Writing - Handwriting
It can be tricky to focus on handwriting at home when you don’t have your school books with the lines you are used to. Today we are going to learn about where your letters should be positioned on the lines. This way you will know what you’re writing should look like regardless of what paper you are using when working from home. Watch this video of Miss Marnoch explaining today’s lesson. Here is a PDF of lined paper that could be helpful for this lesson and other writing tasks. 1. Write the alphabet in your neatest handwriting. Write all head letters blue, all body letters
green and all tail letters purple. If you don’t have these colours choose your own. 2. Sort letters into 3 groups, similar to what we did above but this time you are going to sort
the letters under the titles: • Head letters • Body letters • Tail letters
3. Re-write the sentences below in your neatest handwriting. - The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog. - The five boxing wizards jump quickly. - My girl wove six dozen plaid jackets before she quit. - Farmer jack realized that big yellow quilts were expensive. - Brown jars prevented the mixture from freezing too quickly. You may have noticed something special about these sentences. They are called pangrams. A pangram is a sentence that uses every letter of the alphabet at least once. Extra challenge: Write a pangram or a sentence that uses as many letters of the alphabet as possible.
Mathematics Warm-up - Here is Miss Humphrey explaining this week’s warm up
Hidden numbers What numbers are hidden? How do you know? How can you prove it?
Place value -Stepping stones card game Here is Miss Humphrey explaining how to play stepping stones. You will need:
- Game board (you can draw it or use this PDF) - Playing cards (Ace-9) or 0-9 dice - A pencil
How to play · Throw two 9-sided dice or turn over 2 cards in the 0-9 range. · The two numbers are used to make a 2-digit number which is recorded on one of the stepping stones. When placing numbers on stepping stones, you must ensure the numbers are in the correct order (see example). · If a student rolls the dice and makes a 2-digit number that does not fit as part of the sequence, they need to put their cards at the bottom of the pile and try again. · The aim of the game is to record all numbers thrown without missing a turn. Other ways to play
• If you would like to play making 3-digit numbers, you will need to create a gameboard that has 0 in the first stepping stone and 1000 in the last one.
• To play with a partner, use two game boards. Take turns flipping the cards and filling numbers. You will miss a turn if you can’t record your number on a stepping stone. First to fill all of the stones wins!

Mindfulness task Good things are all around us. Even in tough times. Today I want you to write a list of 3 good things from today. They may be as simple as a pretty cloud, a nice bite of sandwich or a smile from your mum. Have a think and write down the first 3 that come to mind.
PDH- Growth Mindset Children with a growth mindset believe that intelligence can be developed. These students see school as a place to develop their abilities and think of challenges as opportunities to grow. Watch the video to see an example. This is a story of two seeds – both planted on the same day, in the same soil, in the same garden bed. One has a growth mindset—with a curious desire to grow and reach the outside world—while the other has a fixed mindset—filled with fear and choosing to remain stagnant in its soil. Nobody is perfect... appreciate your mistakes and failures and switch on your growth mindset, to learn from them. Watch this slideshow of Ms Cheney revealing the ‘magic’ word and for today’s lesson. Here is an activity to develop your growth mindset by thinking about three goals.
1. Write three things you can’t do or have trouble doing. 2. Write ‘yet’ at the end of each sentence. 3. Now write what you can do to work towards achieving your goals by adding, ‘but I
can...’ 4. Option – choose one of the goals you are working towards and draw a picture of you
working towards achieving that goal.
Sound 2
To play this game you will need a dice. (you could use a dice app on a device if you don’t have one). You will need to decide if you are going to use sound 1 or sound 2. You could mix and match if you would like. Roll the dice and write the sound it corelates with on a piece of paper. Do this four times. If you get the same number roll again. You should have 4 different sounds on four different pieces of paper. Move the paper around to see how many words you can make. You may just like to use those letters or you can add some more in to make bigger words. See how many you can make.
Writing - Comprehension As you all know, it is super important to continue reading each and every day. Today I want you to pick up a book and read it. You might read a reader, a picture book or you might choose to read a chapter from a novel. Below are several comprehension questions. Choose 5 questions and answer them in full sentences. Each answer should be 2-4 sentences long. Watch this video of Miss Marnoch answering the questions below in full sentences.
Where is the story set? How do you know? Imagine you have not read the book, by looking at the book cover, what would you think the story is about? What happened at the beginning, middle and end of the story? What do you think the author is trying to tell their readers? Is there a hidden message?
Who are the characters? Tell me about them. Did you learn anything from this story that you can use in your own life?
If your story had a sequel, what do you think would happen in the next book? How did the story make you feel? Why? Does the story remind you of any other books you’ve read? What were they and why? What do you think was the most important part of the story? Why?
Place value Exploring three-digit numbers Here is Miss Humphrey explaining how to complete this activity What you need
• Playing cards (0-9) • Recording sheet PDF or you can draw it
What to do
• Flip three cards to create a 3-digit number. • Record the number on the worksheet. • Draw the number using Base 10 blocks. • Expand the number by partitioning it according to place value.
Optional extra • Once you have made 5 numbers, can you put them into the correct order? • For each number you record, how would you reorganise the numbers to make the
biggest number possible? Or the smallest number possible?

