MATHEMATICS Multiplication - Groups Count to 30 song https://youtu.be/8bnO1loV7uc For this week’s mathematics activities you will need 30 counters. You can use pieces of lego, dry pasta, paper clips, toothpicks, dry cereal, sultanas, pencils or whatever you can find at home. A group is a collection of 3 or more objects. Using your counters, can you make a group of 5 or 8 or 12 (Parents pick a number between 1 and 30 and the child has to make a group of that many objects. Then have the child count the objects to check if they are correct. Repeat several times). We can sort groups of objects in different ways, not just by number. Watch the following video to see how https://youtu.be/Zg5AAxgf9qg

Now complete the Sorting Objects into Groups worksheet. Mathletics - Log onto your Mathletics account and you will find activities have been set for you to complete by the end of the week.

LUNCH TIME

Science Describe what different objects feel like. Without your child seeing, place about 8 objects from around your house into a pillow case. Select items made from various materials e.g. wood, plastic, glass, paper, fabric. Have your child put their hands inside the pillow case and touch one item without looking at it. They need to describe what it feels like before guessing what it is. Encourage words like smooth, spiky, rough, hard, soft, bendy, long, thin, round, cold. Discuss if objects made from the same material feel similar eg wood is always hard. Choose one of the items and draw a picture of it on paper. Write as many words as you can around your picture to describe it.

Equal groups are groups that have the same number of equivalent items. Using a piece of paper draw two large circles. Ask your child to place 5 counters into each circle. Explain that these groups are now equal as they both contain 5 counters. Now ask your child to make 2 equal groups of 8 counters. Repeat several times until they can correctly complete the task. Next, have them close their eyes and the parent puts 5 counters in one circle and 4 in the other. Ask the child are they equal? Repeat several times alternating between equal and not equal examples. Encourage the child to make a statement such as ‘the 2 groups of 5 are equal’ or ‘the groups are not equal’.

This week, your challenge is to create your own special reading nook. A reading nook is a small space in your house where you can read comfortably, this may be in your bedroom, the lounge room or wherever you prefer. To set up your reading nook you can use cushions, toys, blocks or whatever you can find at home. Make sure it is comfortable and a relaxing space for you to enjoy reading! Then take a photo of yourself reading your favourite book in the nook and email it through to your teacher. We are looking forward to seeing your fun, creative space!

Skipping Program

Warm Up - Video and stretches. Activity 1: Selecting the correct skipping rope.

1. Grab the handles with 2 hands 2. Stand with both feet in the middle of the rope 3. Hold the handles up to your shoulders 4. It should sit just below your shoulders for the correct size rope. 5. If it is too long, tie a knot close to the handles to make it shorter. 6. If it’s too short, it will make it hard to skip properly.

Activity 2: How to skip correctly

1. Keep your head upright looking forwards. 2. Shoulders should be straight and level without leaning forward. 3. Elbows next to the body, arms held at 90 degree angle slightly forward and sideways. 4. Wrists move in a circular motion. 5. Knees are close together and slightly bent.

Skipping Basics: Before you do the skill, practice without jumping over a rope. This will ensure students know what to do before adding in a rope. You can move to jumping over a line or lay your rope on the ground to jump over too. 2 footed jump double bounce:

1. Start with the rope behind your heels and turn the rope over your head. 2. When the rope is around knee high be ready to jump 3. As the rope hits the ground, jump over the rope. Don’t jump too high. You just need to get over the rope. 4. As the rope moves back over your head, add another jump. 5. When it reaches for feet again, jump and continue the process.

2 footed single bounce: Same process as above but move the rope quicker and 1 jump between each rotation. Skip and Walk: As you walk along, practice skipping whilst walking. As you get better, you start to run and skip. Common Problems with Skipping for Beginners -

Difficulty maintain rhythm with jumps

● Jump to a beat or clap ● Jump like a kangaroo

Turn the rope and jumping at the same time

● Practice turn rope forwards and backwards ● Remind students rope must touch ground before jump

Jumping on the spot ● Keeping heading up and shoulders back ● Look at something as you jump ● Practice without rope ● Jumping too high

Attempting to jump at incorrect times

● Let students know when to jump. ● Wait until the rope touches the ground.
