You will then need to break into groups of three with others who have the same card type as you do. Discuss (according to your card type) either:
A time when you have observed (seen) someone being really generous. Tell about this time. What happened and what was the result?
A time when you have been a participant (the one doing the generous act). What happened and what was the result?
A time when you received an act of generosity from someone else. What happened and how did you feel?
Please note: For the act to be truly generous, it must have been an action of initiative, rather than having been asked to do it.
Review the bucket story.
Another way people talk about buckets is to have a bucket list - a list of things they really want to do during their lifetime. Watch this video of some people completing their bucket list.
Now it is your turn. Create a bucket list of blessings that you want to pour into the lives of others as they live their lives.
Please note: You may want to use the Graffiti Carousel List to help generate this. In how any ways will you be generous?
Your teacher will assign you to work in Reading Groups during this lesson.

Work stations (spend about 10 - 12 minutes at each station)
In pairs, sort through examples of completed fact families. Decide if answers are correct or incorrect. Where you think that the answers are incorrect, write the correct answers and explain the mistake.
In pairs, roll two dice and record the 4 number sentences that can be made with these. Use one dice with 2, 4, 5 & 10 as sides, and a 6 or 9-sided dice for the other. If you roll 4 and 7, you would write 4 x 7 = 28, 7 x 4 = 28, 28 ÷ 4 = 7 and 28 ÷ 7 = 4. Complete 10 rolls and record the fact families made each time in your maths books.
Challenge: Work in pairs to try and work out whether you need a +, -. x, or ÷ symbol to make each of these number sentences (Which symbol?) correct.
Your teacher will go through some of the questions on the challenge worksheet with the class.
