This is the Pat on The ack Trophy. This is something that I will give out to a child I see doing wonderful work or showing fantastic effort. When we return to the school grounds I will give it out each day and you get t otake it home to show your family (then return it to shool the following day so it can be given out again ).

WELL DONE TO THOSE CHILDREN WHO HAVE ALREADY WON THIS TROPHY!!!!

Write me a song!!! Make up words for these singing men that live in my house. Your song can be as serious or as funny as you'd like. I can't wait to see what you come up with!

Research (using your computer or any books you may have already at home,) and find 5 interesting facts about an octopus.

Number and record each fact.

Draw a diagram of an octopus - label the parts of the octopus.

Read this poem through to yourself.

As you read it - visualize each line (try to cement it into your brain)

Read the poem out loud a few times.

Try and recall the poem without the words in front of you!

We are learning how to: make meaningful connections and demonstrate understanding by comparing and contrasting two things.

The large circles are where you write your differences (in one circle you write about what is different in the country and in the other circle you write about what is different in the city)...In the middle of the two circles is where you write the similarities (the things that are the same in both the country and the city)

Create a brand new flavour ice block. Think about taste combinations (not everything goes well together.)

Fruits and vegetables usually go really well together! If you have the ingredients at home - try blending them up (ask a parent if it is ok first - then ask them to help you with the blending/peeling/grating etc ) and freezing them. If you don't have an ice block mould - consider what you could use instead.

Taste your creation - was it nice? Would you make it again?

Think of a new trick for each Twit to play on the other. Remember we won't be acting these out.

Write your tricky ideas down on paper. You should end up with one trick that Mr. Twit can play on Mrs. Twit - and one trick that Mrs. Twit can play on Mr. Twit!

Use your imagination and create some really funny tricks!

What do you deserve a trophy for?

It could be for kindness, sporting efforts, lock down work you have completed or for just about anything else you can think of (so long as it is positive!)

Reward yourself!!!!!!

Sketch the trophy: add your name to the trophy and the awesome reason you are awarding it to yourself!!!

*Talk to a parent about this first - & plan the call together

Receiving a phone call can be a really encouraging and uplifting thing for the person who is receiving it.

Give a grandparent/uncle/aunt a phone call and check in on them.

Make sure you ask how they are and tell them something you have been doing to be helpful around your house.

Your call might just be the best part of that person's day!!!!!

Design a new school uniform for Sandspit road school. Be as creative as you want to be with patterns, colours and logos. Design the top, pants, skort & hat. Send me a picture if you want to! Right now our school logo is a sailing ship...you might like to redesign this to something else? Have fun!

See which level you are on for clapping out syllables. Down the side is the number of syllables in each word. Break the word up into syllables by clapping along while you sday each part of the word. Breaking words into syllables helps us with spelling and understanding how words are formed (root words, prefixes, suffixes etc). Have a go and see which level you are at!

Think of a business for gala day. This is just a business plan not 'for real'.

Your business could be anything from selling a product (like home made soap) through to an activity (like face painting or pop the balloon to win a prize).

1. You will need to decide on a name for your stall/business

2. You will need to make a list of all the things you will need to make your product - or if you are doing an activity you will need to make a list of the things you need for the activity.

3. You will need to do a costing...you will need to 'buy' certain things (ingredients, prizes etc) to make or organise your stall. List the things you need and how much you think yu will need to spend on each item (for example - if I was face painting I would need to buy quite a lot of face paint, sponges, tissues etc

Face paint - $50

Sponges - $10

Tissues - $10

4. You will need to decide on how big your FLOAT (the money in your cash register you start the day off with - remember this needs to be taken off your earnings at the end of the day to work out your profit...in class we decided on $50 but you can decide how much you need)

5. Design a sign for your stall - including how much you will charge for your goods or activity

6. Based on the amount you spent purchasing the things you need to make your product and subtracting the float - work out how much you will need to sell of your item or activity to break even (back to $0) before your stall begins to make any money

7. Decide if your business is financially worth doing...could yu make some changes to make the business more profitable (make more money?) Now that you see your plan - would you run this business for a gala day? Why or why not?

Go on a mini-beast hunt! Lay on the grass and see if you can observe any bugs.

See if you can identify each bug you find.

Pick at least one kind of bug to research.

What does it eat? Where does it commonly live? Can you find any interesting facts about it?

Make a 1 page poster (A4 is fine) about the bug/bugs you find in your grass or garden. Include a drawing and the information you found!

Where do you like to go on holiday?

• Write about a holiday in the country, by the sea, in a caravan or in a tent!

Include the kinds of foods you ate, the sorts of activities you did as a whanau and your favourite part of the holiday.

• As an extra - collect flowers, grasses, shells, stones, twigs, leaves & bits and bobs to create a collage of "A summer holiday"

A mind jar full of water and glitter is a resource that we use with school children to provide something concrete and beautiful for their minds to focus on, in much the same way that a table gives the jar something solid to rest on.

By breathing mindfully, all of their swirling thoughts and feelings will start to settle by themselves – just like the glitter in the jar.

