to work on explaining the environment.

Sailing

 Yesterday the year Sevens went sailing at Lake Rua.

There were a few boats that went capsized but luckily I wasn't in any of them.

We started by taking the boats out of the big container and getting the sails, the rutter and the centerboard. We put the sail in the boat and connected the ropes. After that we practiced how to drive the sail boats. We had to do this weird pivot thing and I was really bad at it. Then we finally got into the water and had to go around this can thing that was in the water. After we had sort of got the hang of it we got to go around two cans and i started drifting out behind them. 

After all of that we took the boats down and went fora swim.

Overall I thought it was really fun and would definitely do it again.

Our healing garden

 For our Inquiry we have been making gardens.

Me and Maria have been making a healing garden filled with  calming sounds and scents. We have got herbs to make tea and just some calming and relaxing plants.

We have made a slide show to show our work, we have put the herbs and other plants in there and why they are calming or healing. We have also shown our watering system and the birds we would like to a attract to our garden.



Thanks for reading our garden plan.😃