Mindfulness Activity When we bounce a ball it can bounce way up high and it always comes down again. Draw yourself with some bouncy balls to show that life can be like this too. We have up and down bouncy days too, just like a bouncy ball.
Science Saving Electricity Last week, we looked around our house at all the places we used electricity. We found so many places we used electricity, just about everywhere! We also learned that electricity often comes from non-renewable sources like coal that causes greenhouse gas pollution which contributes to global warming. It’s important to save electricity wherever we can. Think about all the ways you might be able to save electricity around your house. Could you turn off some lights? Could you watch less TV? What about your air conditioning in summer? Do you need to have it set at quite such a low temperature? Miss P and Otto went to a friend’s place to teach her how to save electricity Saving Electricity with Otto Otto would love for you to make your own video of ways to save electricity, or else you could make a list of all the clever ways we can cut down on our energy usage.

Thursday English- Writing Today we are starting to learn about writing procedures. A procedure is a set of SPECIFIC step by step instructions directing you on how to successfully complete an activity. Procedures have 4 main parts: TITLE – Tells us what the instructions are going to get us to do. The title always starts with ‘How To..’ AIM (GOAL) – Tells us what we should have achieved by the end. MATERIALS – Tells us EVERYTHING we will need to have to complete the procedure. METHOD (STEPS) – Tells us EXACTLY how to complete the task. Today we are going to focus on the Title, Aim and Materials. You are going to write the Title, Aim and Materials sections for two or three (2 - 3) procedures.
1. Making fairy bread 2. Brushing your teeth 3. An activity of your choice! Watch this video of Mr Adam explaining the task in more
detail and completing an example.
Library- from Miss Compton I Am Peace. Video
The word present can mean a gift, and it also describes what is happening right now, in this moment. Being present is all about connecting with the here and now. If you can, go outside, if not look out of a window so that you can connect with the earth. Wonder at the beauty of the natural world. Breathe, taste, smell, touch, and be present… Sit quietly and pay attention to what is going on right now using your five senses.
Write or draw your answers: Right now I see…. Right now I hear…. Right now I taste… Right now I smell… Right now I feel… Share your peace What is something kind that you did for someone else today? Write a sentence about it and illustrate it with a picture of yourself.

Data Graphs show us information as a visual image or picture. Watch this Video to practise interpreting information from graphs before you begin the activity.
The students in class 3R were asked to vote for their favourite fruit. They were only allowed to vote once. The results are shown in the picture graph. Each smiley face represents one vote. Show that you can interpret the information shown in the graph by answering the questions below.
1. Which fruit is the most popular? 2. Which fruit was the least popular? 3. How many children voted for pear? 4. How many more children voted for
apple than pear? 5. How many children voted
altogether? 6. Which fruits were voted for by less
than 7 children? 7. Did more children vote for pear or
banana? This picture graph is based on information collected in a local preschool class. Each child voted for their favourite animal. Each animal picture represents one vote. This time you need to write simple sentences to describe the data display. Some sentence ideas could be ‘The most popular....’, The least popular...’, More children voted for___ than ___’, ‘____ children voted for …’
Year 1 aim for 3 sentences. Year 2 aim for 5 – 6 sentences.

Mindfulness Activity We’ve all fallen in the playground and found ourselves on the ground. Life can be like this too sometimes and it can be very hard to get back up and keep going. But when we do, things begin to become clearer for us and we can see a way forward. Write and draw about a time you had to just pick yourself up and keep going.
Art - Weaving Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people have used grasses and reeds from their local environment for thousands of years. Items needed for hunting as well as for carrying and collecting food were made, along with ritual objects for use in religious ceremonies. The parts of many plants provide fibre to make string, bags, rope, baskets and mats. Weaving is physically hard work and is done mostly by the women. ‘When I do weaving and gathering of the materials it connects me and I feel connected to the land,’ Flora Warria.
Today you are going to have a go at weaving. You will need some wool and either sticks, paddle pop sticks or a paper plate depending on which one you choose to make - the butterfly, a rainbow or a turtle. Watch this video of Ms Cheney demonstrating how to weave.
• Sequential language (First, Secondly, Next, Then, Finally, Lastly) to show the order of the instructions.
• Nouns to tell us what objects we are going to use. • Verbs to tell us what we are doing with the objects • Adjectives and adverbs to describe the object or the verb.
Today you are going to create the method for a recipe for: Toasted Cheese Sandwich.
You still need to write the Title, Aim and Materials first. Watch this video of Mr Adam giving an example.
After you have finished you can reread and highlight your nouns (green), verbs (yellow), adjectives and adverbs (blue) and sequential language (pink).
