At Home Learning Plan:

Term 2 Week 1 and 2 You will not need access to a digital device to complete the following activities. You will

need help from a parent/carer and possibly resources from your teacher. All activities are

to be completed in the exercise book provided.

Some families are finding that there is too much work for students to get through, while

others are looking for additional learning activities for their children. Both of these

situations are addressed below.

If there is too much work for your needs, just complete whatever activities you can. The

activities on the timetable are a guide to help assist with learning from home. The English

and Maths activities are the most important. However, it is OK if they don't all get

completed everyday. The added optional technology activities were included to give the

students some added variety in their learning. If you don't have access to the internet to do

this, that is OK they are optional only.

If you would like some additional materials for home learning, please see the Department

of Education's website dedicated to supporting parents and carers with learning from

home. https://education.nsw.gov.au/teaching-and-learning/curriculum/learning-from-

home/advice-to-parents-and-carers

Parents, this is a guide only. Remember to break the day up with breaks to allow your

child to get outside and get active. Children need at least 60 minutes of physical activity

daily. Get them to use their imaginations to play and build and get crafty. Get your student

to complete as much of the work as they can and remember to “try your best but do not

stress”.

Test: ● Flip a coin 20 times. Keep a tally of how many times the coin lands as

‘heads’ or ‘tails’. ● Using the data you have collected, create a graph in your workbook.

Discuss (talk to your parent/carer): ● Did you get more ‘heads’ or ‘tails’? ● Was your prediction correct? ● Do you think your results would be the same if you tried again? Why?