Making a mind jar at home is a great way to talk about the things that are worrying your child, as well as giving them a device to practise mindfulness whenever it’s needed.

Mind jars are especially great to use at bedtime, to help your child calm down and go to sleep.

Your child should choose a different colour of glitter to represent different things that worry them. As they add each colour, your child can talk to you about these worries or concerns, and talk about ways you could work through these.

Things you will need:

• Glass jar with a lid that seals tightly.

• Glitter – two or three different sizes of glitter if possible, in as many colours as you like.

• Food colouring (optional).

• Two tubes of glitter glue – Don’t skip this ingredient! If you get glitter glue with bright/dark colours this will affect the overall colour of your mind jar. We use pastel colours so we can control the water colour with food colouring. The glue is important as it thickens up the water so the glitter swirls around the jar before settling down.

• A kettle of boiling water – get an adult to help you with this.

• A stick or small whisk for stirring.

• A sheet or two of newspaper

Instructions:

1. Place the jar on the newspaper, and pour in boiling water until it is about 1⁄4 full (ask a parent or adult helper to do this as the water is very hot and the jar heats quickly!).

2. Squeeze in the two tubes of glitter glue, and use your stick or whisk to stir, stir, stir until it’s all dissolved.

3. Pour in some more boiling water until the jar is about 3⁄4 full.

4. Now add your glitter, one colour at a time. Talk about what each colour represents – for example, you might choose green to represent your worries about schoolwork, and blue for worrying about arguing with a sibling.

5. Stir!

6. Add a few drops of the food colouring if you’re using it, and stir again.

7. Fill the jar with water right up to the top, then stir once more and leave to cool down. When it’s cold, screw the lid on tightly and ta-da! You’ve made a mind jar.

Shake it up!

When the mind jar is finished, shake it up. See how all the worries have mixed together, making it hard to focus on any one COLOUR? When our minds are stormy like this, and we don’t feel present in our bodies, it can be hard to pay attention and make kind and thoughtful choices about how to respond to the things or people that have upset or worried us.

Place the jar on a table, and sit or lie quietly, noticing as the glitter in the jar settles down on its own. Practise your mindful breathing while you watch.

We are learning: Words do not end in V or J - we add a silent e at the end of the word (hav-e)

Group 1:

1. Remove

2. Curve

3. Weave

4. Evolve

5. Arrive

6. Believe

7. Behave

Group 2:

1. Grave

2. Halve

3. Have

4. Glove

5. Above

6. Dove

7. Sleeve

• Learn your words by saying them out loud and splitting the word into chunks ("gra -pause- ve")

• Try write a sentence for each word

• Go away for half an hour, then return to your spelling and see if you can remember how to spell them (remember to say them in a rhythm so it is easier to remember them)

• As an extra: make your words out of playdough or cut the letters out from a magazine or newspaper and arrange them correctly.

See how many words you can make from the letters used in the word:

MERMAID

• You can only use each letter once

• The letters can be in any order

• You can use as few letters as you need

See if you can make at least 10 (there are heaps)

Get a piece of paper and see if you can write these very large numbers correctly in number form.

For example:

sixteen thousand two hundred and eighty-one = 16,281

Remember the order of numbers:

Tens of thousands, thousands, hundreds, tens, ones/units

1. fifty-five thousand six hundred and twelve

2. Thirty-nine thousand four hundred and seventeen

3. seventy thousand one hundred and seven

4. Eleven thousand two hundred and nine

5. Sixty-six thousand nine hundred and eighty-four

6. Eighty-five thousand three hundred and fifty-five

7. Twenty-nine thousand nine hundred and twenty

*If you're an expert - ask your parents to give you numbers in the hundreds of thousands to try and record

Create your own Monster Island

Draw your island. Draw your monsters. Answer these questions:

Decide on:

1. The types of monsters that live on your island (what do they look like, sound like, move like?)

2. What is the landsscape like? Is it rocky, woodlands, swampy etc

3. What do your monsters eat?

4. What are the dangers there (could include dangers to your monsters or other dangers like quick sand etc)

5. What do your monsters do for fun?

6. Are your monsters civilised? Do they go to school? Or are your monsters brutes and unruly characters?

This is a great tool to practice reading and maths & it has follow up activities and games to go with the reading and maths

A summary is a short and sweet retelling of a text. It only includes the most important details. Use the writing strategy of "Somebody Wanted But So Then" to help you write a short fiction summary!

Part 1

Directions: Read the passage and write a short summary.

Elias was assigned a big project in his social studies class. He wanted to do well on the project, but he knew it was a lot of work. He thought it would be boring, too. Elias had two weeks until the due date. Elias could have gone home and started the project. Instead, he put it off. He went skateboarding with his friends at the park, and he played video games with his brother. When his mom suggested he clean his room, Elias happily cleaned. He chose to do anything other than the project.

Elias suddenly panicked as he remembered the due date. The project was due tomorrow! He hadn't even started. He was too afraid to tell his mom. She would not be happy about this. Immediately, Elias began scrambling to figure out how he could get the project done on time.

