Spelling  

SPELLING HAS CHANGED 

 

Log onto Soundwaves and look at your list words for Unit 25 - (or/ore/aw - horse). Choose 5-10 words that you can’t confidently spell. Using the ‘Speller’s Choice Menu’, pick an activity (or two) to practise the words you have chosen. Try to choose activities you haven’t completed yet.. *Speller’s Choice Menu is in the Spelling Resources section on the 5/6 Weebly page. OPTIONAL During the week, use the Soundwaves website to practice your spelling. You can complete the ‘Activity Pages’ or the segmenting tool.

Reading Continue reading/listening to ‘Once’ by Morris Gleitzman. Listen to Chapter 10 and answer the following questions. 1. Use an example of

Felix’s behaviour or ‘self-talk’ that shows his unusual level of maturity and self-awareness. Explain.

2. What story ‘saved his life’ and what connections has he finally made?

*You will find the video of Mr. V reading ‘Once’ in the Literacy Resources sections on the 5/6 Weebly page.

Writing

This week for your historical fiction you will be writing a diary entry. Remember diary entries show the deep and personal feelings that someone is going through. Some diary recounts of historical events are famous now. Think Anne Frank from World War 2. You can use these for some research but remember yours will be fiction. Today, select your historical event (one you haven’t written about yet) and do some research. Some events could be: ● Vikings ● Suffragettes ● Gay marriage (legalised) ● Vietnam War ● Marie

Antionette/French Revolution

Mental Maths The weekly Mental Maths sheets are broken up into Monday - Thursday daily questions. These questions should get you thinking. They should have you using the knowledge and skills that you already have. Choosing a suitable level is important. Make sure you are comfortable with the questions and that they DO get you thinking. Complete all the questions in the set that you can. If you wish you can complete more than one level! Complete these in your maths book. Write the question and answer. Keep well organised - you may use your book for working out as well. Alternatively, you can print the sheet.

Note: You may complete these as a daily activity and do one set of questions per day. You can also choose to answer more than one day at once. Be flexible and make it work for YOU. *Mental Maths sheets and answers are located in the Maths Resources section on the 5/6 Weebly page. Answers will be posted on Friday.

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

Geography At the end of the 6 weeks of Flexible and Remote Learning, you will present a project on a country of your choice. When we say present your project that means on a poster etc. It does not mean you need to do an oral presentation to your class. You may present your information in any way you choose. It may be a poster, Prezi, website, video, PowerPoint presentation etc. Make sure your work is presented in a neat and interesting way. Today, research a country of your choice. Choose one that you may want to travel to, have a connection or family history with. Your project will need to include the following information.

1. Compare livability to Australia with your country. Identify Australia’s connection to your country. This may be family, travel, business, trading etc. You may use a venn diagram.

2. Discuss and compare a range of factors including climate, population, government, environment that are unique in your country.

3. Represents data of countries using a range of skills such as tables and maps.

You will find the rubric to help you with this Inquiry Project in the SWIM resources section on the 5/6 page.

 

Tuesday BLOCK 1  BLOCK 2  BLOCK 3 OPTIONAL:BLOCK 4 English  Maths  Physical Activity  ART 

Reading Read a book of your choice for 15-20 minutes. Today you will be completing a descriptive and detailed book talk. You can do it on the book you are currently reading or on a book you have recently finished. It may even be a picture story book. Remember book talks need to start with a hook, include a summary and a recommendation or opinion. You can write this in your Reading Book and read it to a friend or family member if you wish.

Writing Today you will begin planning your diary entry. Remember to include - ● significant dates and make

sure that the events flow in the correct order.

● vocabulary that would have been used at that time.

You may choose to do one diary entry or several, to show the characters emotions over a duration of time. Remember that historical fiction is based on true events and details, with fictional characters. Put yourself in the moment.

Tech Maths Today your task is to engage with some interactive tasks. Access -

Here you have a pod of set tasks named Revision Mentals: Yr 5: 97-108 Yr 6: 133-144 Remember you can have a paper and pencil next to you to help you work out answers. If you don’t complete all of the tasks you can always revisit in the next few days and complete the pod.

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 massive permanent 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://www.youtube.com/watch_popup?v=JD2Ai_BECbg&feature=youtu.be

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://www.youtube.com/watch_popup?v=vEVyacmtaTU&feature=youtu.be

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.

If you would like to, send a video to the Weebly website of your dancing.

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 Wellbeing page for a gratitude game that 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 Wellbeing page on the FARL website.

For more OPTIONAL Family Fun Activities and Positive Coping Strategies, please go to the Wellbeing page on the FARL website.

2. The second set of problems are

multi step problems that will require a number of calculations to find an answer.

Make sure to write the required sums in the order that you do them to find your answer.

Throwback Thursday

Hand string

Hand string is an activity that will help develop fine motor skills and hand eye coordination. There are many different figures you can make and plenty of videos on YouTube that can help you along the way.

Below is a link with numerous figures you can make. Have a go at making as many as you can.

https://pin.it/4jTxX1l

Send in a photo using the Weebly FARL website of a string figure that you were able to create.

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.

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!
