OUR SUPERHEROES

Earlier this week, we were being ACTIVE INVESTIGATORS, gathering information about SUPERHEROES - what they do and what they look like.

Today we were DESIGNERS AND CREATORS as we drew our own SUPERHERO.
We had to think of an issue in our school, community or world.
Then we used everything we've learnt about SUPERHEROES so far to help create a SUPERHERO to fight this issue.

Here's Jacob's idea for GREEN BAG MAN - a SUPERHERO who makes sure you use environmentally friendly bags when shopping...


and Flynn's FLAME MAN - who stops people, especially children, from playing with fire.

You'll be seeing more of our SUPERHEROES later this term in a COMIC LIFE story.

SAFETY HOUSE AMBASSADORS

Today, our SAFETY HOUSE AMBASSADORS introduced themselves to us.

They will be helping us learn how to KEEP OURSELVES SAFE.

They brought IMA with them and we talked about times when we might need to use a SAFETY HOUSE.


We said:
* when you're lost
* when you are frightened of a person
* when you are frightened by dogs
* when someone you don't know asks you to get into their car
* when you are being bullied.
* when someone's trying to hurt you Our SAFETY HOUSE AMBASSADORS reminded us of IMA'S rule-
ONE NO- DON'T GO!
REMEMBER THE 3 QUESTIONS!
DO I FEEL SAFE WITH THIS PERSON?
DO MY PARENTS KNOW WHERE I AM?
CAN I GET HELP IF I NEED IT?

IF THERE'S ONE NO - DON'T GO!

A WINDY DAY FIND

When we went to the oval to play at lunchtime today, we found some small branches, sticks and twigs on the ground.

They had been blown off the trees because it was so windy!

Most children just saw them as STICKS, but not Harry, Courtney, Lachlan and Emily.

They were amazed to see something else hidden in the sticks!

They saw LETTERS!

They found an 'r', a 'j', a 'y' and lots of 'L's'.

Big 'L', little 'l', thin 'l', thick 'l' and flat 'l'.
Add a rock and you have an 'i'.

Next time you're on the oval, at the park, in your garden or out in the bush, take a closer look.

What LETTERS do you see hidden in nature?

You might, like Harry, Courtney, Lachlan and Emily, be SURPRISED with what you find!

Leave a comment and tell us what you found.
