Monday - 9am Zoom class meeting Block One Blocks Two and Three Block Four

English Maths Physical Activity Play Based Learning

You have 45-60 minutes for English.

During this time complete some or all of these activities. Remember, it is better to do fewer activities and to do your best learning.

Reading Eggs. Continue with your next task of spelling and sound work. Choose a book from the Reading Eggs library. Did you enjoy this book? Why? Write a note in your Reading Diary.

Writing Use your writing book, write independently for 15-20 minutes. You may like to write a: ● Weekend Recount ● Continue with your animal report ● A reflection about a book you read on Reading Eggs.

Spelling Write your next 3 spelling words in your best handwriting. Can you put these words in 3 sentences using a capital letter and a full stop?

Soundwaves This week’s sounds are /ch/ like in beach and /sh/ like in shell. Find these on your Sound Mat and practise singing the chant to match. Remember we don’t make the sound of each letter, these two letters go together to make one sound!

Mental Maths *Attach your next Mental Maths pages to your booklet from last week.* Complete the first and second Mental Maths pages for this week, writing all of the numbers that come after and the next 2 numbers. Number Practise – Higher or Lower Using playing cards or number cards you have made yourself on pieces of paper, work in a small group (with a partner or your whole family), sitting in a circle. Have a deck of cards in the middle of the circle, face down. The first player turns one number card over. They then have to guess if the next number card will be higher or lower than that number. That player repeats this process until they are incorrect, and they then get to keep the ‘stack’ of all of the cards that they have turned over. It is then the next player’s turn. Once all of the cards in the deck have been turned over, each player counts up how many cards they kept. The player with the most cards in their stack/the most correct guesses, is the winner.

Jump Rope for Heart Jump Off! As we are unable to complete our annual Jump Rope for Heart Jump Off at school all together, this year you can skip at home. If you don’t have a skipping rope at home, string, hose or the imaginary rope will be fine. Here are some of the skills you may have practised at school in PE:

● Two feet jump ● Gallop ● Side swing ● Criss Cross or crossover ● Double under ● Pretzel ● Dipsy Doodle ● Partner skipping ● or any other trick/skill that you

may know how to do. Take a photo or video of yourself participating in our virtual jump off and send in via the Seesaw activity.

Next Sunday is Father’s Day. This week if you would like to, create a Father’s Day card or Grandfather’s Day card. There is

a sheet for you to complete at the end of our weekly plan if you would like to give dad a surprise on Sunday! Remember to keep it hidden..shhhhh!!

A message on the footpath Brighten a walkers day today with a smiley face or a message of happiness on your footpath in chalk. You could say, ‘Have a lovely day.’ “Hello,” ‘Welcome Spring,” or draw a picture that will brighten the day of someone walking past your house.

English Maths Physical Activity ART

You have 45-60 minutes for English.

Reading This week in reading we are making inferences and learning to infer. This means that we use our prior knowledge, the title and clues from the text to help us understand what is happening in the story. Listen to the story of The Rainbow Fish. How were the other fish feeling? Why? How was Rainbow Fish

behaving? Why? What made every fish feel better about themselves and their behaviour? https://www.storylineonline.net/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/TheRainbowFish.jpg Handwriting Using your best handwriting, complete the next page of your WritingTime Handwriting Book, letter Zz. Practice this letter using the correct formation in your Kid Writing book, using the lines. Soundwaves and Grammar - word family ‘ip’ Create a rhyming list of words that end in ‘ip’ - lip, sip, slip, rip, clip, whip, snip, dip, drip..add on. Allow the children to hear and record the sounds in a list so they see the repetitive ending, the pattern of the sounds ‘ip’. Can you make a word ending in ‘ip’ that starts with /ch/ or /sh/. Write a sentence with these 2 words and draw a picture to match.

Mental Maths Complete the third Mental Maths page for this week, adding +1 each time.

Trick shot Tuesday

There have been some fantastic trick shots the last two weeks. Let’s see if we can make the trick shot even harder this week!

Can you create a different shot to the one you did last week? A different spot in the house, a different piece of equipment, different materials.

Think:

● Table tennis ball in a cup

● Basketball shot from a distance or over your head

● Football/soccer kick into a bin from around a corner

● Frisbee through two trees

● Tennis ball throw - knocking over a bottle

● Behind the back throwing

● Golf putt or chip

Check out the Weebly website for some awesome student trick shots they have done in the last two weeks.

Mud Painting and Drawing

Famous land artist Richard Long creates a permanent massive pattern mud

painting on the inside wall of a building using only his hands and a bucket of

watery mud from a cherry picker. See it

painted from beginning to end on this 17 minute video here:

https://youtu.be/JD2Ai_BECbg

See a different way of mud painting to

make pictures of things with details using lots of different tones of mud and

brushes in this short video here:

https://youtu.be/vEVyacmtaTU

Make a mud painting on any surface, it can be on paper, bark, concrete or ask

your parents or carer to use a fence or wall. Make your mud first in a container, you can collect different tones of mud or

just the one, then you can use either your fingers, hands or brushes. What will you paint with it? A pattern or a

picture? It’s your choice.

Gratitude is the Attitude!

Gratitude is a positive emotion. It’s about focusing on what is good in our lives and being thankful for the things we have! It’s fun to find things for which you are grateful. You can be grateful for a person, a place, or something else, like a family trip or sunset. When you remind yourself to be grateful, you are happier, healthier and more present. (Big Life Journal)

Have a go at completing the following journal page or head to the Well-Being Page for a Gratitude

Game the whole family can enjoy…

Remember, it’s not happy people who are grateful, it is grateful people who are happy! This week’s Community Connection Event is our ‘Brighten the Day’ Parade. More Information can be found on the Well Being Page.

