Reading

Learning intention: Experiment with punctuation to engage the reader and achieve purpose eg exclamation mark, hyphen and parentheses Last week for reading we focused on different punctuation markers that were used throughout a text and we were able to explain how this particular punctuation has helped the reader. So just to recap, punctuation markers help the reader in understanding the writer's intended message. Sometimes the use of punctuation makes it easier to read and comprehend the writer's ideas. Depending

on where they are placed or if they are used at all, commas, apostrophes, and other marks affect a sentence's message. Above is an image showing different punctuation markers we can use and examples on how it may look in a text. Today we are going to be focusing on ‘parentheses’ ( ) . This punctuation marker is used to set off extra information that further explains or clarifies an idea. They are used similarly to commas and hyphens when they also come in pairs.

An example of parentheses: Crustaceans - Around 1 300 species, including a number that are

commercially important (for example, some species of crabs and prawns).

On a keyboard these are the buttons needed to be pressed to reach the parenthese buttons on a keyboard. Activity:

1. Your task today is to complete the Parentheses cloze passage. You will need to insert a pair of parentheses in the following sentences.

2. Read a paragraph titled ‘Oceans’, then highlight punctuation marks by colour

coding them according to a grid. ----------------------------------------------------------->

Problem of the day: If Sally has ⅖ less of her chocolate bar than David who has 1 whole chocolate bar, how much does Sally have?

● We have been looking at fractions and where they are placed on a number line ● We know that if the numerator is smaller than the denominator the fraction is less than 1 (these

fractions are called proper fractions). If the numerator is larger than the denominator these fractions are called improper fractions)

0 1 This fraction is ⅘ - notice how it is less than 1

BREAK – 45 minutes Mathematics - Year 4

Learning Intention: Apply knowledge of decimals to record measurements (link back to length). Model, compare and represent decimals of up to two decimal places. State the place value of digits in decimal numbers of up to two decimal places

Problem of the day

Meera is 153cm tall. Write her height in metres using decimal notation.

Decimal Place Value

Watch the following video which explains the place value of decimal numbers. Our main focus is tenths and hundredths but you can

watch all the way through to also learn about thousandths. https://www.khanacademy.org/math/cc-fifth-grade-math/imp-place-value-

and-decimals/imp-decimal-place-value-intro/v/place-value-with-decimals

The following image highlights the place value columns we are examining today

Page 10: Smithfield West Public School - smithfielw-p.schools.nsw

Your task

Your job is to take the following numbers and write them out in expanded notation. An example has been completed for you based on

the above number 3 528.74. To write this number out in expanded notation (the sum of its parts), we write the following;

- 3000 + 500 + 20 + 8 + 7/10 + 4/100

The extension of your learning is to just include the decimal numbers as a fraction.

Write out the following numbers in expanded notation

1. 2.56 = 2. 12.4 = 3. 0.6 = 4. 0.05 = 5. 78.65 =

6. 312.06 = 7. 405.9 = 8. 2009.63 = 9. 3.213 = 10. 0.012 =

We use decimal numbers all the time in measurement. This allows us to accurately measure objects. If we are measuring in

centimetres (cm), not all objects will be exactly a whole number when measured in cm. We use millimetres (mm) for space in between

a whole cm. We can just as accurately measure objects using centimetres if we use decimal notation. 1 cm = 10 mm. This means that

Page 11: Smithfield West Public School - smithfielw-p.schools.nsw

each mm is 1/10 of a cm. We know from above that in dealing with tenths, this is our first decimal place. Thus, 12 mm will be equal to 1

whole cm and 2/10 of a cm. Written as decimal, this will be 1.2cm. (This will be explained in ZOOM if this is confusing for you)

Convert the following measurements from mm to cm.

1. 23mm = 2. 14mm = 3. 8mm = 4. 60mm = 5. 78mm =

6. 112mm = 7. 306mm = 8. 423mm = 9. 140mm = 10. 6.7mm =

Challenge

Find 5 objects from around your house that have a length of less than 30cm (the size of most rulers). If you have a ruler at home,

measure the object and record its length in both cm and mm. Include your findings below:

Reading

Learning intentions: Skim a text for overall message and scan for particular information eg headings, keywords Identify the features of online texts that enhance navigation Identify features of online texts that enhance readability including text, navigation, links, graphics and layout Identify and analyse the different organisational patterns and features to engage their audience Informative texts educate the reader about a specific topic.

Yesterday we revised the following terms: hyperlink, pop up, side bar, audio, view 360 tour and url. We also identified features of online texts that enhance navigation, for example: audio, drop down bars, interactive quizzes, videos etc. Even though we visited online sites to gather information, how do we know we can trust the information we read through research? Today’s lesson, you will look at reliable and unreliable websites. Reliable sources have links to verifiable, current evidence, unreliable sources do not. Reputable news articles usually link their sources within the paragraphs and the links should take the reader to the main source of information, which itself is also a reliable source.

Activity: 1. Comparing different websites, you will need to fill in the table discussing how they are different and how they are

the same? Which is more reliable and which isn't?

Mathematics

Year 3

Learning intention: Place halves, quarters, thirds and eighths on number lines between 0 and 1 and beyond 1

Recognise and explain the relationship between the value of a unit fraction and its denominator

Important vocabulary to remember: whole, part, equal parts, half, quarter, eighth, third, fifth, one-third, one-fifth, fractions, whole number, fractional part, number line, proper fraction, improper fraction, mixed numeral

Page 16: Smithfield West Public School - smithfielw-p.schools.nsw

Problem of the day:

● Count by fifths until you get to the number 5 ● Look at the Powerpoint slide titled, ‘Wednesday Year 3 fractions’ and follow the instructions ● Remember to ‘turn in’ the Powerpoint if working online, otherwise complete the sheets

For further assistance please watch the instructional video provided on Google classroom Year 4

Learning intention: Use place value to partition decimals of up to two decimal places

Problem of the Day

If 58 out of 100 students in a school are boys, then write a decimal for the part of the school that consists of boys.

