Learning content:  We use different comprehension strategies to improve our understanding of texts we read

What symbols/images remind you of what Christians believe in?

Do you know the names of any other different religions that people believe in?  Can you think of any symbols that remind you of those religions?

Are there any problems here in Australia for people who are Christians and want to go to church?  Do people have to be afraid to go to church in Australia?

You will now read the book Emanuel and the Hanukkah Rescue.  

Learning content:  Learn the meaning of new words, which improves our understanding of texts and so that we can eventually use these words in our own writing.

Timid means shy

Familiar means something that you recognise and have seen before

Intention means something you plan to do

Pleaded a word similar to pleaded is begged or kept on asking

Now complete the worksheet to show that you know when to use these words.

Learning content:  uses effective and accurate sentence structure

The wind was blowing so hard that Emanuel had to grab onto a rope in order to stay aboard.

Highlight the different parts of speech in this sentence, and notice anything that makes this a really good sentence.  Then think about how you write a sentence using a similar pattern to use in your writing.

Learning content:  uses effective and accurate sentence structure and grammatical features

We have lots of different kinds of sentences.  

Simple sentence - one simple idea in a sentence.

Compound sentence - when we join together two simple sentences with two simple ideas.  We usually join the two ideas with the word 'and', 'but', 'for', 'so', 'nor' or 'or' (these small words are called conjunctions.)

Brainstorm two simple sentences about a cat.  Then join them together with one the words above.

Cut out the two envelopes below and glue them into your grammar books.  Then cut out all the sentences, and decide which envelope they belong in. You could instead complete the activity in Seesaw by sliding the sentences to the correct envelope.

Learning objective: to explore forming letters in such as way as to prepare for cursive/running writing 

Gain more practice with entry rises by completing page 38 and catching up on pages in your Handwriting Conventions book.

6. Write your favourite sentence from your book on one long strip of paper in fancy writing.  Display this under the title “Spectacular Sentences” in the room.

Daily Review

Review

What does = mean?

We call it the equals sign, but equals means 'the same as".  We need to remember this when we look at number sentences in maths.  What is on one side of the = sign must work out to be the same as what is on the other side of the = sign.  They may not look the same, but they must be worth the same. 

12 is the same as 8 + 4

7+5 is the same as 8+4.  So we can say that  7 + 5 = 8 + 4

Or we can say that 16 - 4 is worth the same as 6 + 6 (because they are both equal to 12)

So we can say that  16 - 4 = 6 + 6  even though they don't look the same.

This is important to remember whenever we see the = symbol.

Spend some time looking carefully at this worksheet.  You may feel confident enough to work on it by yourself, you may want to work on it with the teacher for the whole time, or you may want to complete the first few questions with the teacher and then work by yourself when you are sure that you understand what you need to do.

Make up some similar number sentences of your own and get a friend to check them. 

Capture the flag: 

- Split students into 2 teams. Each team should hide a flag at the end of their half of the field (eg in the box made by the 4 cones).

- Students must try and take the flag and return it to their half of the field without being caught in the opponents' half.

- If a student is tagged, they get taken to gaol (a line at the end of the field). Students can only be freed by a member of their team.

EQUIPMENT - Flag, (eg soccer ball) cones (4 per team) to make a 3m square to surround the flag.
