Making Triangles!

This week we did something different. We were making triangles using colored paper, a ruler, pair of scissors, and a pencil. We made 47 triangles altogether, but we had to make at least 30. We have some leftover paper since I thought that we were making too many. That's all, have a good day.

Maths WK2 T2

My Math for this week. We mostly did division worksheets which I found a little bit hard, but I still managed to finish it. I hope you have a good day.

Reading Tasks - WK1 T2

My favorite story I read would have to be the book I read of Wednesday, I found it interesting and enjoyed my tasks.

How to feel Calm

Are you ever feeling angry or overwhelmed? Then listen closely, this is what you should do to

feel calm.

First off, you know that you’re angry when you feel like yelling, maybe trying to defend yourself

in an argument. You might want to be alone, not speaking with

anyone, thinking to yourself. Maybe you don’t feel like talking to anybody else. Then you might

start to feel frustrated, even at the smallest things. You could’ve gotten distracted when you

want to be alone, and that might make you feel

angry.

Next you should go to the kitkat corner. The kitkat corner is where you sit down once

you are mad. Once you’re in the kitkat corner, try to calm down. Take a deep breath and

try to feel better. Try not to get distracted by other people, it might not help. And again so you

don’t distracted, focus looking at the wall, or outdoors.

Then try to think of your happy place. Your happy place could be anywhere. For example, it

could be sitting at home. You could be doing anything, like reading a book quietly. That's my

happy place. If you think about your happy place it might make you feel more calm and

relaxed instead of mad, or

overwhelmed.

You know that you’re calm when you can finally smile, you no longer feel like yelling at

anyone, and you start to feel much better, less stressed and more relaxed. You should

remember these for the next time you’re mad/overwhelmed now that you know. I hope you

learned something. Follow these steps the next time this might

happen.

In class we were writing an explanation writing on 'How To Feel Calm.' We had to fill out a sheet answering questions such as 'How do you know you're mad/overwhelmed?' 'What is your happy place?' We put three answers for each question, and wrote them down as paragraphs.

Dear BOT,

Thank you for the brand new TVs! I enjoy having them in our hub.

The Teachers are usually using the TV for Hapara, so the Students can see whenever someone is on a site they aren’t supposed

to be on. The Teachers also use them to play music.

They are great, and I am very happy that we now have the privilege to

use them in our large hub. Because the TVs are so big, it's easy to see

what the Teacher is trying to explain.

I remember all of the excitement on everyone’s faces when they

entered the classroom to see 2 new TVs. I was excited to have them,

and even more excited once they got the TVs set up. I also think

the Chromecast is really helpful for the Teachers, because they all can

connect their laptops to the TVs. I think the remote is really helpful too!

Yours Sincerely,

Tara

Balloon Experiment

For STEAM Rotation we had to try to balance a balloon mid-air by blowing through a straw. I think it went well, it was a fun activity. It looked hard at first, but I would definitely try doing it again. But I was still able to balance the balloon in the air and I enjoyed it a lot.

We also needed partners for this activity, Charlotte was my partner, you can see her blog here:
