What do you think needs to be done to help these drivers make better choices?
What would you do, if you could, in this situation?
How might this be like the decision God had to make with Israel's dangerous behaviour?
God uses discipline to teach us. When Israel chose to do things their own way, they took themselves away from God's care.
If we go our own way and don't learn from our mistakes, we really invite problems.
If you saw a Danger sign on the road and ignored it, and then crashed and wrecked your car, how would you feel?
Think about this sign. What does it mean? It means that you completely change direction and go a different direction.
Now think about the Israelites. After they disobeyed God and despaired, they repented (they felt bad about disobeying God). Repenting is a bit like doing a U-turn - turning around and going a different direction.
When the Israelites repented, they decided to make God's Way their way as in the song from last lesson.
What do you think God might want us to do a U-turn from?
When we choose to do a U-turn, what are we really saying to God?
Listen to the music and sing this song again!

Number Sense activities.
Brainstorm as many of Australia's close neighbours as you can.
Now have a look at this map of Australia's Neighbours. See how many countries you can name.
You are going to choose one of these countries to research.
You will need to discuss which topics you are interested in learning about - what 3 big questions you want answers to. You will be given extra time to research during your Reading lessons, and you will be completing an information report in Writing about your chosen country.
Your teachers will demonstrate what will be involved in your Project-Based Learning about Australia's states.
Brief
Your job is to plan a family holiday in Australia this year. The family consists of 2 adults and 2 children (1 child aged 10, and 1 child aged 6). Make sure you include things that will interest everybody. Your job is to make all the plans for the trip.
The family will need to fly from Sydney airport to an airport in the state you have chosen, and then hire a vehicle to travel around in.
You will visit one state or territory.
The trip will last for 5-6 days.
You will need to plan the itinerary (what they do each day).
You will need to visit different significant sites and at least one national park. You will need to use a map (and googlemaps) to work out what places you can visit within a reasonable travelling distance.
Include at least one site of Indigenous importance
You can add other places if you wish.
There are a number of additional tasks that you can complete in order to gain bonus mission points.
You will each need to prepare a presentation about one of the places you are going to visit and explain why you chose it, and what made it an appropriate choice for the family to visit.
You need to select your three preferences for a state you would like to research (you cannot choose your own state of New South Wales), and also select whether you wish to complete this task individually, in pairs or as a group.
Small group research to complete PBL brief as outlined in Week 4, using your PBL workbooks. Your teachers will be monitoring and answering questions.
Have a look at Worldbook, Britannica Online, the websites from Week Three, those below, and others that you find through Kid Rex to help gather information for your research. The videos and websites below are just a few to get you started.
Ball drills such as kicking to each other and hand passes will be conducted prior to playing a game.
The teacher will sit down with their group and go through the rules of the game and how to play. Once all students are clear on how to play/the expectations you will have a game with the teacher refereeing.
