Simile And Metaphor Expert Renny!!!

 This week my class is learning about similes and metaphors. A simile is a sentence that compares two different things using the words Like or As. A metaphor is comparing two things that are not alike NOT using Like or As.  Here is an example of a metaphor.  I was a cheetah in the running race. Here is an example of a simile.  I was as slow as a tortoise. We got to do a Kahoot afterwards to see if we remembered. I got all of the questions right. Have you ever done a Kahoot because I love doing them?

The Amazing Clued Up Kids

My class went into town last Friday to the Boys Brigade hall to do 'Clued up Kids'. Clued up kids is a program to teach us about safety. There was the fire brigade, Safety around animals, Earthquake drills, St John, Train safety,  Police search and rescue, Safety around the kitchen and on quad bikes.  I liked the fire one the most because we got to crawl through an inflatable dark tunnel to show you how to get down and try and get out fast.  For the St John one we had to bandage our partner up. For a wound you put pressure and elevate.  We had to practise doing drop cover and hold so if we have an earthquake we know what to do. We got taught what not to do around horses. We also got to pat a horse. We learnt that trains take a while to stop so never run out on the railway track. I learnt about the tools that the search and rescue use. S.A.R stands for search and rescue. You have to be 17 + to volunteer to join the S.A.R. Some of the tools are a PLB- Personal Locater Becon. I learnt that you have to be 16+ to ride an adult size quad bike and always wear a helmet. For the kitchen safety we had to spot problems in the kitchen.  Have you ever done clued up kids or something like this?

Propagation Tunnel

In the propagation tunnel has 180 flax, 12 kowhai, 99 pittosporums, 5 coprosmas and 18 five fingers.  To make sure the plants grow we have to water them every day and make sure they all get sun light.

Growing my Brain

I have been learning to grow my brain. I am going to say positive comments to myself when I am doing something that might be tricky for myself.

Safe Walking

If you go walking you have to wear shoes. You also have to look for sneaky driveways. You have to look left and right when you cross the road. You need to stay on the footpath. These are all the things that Constable Jos taught us when we learned about Safe Walking. Do you do these things?