Off on another adventure!

Ladies and gentlemen, we remind you

that as we approach the active

Volcano, you must remain close to your

guide. Please stay on the marked path

for your best view of sloths, toucans

and monkeys.

We hope that you packed your

binoculars, as this week we are

venturing through the jungles, banana

plantations and volcanoes of Costa

Rica.

Download the ‘Choose your own

Adventure’ page from the Specialist

section of the website, and learn about

Costa Rica. Maybe you’ll be looking at

street art by famous artist Nega,

simulating a volcanic eruption using

kitchen ingredients, or observing

beautiful birds. Remember you can

complete just one or as many of the

activities as you like!

When finished, fill in another page of

your ‘Pasaporte’. Add the date, a

picture of the flag, and then draw or

write about your stay in Costa Rica.

Friday - 9am zoom meeting Block One Blocks Two and Three Block Four

English Maths Physical Activity Music Reading - Inferring and Writing - Animal Reports We use our prior knowledge and clues to help us understand the meaning of a story. Watch the ABC Miniscule clip below. Without words we can follow the story! Use your knowledge of insects and life cycles to retell this story. You are inferring, using your knowledge and skills to do this . Write at least 3 sentences in your Kid Writing Book to explain what this story is about. https://youtu.be/yqc4ZQwJYoU Spelling Test your spelling! Hopefully there is someone at home who can read out your 3 words to you while you write them down. Highlight the correct words on your Oxford Sheet in your small spelling book and then write out your new (or same) 3 words for next week.’

Soundwaves and Grammar - word family ‘ug’ Create a list of ‘ug’ words. The Miniscule clip above will get you started - bug, ladybug, slug, snug, hug, rug. Can you make a silly sentence (that makes sense) using some of these words? The bug gave the slug a slimy hug. Draw a picture to match.

Place Value Warm Up Write the numbers 0 to 9 on separate cards or scraps of paper and place them in a hat. Then draw out two (or three) cards out of the hat. You can make different numbers. For example, if you pull out the numbers 3, 6, and 9, you could make 3, 6, 9, 36, 39, 93, 96, (or 396, 693), etc. Challenge yourself to make as many numbers as possible using the cards. What is the smallest number you can make? What is the largest number? *Help your child compare numbers by looking at the largest place value.*

Game Time – Then Play either of the following games: Place Value Race: 1. Deal the cards into two (for playing with tens), three (for playing with hundreds) or four (for playing with thousands) piles per player. 2. To begin play, each player turns over the top card from each of their piles. The player with the number of highest value wins the skirmish, placing all of their own and their opponent’s cards into a collected pile. 3. Repeat until all of the cards have been played. The player with the most cards in their collected pile is the winner.

Roll to 100: Children work in a pair to play this game. Take turns rolling one or two dice and then making the total of your roll using interlocking blocks (like Lego), or any other materials you have at home (icy-pole sticks, jellybeans, pebbles, etc.). Keep rolling your dice and gathering more blocks (or materials) and when you have a group of 10 ones, you can swap it for a rod/stick (or group) of 10. Continue rolling and swapping for sticks/groups of 10 every time you reach 10 ones. You can keep track of how many blocks (or materials) you have altogether, by lining them up on or next to the hundred grid. When you have collected 100 blocks (or materials) you can play again.

Flexible Friday Choose any activity that you wish to get your 30 minutes for the day.

● Ride your bike/scooter/skateboard/rollerblades.

● Play a game we have already played this week.

● Play something that we play in PE that you could play at home.

Choose your own adventure!

Costa Rica ¡Elije tu propia adventura!

Go Bananas

Costa Rica is a banana lover’s para-dise! Because of the tropical climate, and fertile, volcanic soil, bananas grow perfectly all over the country. Costa Rican growers have been ex-porting bananas for over 100 years, and apparently 1 in every 3 bananas eaten in the world are eaten originally from Costa Rica.

Can you:

guess how much banana weighs and then use scales to measure

have a banana eating contest!

freeze some bananas to make delicious smoothies

watch the video on the Spanish page on the home learning web-site about growing bananas

Street Art Culture

Costa Rica is full of colours—the jungles, beaches and old buildings. The capital city, San José also has some great street

art, adding to their colourful culture.

Look out for street art when you’re next out for a walk—do you know where the big wave is? Or the mu-ral at the foreshore caravan park? Or at the Kongwak market?

Watch a video of Costa Rican street artist Negus

Make a graffiti style name tag for yourself, and others in your family

Create street art on a safe footpath with chalk!

Make natural ’beach art’ using sea-weed, shells and sand!

Volcanic Adventure

Costa Rica has 5 active and more than 200 dormant volcanoes!

Volcano fun:

Make a volcano of Lego, playdough or sand?

What about mashed potato with tomato sauce or dinner?

Or a REAL eruption experie-ment—check out Karen, from our local library, in the video!

Listening Adventure

Costa Rica is a popular place for bird watching. Tourists visit the jun-gles to observe colourful birds chirp-ing away.

Spend some time bird watching. It could be in your yard at home, or out on a walk. The Screw Creek nature walk is a great place to ob-serve birds, as well as Ayre Creek Lagoon and Thompsons Reserve!
