Reading Focus: Identifying our school values in our reading

Daily practice - 5 mins

WATCH: Eliza as she discusses the blends, br and cl

https://youtu.be/GSS4BjFFbXI

This week in our Literacy work, we would like to continue to focus on our school

values during PBS month (PBS stands for Positive Behaviour Support). Today we

have chosen a text that we think demonstrates compassion.

INTRO: Watch Eliza read today’s text, Kindness by Helen

Mortimer and Cristina Trapanese

https://youtu.be/jWW81UkH4X4

TASK: Write down or tell someone else how compassion was shown in today’s book. Do you think the author had a

message/lesson in the text?

You should complete independent reading of a ‘just right’ text for a minimum of 15 minutes.

Don’t forget to work on your reading goal! You may like to use Active Learn (details of this were

sent by classroom teachers).

Writing Focus: Values diary of your cardboard cylinder character

Daily handwriting practice - 5 mins: Practise writing the numbers 0 to 10. Make sure you do this five times each…

that will be 55 numbers altogether!

WATCH: Mitch introducing his values character

https://youtu.be/l3LnkLsBvp4

TASK: Today you will create a values creature of your own,

using a cardboard cylinder. (You may find this in an old toilet

roll!) You can use anything at all to decorate your creature

including textas, paper and wool, to give it its own

3

personality.

Think of a name, what type of personality it has e.g. (is it happy-go-

lucky, is it a nature-lover?), and what it likes to do e.g. (go hiking, sing

karaoke? etc.)

You must take care of your cylinder creatures as you will be using

these as prompts for your writing this week.

Take a photo of your character and upload it to Seesaw.

Maths Focus: Number facts/addition

WARM UP (5 to 10 mins): Play Math Monster Addition TASK: Below we have an alphabet code… vowels are worth 5 points and consonants are worth 2 points.

Remember: vowels are a, e, i, o, u and consonants are all the other letters.

BQT Why do we have both natural and artificial products?

Sometimes we add artificial colours to food to make it look more appealing! But did you know the colours that they add to lollies aren’t actually natural? We can’t grow the colours using plants, so they are made in a factory and added to the lolly recipe. Your experiment today is to follow this procedure using Smarties, M&Ms or Skittles. We want you to write in your book the answer to this question BEFORE doing the experiment: What do you think will happen when you add water to Smarties, M&Ms or Skittles? Why? You will need:

● Smarties, M&Ms or Skittles. ● Water ● White plate

What to do:

1. Place your Smarties, M&Ms or Skittles in a circle around the plate. They should form the border around the outside of the shape.

2. Pour a small amount of water into the middle of the plate - just enough to almost cover the Smarties, M&Ms or Skittles.

3. Watch as the colours from the Smarties, M&Ms or Skittles stretch and spread into the water. Good scientists observe what’s around them and are really patient!

Now that you have finished the experiment, write what you noticed. Why do you think this happened? SO WHAT? How is this linked to our Big Question?

lockdown.

Maths Focus: Number facts/addition

Warm-Up (5 - 10 minutes): Play Addition Blocks

Some monster friends were going to the movies to see their favourite film, Monsters, Inc.

They sat in three rows at the movies and there was the same number of monsters in each row.

How many monsters were in each row and how many monsters were at the movies altogether?

Watch Eliza demonstrating one way to solve the problem: https://youtu.be/S8h26SKwOJ4

TASK: Consider how you might solve this problem. For example, you might like to draw a

picture or write a number sentence. Upload your working out to Seesaw for your teacher

to see.

BQT

Have you ever cut an apple and put it in your lunchbox in the morning to find it has gone brown by recess? Well, that happens because of something called ‘oxidation’. Oxidation is when oxygen (the air we breathe) touches the apple slices. A chemical reaction

11

Why do we have both natural and artificial products?

happens that makes the protein inside the apple slices turn brown! To stop this from happening, some people wrap their apple slices in glad wrap. We want you to see whether we can use any natural products to stop apple slices from turning brown. In 4 sandwich bags or 4 bowls, you will need to place 2 apple slices in each. Write/label one of these words on each bag/bowl: air, milk, vinegar and lemon juice. In the bag//bowl labelled ‘air’ place 2 apple slices. In the bag/bowl labelled ‘milk’ place 2 apple slices that have been dipped in milk. In the bag/bowl labelled ‘vinegar’ place 2 apple slices that have been dipped in some vinegar. In the bag/bowl labelled ‘lemon juice’ place 2 apple slices that have been dipped in some lemon juice. THEN: Write what you think will happen to each bag/bowl. Leave the apple slices overnight in the fridge. In the morning check to see which natural product (air, milk, vinegar or lemon juice) has done a better job at stopping oxidation. Write your observations in your workbook. Which bag/bowl has apples that are the least brown?

| Learn to Read

Remember: Even though a lot of past tense words end in ‘ed’, not all of them do!

