Week 10 Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday Friday

Morning

45 – 60 minutes

EnglishThis term we are learning about narratives (stories).

Watch the video https://youtu.be/ye2zB_9l5xk if you can.

Make a list of your favourite book characters. What do you like about them? Discuss with a family member.

Create a Venn diagram comparing two of your favourite characters.

EnglishLive lesson – 9.15amYesterday you listened to Chapter 1 of ‘How to Train Your Dragon’. Who are the main characters? What did you notice about them? Go to the class notebook and add your ideas to the character pages in the collaboration section. Use the character trait posters for more ideas.

We will listen to Chapter 2 together. As we do I will show you how to use the emotions graph for Hiccup. After our live lesson you need to do the same thing for a different character.

Extension - Use the emotions word bank to say how the character is feeling at each story point. Cut/paste (paper) or type these onto the graph in Teams.

EnglishLog into the PM reader collection. This is the same as your school login. Record yourself reading the text that has been selected for you. https://app.pmecollection.com.au/login

List three things you know about the main character and how you know in your book or as a message in the English channel of teams.

Eg. I know the character is brave because he put himself in danger to save his friend.

I know the character felt sad when he couldn’t go to the movie because he walked away with his head down and wanted to be by himself.

EnglishLive lesson – 9.15amLook at PowerPoint in Teams or printed in the pack. Together we will talk about the structure of a narrative and identify the main parts of a story.

After our live lesson read the story ‘Crabbing at Night’. In our class notebook you will find the main parts of the story have been arranged in the wrong order. Your job will be to put them in the correct order. You can do this in class notebook or by cutting out the sentence strips and pasting them correctly on the worksheet.

EnglishLog into study ladder to complete the activities on adjectives. An alternative worksheet has been included in the pack if this isn’t an option.

Create a character that you could use in a story. Use adjectives to describe their;

Appearance Personality

(Character traits) Actions Feelings

There will be a table in class notebook for you to do this (and a paper copy in your pack).

Do a detailed drawing of your character. How will you show the characters personality and feelings?

Read a book (or re-read part of a favourite) for 15 minutes.

Complete a character profile page for one of your favourite characters. This will be in your class notebook and in the pack.

Character traits are how we can describe a person on the inside. Things like brave, friendly or curious. I’d like us to create one big list of character traits in the class notebook. List as many character traits as you can.

Listen to the recording of ‘How to Train your Dragon’ chapter one on Teams.

SpellingCreate a spelling list for the week (8-10 words). Make sure they are words you find tricky. Use;

High frequency words Mistakes from your writing Soundwaves unit 14. Tricky words from your reading

SpellingPractise your words in your book. Choose 2-3 words to look up online or talk about with a family member. Write a definition for these two words and write them in a sentence.

Writing Time Pobble writing. See if you can be creative and include your spelling words in your writing. Or could you write a thank you letter to a parent?

SoundwavesSoundwaves – Unit 14. Practice your spelling using soundwaves or by completing the soundwaves worksheet in your pack.

Book Making or JournalContinue your book making and journal writing (your choice).

MathsHow is your skip counting? Each day this week I would like you to start by practising with counting patterns.

Roll a dice to get your starting number.

Choose a number to add or roll a second dice to choose a random number.

Write down the next ten numbers in your number pattern and check it on a calculator.

MathsContinue practising skip counting. Start with the easier patterns at the top of this list before trying the harder ones at the bottom

2s, 5s and 10s 3s and 4s 9s 6s and 8s 7s

MathsA goal sheet has been included in this pack and on teams.

Set a counting goal (I will do this with you on your day in class if you can be there). Phone or email if you can’t so we can do this together.

Email me to tell me your goal if you set it at home.

Practise it every day this week.

Let me know when you come to school next week if you are ready for a new goal.

Maths Practise your counting goal.

Write down the first in your pattern.

Write the next number directly under it.

If you can check each number is correct using a calculator before writing down the next number. You can use the == feature to do this.

Eg. 3 + 6 = 9. If you press the = sign again the calculator will add another 6 and show 12.

Maths Practise your counting goal.

ScienceWeathering

Last week we looked at how the Earth’s surface can change and move. Today we will explore other actions on the surface that can cause changes to the Earth’s surface.

Explore the learning page http://interactives.inquisitive.com/published/WeatheringRocks/WeatheringRocks.html

And/or watch this video http://studyjams.scholastic.com/studyjams/jams/science/rocks-minerals-landforms/weathering-and-erosion.htm

Erosion investigation

Build a sand or soil mountain and landscape in your backyard.

Experiment with tipping first small amounts and then larger amounts of water over your construction. How does the water impact on what you’ve built? Does the ‘landscape’ change in ways you expected? What do you notice?

If you have other materials like clay or different soil types in your yard try the experiment again to see how different soils react to the water.

Write about what you observe in Teams or in your books.

Creative Arts - DanceThis will be our last week with the dance to the song ‘Old town Road’.

You will find this week's dance lesson in Class Notebook under your name in the Creative Arts tab –Week 3 Creative Arts

Genius HourToday our focus is on research skills and using google. Let’s pretend we are researching what materials were used to make ancient spears.

1. To begin searching, we start with the most simple search term. Let’s type spears into Google. Guess what comes up? That’s right, pages and pages about Britney Spears.

2. What do you notice? We can see that Google doesn’t actually understand what we type. It just mindlessly matches words to webpages. We have to be very specific in our search terms to get what we want.

3. Try using the “–” symbol. Placed before a word, this tells Google to exclude the word. So, spears -britney will locate sites with spears but without britney.

4. When we use quotes around words, Google searches for the exact phrase. If you type "ancient spears", including the quotes the exact phrase ancient spears must appear on a page in order for Google to return it as a result.

Have a go using your own

spot research topic.

LIBRARY Today you watch a reading of one of the 2020 Book Week Shortlisted books. It is called

‘Hello Lighthouse’ and is written by Sophie Blackall.
