Grammar Verbs Verbs are words that tell what is happening in a sentence. There are different types of verbs. Action verbs describe the action that is happening e.g. I jumped over the puddle. In a space in your house or backyard, move around in different ways. Try to think of as many different ways as possible. For example, run, jump, hop. In your exercise book, write your verbs in a brainstorm or draw pictures of what you are doing and label. Choose five of your verbs and use them in sentences.

Writing Procedures Build a cubby house in your room or back yard. What did you need? How did you build it? Using the ‘Writing Procedures’ worksheet, create a step by step procedure to give instructions for how to make it. Take a photo of your cubby house and the completed worksheet and upload to

Grammar Verbs Verbs are very important words in procedures because they tell the reader what to do. When writing instructions in procedures, the verbs come first in the sentence.

For example, Put the ingredients in a bowl. Mix the ingredients.

Complete the Writing Procedures: Verbs worksheet.

Optional: Verbs also tell when something is happening: now, in the past, or in the future. This is called tense.

Procedures are written in present tense. Print out and play the tense game from TeachStarter: https://www.teachstarter.com/au/teaching-resource/simple-present-past-tense-match-cards-regular-verbs/

Writing Procedures When writing procedures, we need to include the following parts: 1. A heading (what you

will be making or doing) 2. Materials or ingredients

you need 3. Step by step

instructions in order 4. Optional: A conclusion

(what is the result or what to do now).

Think: Can you find examples of procedures around your home? Recipe books, instruction manuals, information on food packets.

Do: Cut out and paste the How to make pancakes procedure worksheet into your book in the correct order.

Label each part of your procedure with the labels: Heading, Materials, Instructions, and conclusion (if you have written one).

Think: What could these words mean? What meaning would make sense in the sentence? How could I find out the meaning? Do: In your exercise book, write down the five of your unknown words. Write or draw a picture of what you think it might mean.

Optional: What makes your family special to you? Make a card for your family using coloured pencils, coloured paper or any craft materials that you have. Inside write down all the reasons why your family is special to you. Give it to your family at dinner time.

Zayd has 20 cars. How can they divide the cars into equal groups so they will both have the same amount? How many

Mathematics Warm-Up Pick a number between 1 and 1000. Write a list of facts to help someone guess your number. Example: I am a three digit number. I am an odd number. I can be shared into three equal groups. I am lower than 300 but higher than 200. My digits add up to 11. I am half of 546. I am 273.

Mathematics Warm-Up The answer is a quarter. What might the question be? Fractions Recognising shared collections When recognising fractions of groups of objects, we must remember that fractions are equal parts of a whole. This means that all parts must be the same size.

Mathematics Warm-Up Pick a number between 1 and 1000. Write a list of facts to help someone guess your number. Fractions Fractions in the garden! Mrs Batman is checking the chicken hutch for eggs. She finds that half of the eggs are blue and half are white. Draw what this could look like and label it using fraction notation.

will they have each? Draw this in your ‘Learning from Home’ book. After Zayd and Kiran have been playing for a while, Stavros and Ajaye ask if they can play too. How can the 20 cars be divided equally between the four boys? How many cars will they have each? Draw this in your Learning from Home book. Extension: If Stavros brought his own car to add to the collection, could the cars still be shared equally? Why? Why not? Write your answers in your ‘Learning from Home’ books and show your working.

Fractions Watch the Fractions of Collections video on Seesaw. When we divide a collection of objects into 2 equal parts, we call each part a half.

Start with 2 marbles. Divide the marbles into 2 equal groups. How many in each? Draw them in your book. Example:

1/2 of 2 is 1

Now, try sharing 4 marbles equally into 2 groups.

1/2 of 4 is 2

Can you see a pattern forming? Continue the pattern in your book as far as you can go.

When we divide a collection of objects into 4 equal parts, we call each part a quarter.

This time, start with 4 marbles and divide them

Print out the worksheet attached to the bottom of the framework. Follow the instructions to complete the sheet, then paste into your workbook.

After collecting the eggs, Mrs Batman counts the chickens. There are 8 chickens in the hutch and ¼ of them are black. How many are black? How many are not black? While the students and teachers have been at home, the strawberries at the patch have grown! Mrs Batman finds 24 strawberries that she would like to share equally between 8 teachers. How many strawberries would she give to 1 teacher if she was giving them ⅛? Show your working.

Information ½ of the class chose a blue sticker ¼ of the class chose a yellow sticker The rest of the class chose a pink sticker. Draw the stickers and work out: 1. What fraction of

children chose the pink sticker?

2. How many children chose the blue sticker?

3. How many children chose the yellow sticker?

Extension: If the students got their stickers ½ an hour after school started, what time would they be getting their stickers?

equally into 4 groups. How many in each?

1/4 of 4 is 1

In your book draw 8 marbles and divide them equally into 4 groups. Don’t forget to write the equation underneath. Try again with 16 this time. What do you notice?

Visual Arts For these 2 weeks we are learning about fractions! The video below is a tutorial from an artist who teaches you how to draw a face, using fractions to mark where the eyes, nose and mouth should sit on a face. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3XsTkEXr2qo If you can’t watch it online, here are the instructions: 1. Draw an oval for the

face

2. Mark ½ way down the face. This is where the centre of the eyes go.

3. Mark ¼ from the bottom of the face. This is where the centre of the nose sits.

4. Mark ⅛ of the length of the face. This is where the mouth goes.

Science Seedling Observation Look at your seedling. Answer the following questions in your “Learning at home” book. 1. Has your seed grown? Describe what you can see. 2. How tall is your seedling? Use a ruler to measure it. 3. Predict how tall your seedling will be next Tuesday. 4. Draw a labelled drawing of your seedling underneath your answers. Continue to water your plant and provide it with sunshine each day. Lifecycles A life cycle is a series of changes that happens to all living things. Every life cycle is the same for every generation. For instance, a fly's life cycle begins as an egg. The egg develops into a fly, which grows until it lays an egg of its own.

Geography Weather and Seasons Stand outside and act out how you would feel if you were standing in different weather conditions. For example: Imagine it is sunny and pretend to put on a hat and sunscreen. Imagine it is cold and pretend to be rugged up in a warm coat. You might hug yourself to keep warm! Other weather conditions to act out: raining, windy, stormy. Now it’s time to think about the typical weather we have in each season in Australia. In your Learning at Home book, rule a page into 4 sections.

Summer Autumn

Winter Spring

Add these headings to each section: “Summer”, “Autumn”, “Winter”, “Spring”.

PDHPE Create an obstacle course around your house or garden. Come up with different movements you can do in different places. Write down the instructions for your obstacle course and then complete it yourself. You can also challenge someone in your family to complete it. Example: 1. Do 5 star jumps next to

the sofa. 2. Hop to the tv. 3. Then do 10 sit ups. 4. Skip to your bedroom. Do 12 frog jumps.

these rules to draw different facial expressions: e.g. happy, excited, sad, angry.

In each section, draw a picture of: 1. The weather in each

season 2. The types of clothes

you would wear in that season

For example, in the Summer section you could draw green leafy trees, a sun, a hat, sunglasses and a bottle of sunscreen. .
