Road Safety Moniters

Road safety monitoring  is a good leadership road.

Road safety monitors are a role model for younger and older people. If you are a monitor your are showing leadership in a different and unique way. Monitors keep pedestrians safe when crossing the road. People need to remember to watch and listen to the safety monitors and cross only when they save to.

Getting cars to reduce  their speed when approaching a road patrol crossing is an important part of the job. School  road safety monitors are supported by an adult  when going on duty. Teachers or adults can help you increase awareness and help with signals if the driver cannot see the monitor on duty.

A car just doesn't cause accident monitors can to. A safety monitor on duty should always be focused when on patrols. Remaining focused, is of huge importance in road safety. You have to be focused throughout the job.

Every school or a very busy pedestrian crossing should have a road safety monitors.   

Vintage Vacuum

A vacuum is probably the best appliance in the house old or new. The vintage vacuum in the Fencibles Cottage caught my eyes as I explored in the kitchen.  It looked very different from the modern one to the olden day one but it surely looked cool.

Using an old fashioned vacuum did not rely or powered  by electricity but on air. Instead of turning on the plug the handle was actually a pump where you pump air and in a big metal tin in the middle of the vacuum. The tin  was where the rubbish and dust was stored.

It looked very light even though the whole vacuum was made out of metal. Our modern day vacuum is made out of plastic but is very heavy. Our vacuum today has a plug that you have to drag around but a old vacuum is like a end of the modern day vacuum that you swish around with.

So if you had a choice what would you choose a modern day vacuum or a olden day vacuum?

Fencible Cottage PMI

Fencible Cottage

We have been learning about the Fencibles who settled in Panmure in the 1840’s.

These men travelled from the other side of the world to begin a new life in New Zealand.

They were known by some as retired soldiers. When they came, they brought their families and as many of their belongings that they were allowed to bring.  They came on big ships.

Recently we visited the Stone Cottage in Panmure to see what life was like for the Fencibles.

The following is a PMI with key notes about that visit.

Snails House

I am learning to write a explanation on a chosen topic                  

Snail Picture

Snails House

A snail lives in a shell. The shell is on them when they are born but it is small so they grow each day.The shell is on its back so the snail carries it everywhere. Some of the shell’s is spiral like a cone or tornado.To access the shell the snail has to cuddle up into to a spiral. A snail takes slow because of its house.

When a snail is scared and want to hide from predators the snail hides in it’s small Snail Picture house. A snail's shell is strong for an insect but for humans they can be easily crushed. A snail’s shell is not the same as a crabs or turtle.

No two species of a snail having the exactly the same colour or shape of the shell. Some shells are usually brown therefore a snail can go in it’s house and can use the shell to camouflage in the dirt. Most snails has other coloured like bright yellow, red , and orange for designs.  

Emotions and Feelings

Feelings

People use and show their attitudes and emotions in different ways.

Many people that are happy and joyful smile or laugh. Other people clench their jaws and jump and down or just show weird facials. When I am happy I whisper or shout yes and will be over excited. People don’t just smile and laugh just to show they’re happy. Some people do unusually acquired stuff like cry or use body language like do flip’s or sprint around. Almost everyone in the world has experienced being happy.

Sadness is a common emotion. Most people are sad when someone has died, or when someone has to face serious consequences like going to jail. When someone has broke up or you have failed. People show sadness when they cry, or have a red face, don’t want to talk about it, or just not want to be around anyone.  

Anger is an emotion that I wish had never be invented. I  hate when people get angry. People always swear, kick and punch, or even have a fight and shout. People will do serious damage if they keep on being angry. Angry is dumb angry is stupid angry is wordless!

When people get scared you use scads of body language. Hiding in boxes and around corners scare them but if you shout boo are raa you will catch them a frighten them. People should be careful when you scare people before people will get nightmares or will give someone a heart attack.

These are four emotions that you can show; can you tell me more?
