Personal Strengths

 

Learning Intention:

We are identifying times when we have demonstrated personal strengths as a learner

 

Task:

Look at the list of personal strengths below.

 

                     
Choose one strength that you demonstrate as a learner at school or at home.

In your scrapbook, write the strength at the top of a page.

Draw and write about a time you demonstrated this strength in your learning.
You may also wish to draw or write about a time when you have shown this strength as a friend.

(20 minutes)

 

Reading

Each day read a book to someone from Bug Club, Epic! or a take home book.

Choose both fiction and non-fiction books to read.
When you finish the book, spend five minutes discussing the book with the person you read to using your retell prompts.

(15–20 minutes each day)

 

Learning Intention:

We are investigating the features of a fiction text so that we can explain why a text is fiction

 

Tasks:

Webex Monday: Reading - features of fiction text         

 

Please complete the following task after the Webex session on Monday.

You will be investigating the features of a fiction text. Look at the picture below.

                                      

Here is an example of the features of the fiction text Little Red Riding Hood.

 

Title	Little Red Riding Hood
Characters	Little Red Riding Hood, Grandma, the wolf and the woodcutter
Setting	Forest, Grandma's house
Problem	The wolf wanted to eat Little Red Riding Hood
Solution	The woodcutter rescues them

 

 

Choose a fiction text of your choice.
In your lined book, copy the table above and record the fiction features that you find in your text.

(30 minutes)                   

               

 

Learning Intention:

We are learning to read independently so that we can build our reading stamina

 

Task:

Find a ‘just right’ book to read and practise your reading stamina (how long you can read for without getting distracted).

Look at the picture below for a reminder of what independent reading should:

• look like
  
  
• sound like and
  
  
• feel like

                         

In your lined book, write the title ‘Independent Reading’.

Write the title and author of the book (or books) you read.

Record the amount of time you read independently.

(20-30 minutes)

 

 

Writing

 

Learning Intention:

We are learning about poetry so that we can create an acrostic poem

 

Task:

The purpose of an acrostic poem is to show what you know about a topic.

An acrostic poem uses the letters in a topic word to begin each line. Look at the examples below.

                

 

Create an acrostic poem for your name.
Write your name vertically down the left side of your lined book. What words describe you?

Optional: Create an acrostic poem about your favourite animal.

(30 minutes)

 

 

Learning Intention:

We are learning about poetry so that we can write a three line poem

 

Tasks:

Webex Tuesday: Writing - three line poems

Please complete the following task after the Webex session on Tuesday.

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 three line poems below.

The tree

In your lined book, write at least four of your own three line poems. Draw a picture for each poem.

(30 minutes)

 

 

 

Maths

 

Learning Intention:

We are learning to recognise the features of an analogue clock so that we can tell the time

 

Fluency activity (to be completed daily).

Click here to play ‘Hickory, Dickory, Clock’. Select the level of your choice.               

(10 minutes each day)

 

 

Learning Intention:

We are learning about the months and seasons of the year so that we can understand changes that occur over time

 

Tasks:

Log into ClickView and watch the video Weather and Seasons.

Seasons affect the way we live. For example:

In Winter you may wear warm clothes and scarves, eat soup, or travel to the snow.

In Summer, you may wear shorts and t-shirts, visit the beach and eat ice-cream.

In your scrapbook, write 'The Four Seasons'.

Divide the rest of your page into four.

Write one season in each box.

Draw what you would wear, eat or use in each season. You may need to look through your wardrobe for ideas!

 

(20-30 minutes)

On the next page of your scrapbook, divide your page into another four boxes.

Write one season in each box.

Draw a tree to represent each season of the year and list the months of each season below the tree. See the example below.
