Worship - Combined with Mrs Parker

Bible

Stop video half way through. Ask students:

How did you feel about missing the end?

Read the account of Jesus and the children in Mark 10:13-16

Ask: How is this the same as what happened with the video? How is it different?

Reinforce how children were among the crowds that were drawn to Jesus like magnets.

Watch Jesus and the Children video then read the story Micah Meets Jesus.

Reading

Learning content:

read different types of texts using what you have learnt about letters and sounds, and by making sure that the words you read make sense by checking the meaning of the story

recognise and compare different kinds of texts, understanding why they were written and what they are about

be able to explain why you enjoy reading different types of text

Participate in reading group activities - including the syllable sorting activity below.

Photograph and then read this poem aloud onto Seesaw. Glue it into your poetry book.

Activity One

Have a look at these words from the book Snowflake Bentley. See if you can work out how many syllables each word is made up of. (Remember you can find out the syllables by clapping the words and seeing how many parts they are divided into). Then put the words onto the chart in the correct columns on Seesaw.

Spelling

Spelling Diagnostic Test

Writing

Make a snowflake and copy your poem onto black paper, using white pens. If you can't fit all 5 lines on your snowflake then write 3!

You could create a black cardboard snowflake and write the poem onto that - the first video shows you how to fold and cut snowflakes. There is also a step by step guide to making snowflakes beneath the videos.

Play Vivaldi’s “Four Seasons” music while creating good copies!

Vivaldi was an Italian music composer. In his Winter concerto, Vivaldi used his imagination and his knowledge of playing techniques to create musical imagery of the cold.

How to Make 6-Pointed Paper SnowflakesHow to Make 6-Pointed Paper Snowflakes: This step by step guide will teach you how to make SIX pointed paper snowflakes. Most people make (and most how-tos teach) snowflakes with four or eight points. Real snowflakes in nature form with six points (or occasionally three if they formed w...

Daily Review

Activity 1

Counting challenge:

Give yourself 20 seconds to:

count up by 10s from 63
count up by 10s from 178
count down by 10s from 92
count down by 10s from 347

Counting by 10s is very useful when we add and subtract. We use it when we use the Jump Strategy. But today we are going to revise another strategy where counting by 10s makes it really easy to add or subtract numbers.

If you need to add on 9 to a number, it is a lot easier to add on 10 and then take away the extra 1. Click through the slides below:

Activity 2

Use this sheet as a quick revision of the Compensation strategy, then have a go at the worksheet.

Activity 3

See if you can use the same strategy to complete these subtraction sentences.

26 - 9 = 35 - 9 = 145 - 9 =

Activity 4

All working for this activity should be written in your scrapbook or on paper.

Yesterday we revised how you can add on 10 and then subtract 1 as a shortcut for adding 9, and how we can do the same for any number ending in 9. For example, 39 is almost 40, so you could add 40, and then subtract 1. This strategy is called the Compensation strategy.

27 + 39 = 27 + 40 = 67 - 1 = 66 So 27 + 39 = 66

Have a go by yourself with these questions:

35 + 9 2. 34 + 19 3. 42 + 19 4. 56 + 29

5. 45 + 29 6. 53 + 39 7. 64 + 49

A similar pattern works for subtraction.

If you need to subtract 9 from a number, you can subtract 10, and then add 1 back on again (since you have taken away one too many!)

46 - 9 46 - 10 = 36 + 1 = 37 So 46 - 9 = 37

Try some for yourself.

83 - 9 2. 67 - 9 3. 54 - 9 4. 77 - 9 5. 58 - 19

Challenge:

Use the compensation strategy to find the answers to these problems. Show your working.

Charlotte was at the corner store lolly shop. She wants to buy 25 red clouds and 39 chocolate raisins. How many lollies will she buy altogether?
Ebony received $72 dollars for Christmas from her mum and $79 from her Aunty. How much money would she have all together?
86 Cows were in the field, however the farmer sold 39. How many cows are left?

Could you use the compensation strategy for adding any other numbers? Explain.

Activity 1

Spend some time working out what the secret number is for each of these 4 challenges.
