Week Beginning - 27 July 2020

 

Keep up the great work guys!

 

Please remember to:

• set up a timetable for the day that works for everyone in your family;
• date your work;
• write in your neatest handwriting.
• try to complete one task from each section per day and please write in a sharp grey lead pencil.

                                                          

During the  week, there are 2 tasks which we would like you to photograph.
These will then need to be sent to your classroom teacher via the Sentral Parent Portal.
They will be used to provide feedback during Learning from Home. 

 

 

Try to organise and plan your week, spreading your learning tasks over your Learning from Home days.
Here's an example for five days, but your family might use different days for your learning. Please remember your Webex sessions as well!

Resilience, Rights and Respectful Relationships ‘Positive Coping’

 

Learning Intention:

We are identifying strategies that can help us calm down when we are upset

 

Task:

• Most of us have different things that we like to do to help us calm down when we feel angry, or to feel comforted when we are upset.
  For example, Mr Palmer-Leeraar likes to walk his dog to help him calm down.
  What are some things that you do to help you calm down when you are feeling sad, angry, lonely, frightened or worried?
  Try to think of 1-2 different examples so that we can share our ideas and make a class list of calming strategies in our Webex Check-in.
  (10-20 minutes)

We are learning to summarise a story.

Spelling

 

Learning Intention:

Tasks:

 

• Rhyming words are two or more words that have the same or similar ending sound. 
  When you are figuring out if two words rhyme, use your ears to listen as you say the words.
  If they sound the same or similar, they rhyme.

Writing

 

Learning Intentions:

We are learning to identify the structure of rhyming couplets.

We are learning how to write rhyming couplet poems.

 

‘Double, double, toil and trouble;

Fire burn and cauldron bubble.‘

 

These famous lines are an example of a rhyming couplet.

 

A rhyming couplet is as the name suggests, a couple - meaning two - of lines put together that rhyme.
Not only this, the couplet must be a complete thought or tell the full story.
The lines must also have the same or similar syllables and have the same rhythm.

 

Some examples of this are:

‘My favourite thing to do is play,

This is how I will spend my day.’

 

‘I love running about in the sun,

Playing with my friends and having fun.’

 

 

Tasks:

• Make a list of words that rhyme. For example; bite - bright; sleep - deep.
  Write at least 10 pairs.
  (15 minutes)
  
  
• Using the rhyming words from your list above, create your own rhyming couplets.
  (30 minutes)

‘Red is an apple, juicy to bite,

Red is a fire, blazing and bright.’

 

‘Down at the bottom of the deep dark sea

Something is stirring, it wants its tea.’

 

Make at least 5 different rhyming couplets. Remember, your couplets need to be a complete thought.

 

Success Criteria:

I can reconstruct a rhyming couplet poem.

I can create my own rhyming couplet poems.

 

Please ask your parents to take a photo of your rhyming couplets and send it to us via Sentral by Wednesday 29th July.

 

 

Maths

Learning Intention:

We are learning to represent subtraction through stories.

 

Tasks:

• Fluency Game: Click here and log in to ClickView. Watch the video titled ‘Maths Fluency Game 1’ with Mrs Morris and Mr Butler playing the game.
  Using a deck of cards, take out the picture cards.
  Deal out nine cards in a 3 x 3 grid. The cards should be facing up.
  Choose a magic number which you need to calculate.
  Pick up one card at a time.
  Then, using addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, try to get to the magic number.
  (15 minutes)
  Challenge: Use all the cards
  
  
• Here are some examples of Number Sentences and Subtraction Stories.

   

  Number Sentence:                  16 - 3 = ?

  Subtraction Story:                   Claire removes 3 pencils from a jar. There were originally 16 pencils in the jar.      

                                                     How many pencils are left?

   

  Number Sentence                   94 - 22 = ??

• Think of a question to ask your peers in your Webex group. For example, it could be ‘What is your favourite colour?’ or ‘What is your favourite food?’

                           

 

During our Webex Essential session on Wednesday, we will create a tally chart recording the responses.
Please make sure you bring your question, your homework book and a pencil.

P.E./Movement breaks:

 

Learning Intentions:

We are learning to practise our skipping skills

We are learning to explore a range of skipping skills

We are learning to display resilience when we face challenges in skipping

 

Task:

Last week, our focus was developing our skipping skills. Hopefully most of you have had some practice with some of the skills you learnt.

 

This week, we are going to continue practising so we can get better each week.
Remember to always find a safe space (inside/outside) to practise spinning the rope over your head and jumping over the rope.
If you don’t have a skipping rope, you can use a hula hoop, a spare rope or simply jump back and forth over a line on the ground. Once you are able to spin the rope over your head, practise forward and backward skipping.

 

Optional: Take a video or some pictures of you completing some of the skipping challenges and send them via Sentral to either Mr Marikar or Mrs Yue-Lamb.

 

CHALLENGE 1: Criss Cross

           

CHALLENGE 2: Single Side Swing and Jump

BONUS CHALLENGE: Double Under
