In your scrapbook, trace around your own hand. In each finger, write the name of a person that you can ask for help.
Reading
- Each day you need to read a book to someone from your Bug Club.
Choose both fiction and non-fiction books to read.
Together, talk about the quiz questions before you answer them.
Remember you can look back at the page to help you find the answers.
When you finish reading a book to someone, spend five minutes discussing the book with them.
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.
If you have finished reading your ‘My Stuff’ books, reread the books in your library to practise your reading goal.
(15–20 minutes each day)
Learning Intention:
We are visualising as we read
Tasks:
- Visualising is when you create pictures in your mind, using clues and descriptive details from the text as you read.
Read the text below and as you are reading, visualise the scene in your mind.
Read the text again and in your scrapbook, draw what you visualise.
At the bottom of your page, record the words from the text that helped you visualise the picture.
(20 minutes)
- In Wednesday’s Webex Essential session, as we listen to a book, we will be drawing what we visualise by listening to key words. Make sure to bring coloured pencils!
Learning Intention:
We are visualising a character by using the adjectives in the text
Task:
- The text below describes a character from a story. As you read the text below, visualise the character in your mind.
Read it again and notice the adjectives.
In your scrapbook, draw the character and record the adjectives that helped you visualise.
(20 minutes)
Writing
Learning Intention:
We are learning to write a three line poem
Task:
- Three line poems are short poems about one subject or noun. There is a special way to write a three line poem.
The first line names the subject in a word or two.
The second line describes its location in a sentence.
The third line explains what the subject is doing.
Read the examples of a three line poem below.

Please ask a parent to take a photo of your three line poems and send it to your teacher through the Sentral Parent Portal by Thursday afternoon. Feedback will be provided during Friday’s Webex Essential session.
Learning Intention:
We are using our senses to describe an item
Task:
- We will be exploring our senses during Monday’s Webex Essential meeting.
Learning Intention:
We are learning how to write a five senses poem
Task:
- A five senses poem uses all of your senses to describe a subject. Look at the examples below.
Choose a subject, for example food, season, sport or place. Use these sentence starters to write your own five senses poem about your subject.
I can see…
I can hear…
I can feel…

You could also create your own sentences using words with l and y.
Vocabulary
Learning Intention:
We are investigating a word of the week
Task:
- We will be investigating the meaning of a word and the different ways we can use it when writing and speaking.
Words will be introduced and discussed during Webex sessions on Monday, Wednesday and Friday.
Draw a new word of the week template in your scrapbook for Monday’s Webex Essential session.
Maths
Learning Intention:
We are developing our automatic recall of addition and subtraction fact families
Task:
- Fluency activity (to be completed daily)
Place your deck of cards face down. Turn over the top 2 cards (remember an ace = 1, picture cards = 10).
Add them together to find the third number to create your fact family.
Record the fact family equations for these numbers in your scrapbook.
Example: I turned over a 3 and a 6. When added together, they equal 9. These three numbers make my fact family: 3, 6 and 9
3+6=9
6+3=9
9-6=3
9-3=6
(10 minutes each day)
Learning Intention:
We are learning to use the ‘Make a Ten’ strategy to solve addition problems
Task:
- 'Make a Ten' is an efficient strategy we can use when solving addition problems.
Log onto ClickView and click here to watch the video ‘Make a Ten Addition Strategy’.
Use the anchor chart above and the ‘Make a Ten’ strategy to solve the following equations:
- 7 + 8
- 7 + 6
- 3 + 9
- 6 + 5
- 4 + 8
Set each equation out like the example below:
Tip: Start with the biggest number, then break the smaller number into two parts to make ten.
Challenge: Solve the following equations using the ‘Make a Ten’ strategy without a tens frame but still show how you split the numbers to solve the equation.
- 37 + 8
- 56 + 9
-
- Success Criteria:
- I use the ‘Make a Ten’ strategy to solve addition problems
- I have shown how I solved each equation using a tens frame and splitting numbers
- I have set my work out neatly

Punting a Football: Log into ClickView, and watch How to Punt a Football video here. There are a range of challenges you can complete. Make sure to watch the whole video! Challenge: Create a punting activity, for example:
|
Balance and flexibility: For this activity, you will need enough space for your arms and legs to stretch freely without having to touch anything inside or outside your house. See if you can hold each position for 20 sec or more! Remember: Your muscles keep your body upright. Without your muscles you wouldn’t be able to stretch, bend or walk. To keep your muscles strong and flexible, it is important to exercise them every day! A great way to make this activity more fun is to use some music! Click here to download your activity. |
Knock ‘em Down: For this activity, you need a range of target objects (e.g. teddies, toilet rolls, drink bottle) and a round ball. You will also need to create a points system for hitting certain targets e.g. 1 point to knock down the toilet roll tower, 2 points to knock down the water bottle, etc.
Once you are more confident with your underarm roll, challenge yourself and have a starting point further away. You can even allocate larger or bigger points for the targets that are harder to knock down e.g. A small object might be worth more points.
If you like, send a video of yourself practising the underarm roll to either Mr M or Mrs Yue-Lamb via the Sentral Parent Portal. |
