T3 W3 Monday

As a class discuss the game:

What did it feel like being on the outside trying to get in?

Why might some people give up in a situation like this?

What do you think makes some people give up when they feel left out and some persevere? 

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

Today's book is a true story about convicts who travelled from England to Australia over 200 years ago on sailing ships.  Convicts were people who had committed a crime and instead of being put in prison in England, England decided to send them to Australia because the prisons in England were full.

The images below  are photos Mrs Parker took in a town in Tasmania, showing the names of the convicts who came, how old they were, what ship they came on, what they did wrong and their sentence (years in prison) followed by what happened to them.  I think you might be shocked!  Make the pictures large so that you can read them.  Click the arrow in the bottom left corner to move the slides.

You will now read the book My Name Is Lizzie Flynn.

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.

Secure  something that is secure is very safe.

Escorted  if someone escorted you to the hospital it means that would lead you or take you there and keep you safe.

Deluded if you are deluded someone has made you believe something that is not true.

Retreat if someone retreats, they are moving backwards, or moving away from something.

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

Learning content:  uses effective and accurate sentence structure

I feel good until I see her stitches, neat and tiny like a baby's eyelashes.

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 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 39 and catching up on pages in your Handwriting Conventions book.

Learning intention:

I am learning to use phrases to create interesting and descriptive sentences.

Success Criteria:

Surface: I can write a simple sentence that contains a subject (noun),  a verb and is a complete idea.

Have a look at the “Sentence Variety Graphic Organiser”.  

Look at the filled in model as an example and complete your own "Things to do" and "Where you live" in the following way:

• Write 3 phrases about "things I do" and "describing where I live".

• Write 3 different sentences about "what I like to do" and "where I live" by rearranging the order of phrases.

Cricket with 4 bases

 Students use baseball type bases and a cricket bat and wicket for the game.  Swap sides after each batter has had a turn. Baseball rules but using a cricket bat instead. Great fun (bases set in a diamond. Catchers on each base. When a batter is on first base they must go to second when the batter hits the ball, and so on).

EQUIPMENT - 4 cones (bases), cricket bat, ball and stumps.
