We focused our writing today on what students learnt yesterday about ways to be safe around fires and fireworks as 'Guy Fawkes Day' is coming up...
Safety Tips:
1. Never touch fireworks
2. Stand well back from a bonfire (students acted this out in a circle with one in the middle acting as the fire...)
This is too close...
A better distance...
3. Never go near a firework after it has been lit
4. Only hold one sparkler at a time
5. Wear gloves when holding a sparkler
6. Keep pets indoors
Students coloured a picture from the 'Quiver' website and used the app to bring their picture to live...
Challenge:
Take a photo of your quiver and save it to the camera roll. Open 'Write About This NZ' and add your photo. Write about being safe around fireworks.
The students learnt to use a new App called Quiver. This was a fun way to get them to reflect and talk about their participation in yesterday's Cluster Summer Sports.
After choosing one of the two pictures provided, students coloured it using their favourite colours and then watched as their picture came to life just the way they've coloured it.
Students took a screenshot and published their 'reflections' on their blogs.
