Reading

• Each day you need to read a book from Bug Club to someone.

  When you finish a book, spend five minutes discussing the book with the person who listened to you read.
  
  After you have read your Bug Club book, read a ‘just right’ book independently.
  At the back of your lined book, record the title of the books you have read. 
  (15–20 minutes each day)

Learning Intention:
We are learning to visualise as we read

Task:

• This lesson will be taught during Webex Essential on Monday.
  Please come with a pack of coloured pencils and your scrapbook.
  Visualising is when you create pictures in your mind, using clues and descriptive details from the text as you read.
                   
  
  
• On Wednesday in Webex Essential, we will be listening to a poem, visualising in our minds what we hear and drawing what we see.
  Please come with a pack of coloured pencils and your scrapbook.
  
  
• Log on to ClickView and click here to listen to the poem ‘Beautiful Garden’.
  Open your scrapbook to a new page.
  Listen to the poem again and draw what you visualise (what you see).
  Listen to the poem as many times as you need to complete this picture.
  (20 minutes)
  
  Please ask a parent to take a photo of your picture and send it through the Sentral Parent Portal by Thursday afternoon. Written feedback will be given through the Sentral Parent Portal.
  
  Success Criteria
  • I have used clues from the text to visualise a garden and create a picture
  • I included at least five of the features from the poem in my garden

Writing

Learning Intention:
We are writing poems using alliteration

Task:

• Alliteration is the repetition of the same sound or letter at the beginning of each or many of the words in a sentence.
                   
  
  
• Here is an example of a poem using alliteration.
  
  Tim the terrific tiger
  Lives in a tiny town
  Eats tasty tim-tams and tomatoes on toast
  Likes talking about travelling and tornadoes   
  
  Choose an animal. Using the first letter of the animal’s name, create an alliteration poem about that animal.
  Use the following steps to help you:
  
  Line 1: Name of animal
  Line 2: Where it lives
  Line 3: What it eats
  Line 4: What it likes
  (20 minutes)

Learning Intention:
We are learning about onomatopoeia

Task:

• This lesson will be taught in Tuesday’s Webex Essential session.

We are creating sentences using onomatopoeia

Task:

• Onomatopoeia is a word that sounds like the thing or action it is describing.
  Look at the examples below.
  
                
  In your lined book, write at least three of your own sentences using onomatopoeia.
  For example:
                  The bubble went pop!
                  The owl hooted in the tree.
                  The race car driver revved his engine.

Choose EITHER your alliteration or onomatopoeia writing piece that you are most proud of.
Please ask a parent to take a photo and send it through the Sentral Parent Portal by Thursday afternoon.
Feedback will be provided during Friday’s Webex Essential session.

Success Criteria:

• I understand the meaning of alliteration
• I have used the first letter of an animal to create an alliteration poem
  or
• I understand the meaning of onomatopoeia
• I have used onomatopoeia in my writing to describe three different sounds

Handwriting

Learning Intention:

We are forming the letters b and t

Task:

• 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 also create your own sentences using words with b and t.
  
  Click on the links below to watch how to correctly form the letters b and t. 
  Log on to ClickView then click on the links below.

Left hand- Bb         Left hand- Tt               Right hand- Bb                 Right hand- Tt  

Did you notice something about the lower-case t? It doesn't start on a dotted line - tricky!

Vocabulary

Task:

• Fact families are groups of three numbers that are related to each other and can create four different number sentences or equations.
  Look at the example below.
                                 
  
  Some fact families can create two addition number equations and two subtraction number equations.
      
  In your scrapbook, divide your page into four.
  In each square, draw a rocket like the example above.
  For the first two rockets use the following numbers to create fact families.
  
  
  • 7, 11, 18
    
    
  • 6, 9, 15

Choose different numbers than the examples above to complete the other two rockets.

Please bring your rockets for feedback during Thursday’s Webex Essential session.
