Wednesday 21st July: Online Learning

Good Morning and welcome to our first day of online learning!

We hope that you are your families are staying safe and healthy during this time. Please see below for some suggested learning tasks for today. Please take your time completing these and we only ask that you do your best with the resources you have available at home.

Literacy

Reading

Please spend 5-10 minutes reading one of your levelled reader books if you have them with you. Otherwise enjoy the following audiobook below:

 

Writer’s Workshop

In Writer’s workshop this term, we are discussing ways to be an effective reader through modelled reading to an audience. If it is possible, we ask that you spend some time with your child and discuss what effective reading looks/sounds like. This may be things such as; where the book is held, clarity and volume of your voice, eye contact, etc.

Show them the video below, and ask them to notice and name the things the reader has done that made the story more engaging.

Once you have had a discussion about effective reading, student using their clear folder (sent home with them yesterday), they can continue working on a book of their choice, or start a new one. Remind students that authors use words and pictures in their writing. We always stretch our sounds out and have our best go!

Numeracy

In maths this term, we have started learning about time. We have discussed all of the things that we already know about time and students shared things like

  • Time helps you know when to do things
  • Your alarm helps you wake up for school in the morning
  • The clock has numbers from 1-12
  • The hands on the clock move slowly
  • There is day time and night time
  • When a day passes it has been 24 hours
  • There are 7 days in a week
  • There are about 30 days in a month
  • You have your birthday in one month
  • There are 4 seasons – this is the one we are going to focus on today!

Enjoy this song we sung together yesterday – but just remember that in Australia, we call ‘fall’ AUTUMN

Task instructions:

In your learning journal that you took home yesterday (black cover, spiral bound), create a detailed drawing of what you know about the seasons.

If you don’t have your learning journal at home, this can be done on any piece of paper you have.

Divide your page into four sections just like in the video – one section for each season.

In each section, use drawings and words to describe what that season looks like, sounds like and feels like. Don’t forget to add lots of details like the strong mathematicians and scientists you are, filling the page with colour and annotations. Add the name of each season too!

Your title for this page is:

                   Seasons                          21.7.21

Don’t forget that you are welcome to share any learning that you get up to at home via reply on the blog!

  1. Wonderful learning exploration – I know that Summer is my favourite season of the year as it is warm and there is perfect weather for going to the beach and being outside.
