The structure of this activity will encourage you to use multiplication rather than addition. If you are confident in your multiplication this will be a great practise activity you can work on independently - to keep your knowledge up!

Look at the image of the hydroslides carefully before reading and answering the questions. Some of you will need some teacher guidance, but make sure you give it a try first!

To read for understanding

How can I make sure I am successful?

Read each line of the poem carefully. Read each worksheet question carefully, and take time to provide my best answer.

Activity description/steps:

Your first step is to record a video of yourself reading the poem with confidence and expression and upload it to class dojo.

Reading this poem, you are going to be concentrating on making sense of poetic language. There are two worksheets we would like you to complete once you have read the poem.

The first questions are asking you to RECALL information. Use the poem to look for the answers.

The second activity will ask you to explore and assess the vocabulary in the poem. Ask your teacher to help you if you aren’t sure what personification or other language features are.

Lastly you will be asked to make inferences from the poem. What is being said by the author, without explicitly being said?

Also the activity asks you to make predictions.. what will the eagle do next and why?

What am I learning?

To analyse a narrative I already know, and plan my own story

How can I make sure I am successful?

*Think carefully about a narrative/story I know

*Correctly identify characters/ setting/problem and solution

*I will write a plan for my own story using the template to help me

Activity description/steps:

Over the holidays my children and I watched a lot of movies - some of them were really cool! Movies are narratives that have been brought to life through animation and film- but first they start as STORIES. This week we are learning to plan and write our OWN made up story.

As you know, good stories start with a good plan. This activity has two parts.

Part 1.

Identify the characters, setting, problem, and solution (outcome) from a movie you recently watched or a story you read. Fill these in on the table provided, or create one yourself and send it to us. Add as many details as you can remember.

Part 2.

Consider your own story. What would you write about? We want you to start planning your own narrative. Use the table to come up with

-Key characters (major and minor)

-Settings where the story happens

-A problem that affects the characters/story

-A solution/Outcome

Spend time really thinking about your characters and the events that shape the story you will write. This plan will be important throughout the rest of this week.