Partitioning Decimals

Just like whole numbers, we can partition decimal numbers in non-standard ways. For example, the decimal 0.43. In expanded form, this

would be represented as 0.43 = 4/10 + 3/100. We can however partition the values differently and represent this whole decimal as 43/100.

The trick in doing this is to look at the place value column a decimal number goes up to. We can then write this decimal number as a fraction

with a denominator that matches the place value column that our decimal number goes up to. (A little confusing and we will explain this on

ZOOM but look at the example below.)

The decimal 0.56 can be expanded to 5/10 + 6/100. If I was to put these together, my decimal number finishes at the hundredths column, so

my total fraction must be a number over a hundred = 56/100

Page 17: Smithfield West Public School - smithfielw-p.schools.nsw

Complete this table for the following decimal numbers (the first 3 have been completed as examples for you)

Decimal Number Expanded notation Decimal as a total fraction

0.85 8/10 + 5/100 85/100

1.36 1 + 3/10 + 6/100 1 36/100

Creative Arts – Dance The Elements of Dance

In dance the body is our primary instrument. How it moves in space is in the dance artist's way of communicating emotions, ideas and stories. In dance, movement can be broken into elements; - Space

- Time - Dynamics (Energy)

Page 19: Smithfield West Public School - smithfielw-p.schools.nsw

- Relationships (Body & Action)

Space: Where? This element is about how the dancer uses the space in various ways.

● levels ● direction ● pathways ● size ● self space and general space ● shape ● elevation ● distance

Time: When? Time is the rhythmic use of the body either to music, sound or voice.

● tempo - fast to slow, accelerate, decelerate ● rhythms ● accent - single movement, multiple movements, on

beat ● stillness ● duration - how long

Dynamics: How? Sometimes referred to as energy, dynamics is how the dancer moves in their space.

● tension - tight to loose ● flow - smooth to jagged ● force - strong to gentle ● weight - heavy to light

Relationship: Who? This is how we move by ourselves but also in relation to other dancers, performers and objects. Including how we connect body parts with ourselves and others, and proximity to others things and people in space.

● groupings - solo, group formation ● spatial - over, under, through, around, beside, in front

of, near, far ● interaction - mirror, meeting, parting, lead, follow ● connecting - body parts with self or others or objects

Your task: Watch the following dance clips and identify 5 things that you can identify within the performance that relate to the elements of dance. For example:

Page 20: Smithfield West Public School - smithfielw-p.schools.nsw

© NSW Department of Education, Jul-212

● grouping (how many people are performing), ● elevation (the different heights of performers throughout the dance), ● spatial (how the dance is spaced out on the stage), ● tempo (how fast or slow each movement is) ● interaction (how the dancers in the performance interact with each other) ● levels (different dancers at different heights throughout the performance) ● stillness (do the dancers stand still at any time)

The Mathematics

Year 3

Learning intentions: Use hefting to identify objects that have a mass of ‘more than’, ‘less than’ and ‘about the same as’ one kilogram discuss strategies used to estimate mass, eg referring to a known mass Important vocabulary to remember: mass, balance, measure, estimate, kilogram, gram, morethan, less than

● Last week we introduced kilograms (kg) and grams (g). Before you start this activity, go to your fridge or cupboard and take out some items measured in kilograms and grams. Feel the weight in the palms of your hands to familiarise yourself with how they feel in terms of their weight. It would be of great benefit if you can find something which weighs 1 kilogram

Hint: anything that is a liquid eg soft drink, milk, juice etc can not be measured in kilograms and grams, these items are measured in millilitres and litres

● Today we are looking at hefting. Hefting is basically estimating when we lift or hold something to determine which of the two items is heavier or what weight we think the item is.

● Complete the ‘hefting at home’ worksheet

For further assistance please watch the instructional video provided on Google classroom Year 4

Learning intention: Record masses using the abbreviation for grams (g) Compare two or more objects by mass measured in kilograms and grams, using a set of scales

Page 27: Smithfield West Public School - smithfielw-p.schools.nsw

We introduced kilograms (kg) and grams (g) last week. These measures are used to measure the mass or how heavy an object is. Like last week, if you have access to kitchen or bathroom scales, this will help you undertake this activity. Find 5 items around your house that you think weigh less than 1 kg or 1 000g. Place them in order from lightest to heaviest based on your own estimates. Check that you are correct by using the kitchen scales. Fill out the table below for your 5 items.

Item Estimate of mass in grams Actual Weight in grams

If you do not have kitchen scales, search on the Internet to see if they have an estimated weight of your object.

L Learning intention: Interpret statements, and discuss the use of kilograms and grams, on commercial packaging

Yesterday you tried to find objects from around the house that weighed less than 1kg. Today, repeat the same activity except this time you are trying to find items that weigh over 1kg. As per yesterday, try and find 5 items around your house that you think weigh more than 1kg (make sure you are safe and do not use objects that are too heavy for you to lift). Estimate the weight of each object and place them into ascending order. If you have scales at home, measure the weight of each object. If you do not have scales, use the internet to find an accurate measurement of the weight of the object.