READ:

Watch the story Stuck being read by the author himself, Oliver Jeffers: Oliver Jeffers - Stuck - Reading

TASK: Write down or tell someone else which of our school values were shown in today’s book. Do you think the

author had a message/lesson in the text?

You should complete independent reading of a ‘just right’ text for a minimum of 15 minutes.

Spelling Focus: Prefixes and suffixes

INTRO: The part of the word that cannot be broken down is called a base word. The base word gives the word its

basic meaning. Sometimes, base words have a prefix, which is a letter or letters added to the beginning of a word,

or a suffix, which is a letter or letters added to the end.

Watch Amy explain one example of a prefix here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X_qQqZO5_MY

You might like to also take a look at these videos for some extra information:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JejCnGu4pFk and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RPqxNqO8u-A

Some examples of prefixes are on the left.

Some examples of some suffixes are on the right.

TASK: We want you to go on an investigation by looking through your ‘just right’ books.

We want you to see if you can find any other examples of the following prefixes in your books. Make sure you try to

write the base word too!

An example has been done already for you below:

13

re-

un-

dis-

Can you think of other prefixes?

reuse (use is the base word)

undo (do is the base word)

disappoint (appoint)

Can you find any other examples of the following suffixes in your ‘just right’ books? Make sure you try to write the

base word too!

-less

-ful

-ness

Can you think of other suffixes?

toothless

wonderf

happine

14

(tooth)

ul (wonder)

ss (happy)

Maths Focus: Friday maths games!

Warm-up (5 - 10 minutes): Spend some time practising your maths goal. If you have forgotten, make sure you ask your teacher to remind you on Seesaw.

INTRO: Because today is Friday, we thought we would end the week with some maths games for you to play.

TASK: You might like to choose one from below, or you might like to try them all!

Date Game

Using only the numbers in today’s date and using any operation, players are to try and create number sentences that

equal all of the numbers from 1 - 20.

You can only use the numbers given in the date, but they can be arranged in any order.

E.g. Let’s pretend the date was 27.03.2020

1 = 3-2

2 = 2 + 0

3 = 7 – 2 - 2

4 = 2 x 2

Slot It In

Draw a box with 10 places.

Players take it in turns to roll a die to create a 2-digit number and place it in one of the boxes. Each time you have to

place the number in a box, based on its value and the placement of other numbers. Imagine that one end is zero and

the other end is 100.

15

E.g.

34

34 X 57

You can only place numbers between 34 and 57 now, in the box marked X.

If you can’t place your number in one of the boxes based on the order, you miss a turn.

The player who is able to ‘slot in’ the very last number, to complete the whole row of numbers, becomes the winner.

Memory

Create two sets of cards with numbers 0-10 on them (alternatively you may use playing cards).

Place cards facing down. Players take it in turns to flip over 2 cards at a time looking for Friends of 10 Facts.

E.g. flipping a 6 and a 4.

If you get a match, you keep the cards and flip again.

STEM

MAIL A HUG (theleangreenbean.com)

During this STEM challenge, the focus will be on the learning asset of communication.

Children will need to work with another person to have their outline drawn and to ask for

assistance where necessary. They will also need to think carefully about the message they

want to communicate to a loved one.

SUPPLIES:

Paper, sticky tape, pencils/textas/crayons/paint, envelope, postage stamp.

16

What to do:

Join some pieces of paper together so that they are wider than your arm width. Make sure

that it is big enough to cover the space from your armpits to just above your head.

Next: Find a space where you can lay the paper down and then lie on top of it, like in these

photos.

After that: Ask someone to trace carefully around your outline.

Then: Fill in the details like your face, hair and clothes and then colour or paint your work.

Finally: If you are able to, cut carefully around your outline (you may want to ask a grown up

to help you do this).

For a challenge: Measure your arm width. You could use objects from around your house

such as teaspoons or milk bottle tops, or use a ruler or tape-measure.

Communicate: Think about who you would like to send your ‘hug’ to and write a message

for them on the back. Ask one of your grownups for

help to address an envelope to the person you

chose, and then go for a family walk to the post box

to post your letter.

Reflection: Tonight at dinner, talk about how you think the person you sent your hug to will feel when

they get it.
