Week beginning - 20 April 2020

 

Parents: the dot points under Tasks can help you to arrange days and tasks. Feel free to suit your family's schedule - we know they are all different.

We recommend spreading tasks throughout the week.

As well as Reading every day, try to do one Task (or part of a task) from these sections on any day - Writing, Maths, Inquiry and Wellbeing.

 

Try to complete all tasks by the end of the week.

You will need your Epic class code and Sunshine Online login details this week. These were sent in an email letter to your parents.

 

Reading

 

Learning Intentions:

We are increasing our reading stamina (the amount of time we can read without stopping).

We are retelling a story using pictures or words.

We are listening and responding to a text.

We are reading to someone and reflecting on what we did well.

 

Tasks:

• 20-30 minutes Read your Just Right Book (JRB) independently every day. Try to increase the amount of time you read each day. A JRB can be your take home book or a book of your choice. Remember to record the book in your reading log (lined books).

  20-30 minutes Click here to access the story Clever Crow on Story Box Library. Username and password are below.

• Listen to the story Clever Crow. Once you have listened to the story, retell the story by drawing pictures or writing.

• Click here to log onto Epic. 

  When you log onto Epic! any new book assigned to everyone in the class will appear as a pop up, letting you know your teacher has chosen a book for you all and it will be the first book in your list. 

  Click on the blue mailbox at the top right hand side of the page and this takes you to the list of all your individual books. 

  You can listen to a book being read to you, as well as practising reading this aloud for fluency.
  
  

  • Enter your class code, find your name and click on it.   
    • Choose a book to read from your selection list located in your mailbox (top right hand corner). 
    • Read the book and then respond using some of the sentence starters below. Use your lined writing book.
      
      • I like/ dislike this book because …
      • This book makes me think about…
      • This character/place/event reminds me of… because…
      • A question/ wondering I have about this book is…
      • Use your writing book to record your responses.
• Choose a book to read aloud to someone at home. This may be your library book, take home book or a book of your choice. Once you have read aloud, tell the person what you think you did well in your reading today. Now ask someone at home to read a book to you.

Writing

 

Learning Intentions:

We are describing a picture.

We are writing sentences with interesting adjectives.

We are following a procedure and writing a reflection. 

We are forming anticlockwise letters.

Tasks: 

• 20-30 minutes Look at the Autumn Morning picture and talk about what you see with someone at home. In your writing book, write the title Autumn Adjectives. Write a list of all the things you see. Remember to use adjectives (describing words). Take a coloured pencil and circle all the adjectives you have used. An adjective describes a noun.

 

 

• 20-30 minutes Look at the Autumn Morning picture above. Choose some words you listed in your book about the picture. Write at least one sentence to describe the picture. Remember to use adjectives, capital letters and full stops.
  
  • For example, The reflection of the snow-capped mountains shimmered in the crisp water.
• 20-40 minutes ANZAC day is held each year on the 25^th April. To commemorate ANZAC Day, many people make ANZAC biscuits.

 

‘Anzac biscuits have long been associated with the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps (ANZAC) established in World War I. The biscuits were sent by wives and women's groups to soldiers abroad because the ingredients do not spoil easily and the biscuits kept well during naval transportation.’

 

Remember a recipe is a type of procedure. Read the ANZAC Biscuits recipe. If you have the ingredients, follow the recipe to make the biscuits, or use another biscuit recipe. Once you have finished, write about what you did and how the biscuits turned out in your writing book.
If you are unable to make biscuits, choose something else you have made at home and write about this instead.

 

• 20 minutes Look at the handwriting example below. Copy and continue the handwriting into your lined book. Remember to use correct posture and pencil grip.

• 
  

You could create your own sentences using words starting with a or c.

 

 

Maths

 

Learning Intentions:

We are practising adding numbers to make 10 (number bonds).

We are making a schedule about the things we do in a day.

We are asking questions to collect data.

We are using data to make a picture graph.

• 30-40 minutes You will be recording the time you do different activities in one day. In your scrapbook, write the date at the top of a page. For every activity you do today, record the time you started it and what the activity was. Activities could include the time you woke up, had breakfast, brushed your teeth, read a book, played a game and so on. You may write the digital or analogue time, or both.

Ask everyone in your home what their favourite ice-cream flavour is. Do not forget to include your favourite flavour too! Record each answer using tally marks and write the total number of people at the end.

You may wish to contact other family members or friends by phone, text or email and ask them what is their favourite ice-cream flavour? You will need to ask an adult at home to help you with this.

For more information about tally marks, click here to log into Epic. Choose the book Tally Charts from your mailbox.

 

• 30-40 minutes Click here to log into Epic. Choose the book Pictographs from your mailbox. Pictographs are another name for a picture graph.

• Draw a line across the middle of the page.
• Write the flavours vanilla, chocolate, strawberry and mint choc-chip underneath the line.
• Draw an ice-cream above the line for every person who chose that flavour.

Inquiry

 

Learning Intentions:

We are observing the weather each day

We are learning to compare weather in two different parts of Australia

We are brainstorming different ways we use water in our home.

Tasks:

• Fill in your weather journal each day.
• Look at the map of Australia and find Darwin and Mt Buller. What do you notice about Darwin and Mt Buller when you look at the map?

• Imagine you were going on holiday to both places. Draw a picture of things you would take to Darwin (hot weather) in June and a picture of things you would take to Mt Buller (cold weather) in June. You may include clothing, hats, sunscreen or skis and anything else you can think of. Please label the items.

Darwin	Mount Buller

• In your scrapbook, write the heading How I use water at home. Go on a walk around your home. Record different places you find water and write or draw how it is used. Water may be used for lots of different purposes in some places, such as the kitchen and bathroom.

Wellbeing:

Learning Intention:

We are recognising the difference between cheering up and calming down.

• Draw two pictures in your scrapbook. One picture will be of you feeling very calm and the other of you feeling very cheerful. Label your thoughts and feelings in each picture.