At school the next day, Elias turned in his finished product. Elias was not proud of the work he had completed. He believed it would have been much better if he spent more time on it. Elias wished that he had been more responsible.

Somebody

But

So

Part 2

Directions: Write a 3-sentence summary on the lines below. Use the information from the Part 1 chart. _____________________________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________________________

Use items from your recycling to create your own instrument!

You could use anything you like to make it.

Some suggestions are: rice (inside a kitchen roll) rainmaker, bottle guitar using rubber bands, bottles to make drums, paint/tin cans to make drums...

Make it beautiful and share a picture with me!

Use your home clock to practice telling the time.

Remember to use your five times tables to give you the answer for the big hand (up to 6)... For the second half of the clock, use your five times tables to give you a number (5 x 9 = 45) and then see how many more minutes you need to get to the hour/60minutes (5x9=45 do it will be 15 more minutes to get from 45 to 60)

Look up at the clock throughout the day and practice this.

Good luck!

• For experts, try learning 24 hour time. After we reach 12:00pm, there is another 12 hours to go before the next day begins. We count on 13 (for 1), 14 (for 2), 15 (for 3) and so on until we reach 24 hours.

Homophones sound the same, but have different meanings.

Their - Possessive, belonging to them

There - An adverb, a location

They‛re - A contraction of they and are

Write THEIR, THERE or THEY‛RE in the spaces below.

1. “ ___________ up first,” I told the team. Everyone ran out to ____________ places on the field. I walked to the mound. It was my first time pitching.

2. The air was perfectly still. ___________ wasn‛t the slightest breeze. I wound up, then gave the pitch all I had. “Ball!” the umpire called.

3. ___________ were still three more balls to go. I took a deep breath, and

concentrated.

4. From the stands I heard chanting, “___________ gonna lose! We‛re gonna win! ___________ gonna lose! We‛re gonna win!”

5. I tuned out the chanting, and thought only of the baseball in my hand, and the pitcher‛s glove. This one would be a strike, I thought to myself. ___________ wasn‛t going to be another ball.

6. I looked at the opposite team leaning against the chain link fence. ___________ faces were tense with determination. I threw. “Ball!” called the umpire.

7. For a moment I closed my eyes. Then I wound up for my third pitch. I threw hard and fast. With a loud crack, the bat hit the ball, which flew toward me.

____________ wasn‛t a moment to think. I lifted my glove and caught the ball.

8. “Out!” yelled the umpire. I turned to my team, and saw smiles on _____________ faces. Only two more outs to go.

When we set a scene in our writing, we add depth, interest and important detail to set up our story.

Setting the scene is an important way to start our story and helps the reader to create a picture in their mind.

When you have completed the 'Create a title' activity with your teacher, you can move on to this activity.

Use the following questions to help you to write the beginning of your story - by setting the scene.

1. Where does the scene take place?

2. What can the character see, hear, smell?

3. How does the character feel in these beginning moments of your story?

4. What do the immediate surroundings look like?

5. What time of day is it?

6. What do the characters facial expressions look like?

7. What are they physically doing at that moment?

8. What do their voices sound like?

Write as you would normally whilst answering these questions (do not number your answers - write them into your story)

Please bring along something to write with and some paper/book

A Passion Project is a research based project where you get to decide on the topic!

First you need to think of something to research! Pick something you are interested in (this could be anything from: the history of your favourite sport, a place, your favourite animal, a person you find interesting who has achieved something - or really anything that you are interested in finding out about!)

Next you need to use your computer to find out information. You could open a google doc to store information you find along the way, then come back to that information when you are done researching and select which information you want to use.

Choose how you want to display your information! You could make a poster, a little booklet, create a google slideshow or write a report.

You could insert images or draw pictures that relate to your topic.

• First you need to select a country to research. You could pick a country that your family has links to - or you could pick a country you would like to visit...it is up to you!

• Find out the following:

1. How many people live there

2. What does their flag look like?

3. What are their signature dishes (the foods they eat)

4. What do they wear?

5. What are the temperatures in both summer and winter there (this could be a range of temperatures especially if you pick a large country)

6. Do they have a national dance or song?

7. What animals are native to your country?

8. What is the terrain like there?

9. Anything else you want to include

You can use any music you like.

Start with stretching and then add in your own moves.

See if you can get someone in your house to join in with you!

You have a wide range of aerobics moves that you already know - because you have done JumpJam!

This is a great way to burn off energy (since you can't go outside)

A 'YES' day is a day where you plan activities for the whole family!

Pretend your family are going to have a yes day.

You need to decide on the activities, food and fun that the family are going to have for that day.

Rules:

1. You must plan for the whole family

2. You cannot leave the Auckland area

3. You have a budget of $500

How to make a POI

You will need . . .

*A plastic bag

*Stuffing- fluff etc.. DON'T use toilet paper, because toilet paper is too hard on your hands.

*Wool

* Cellotape

* First you get some wool about the length of your forearm (from your elbow to your middle finger tip).This will make a short poi. If you want to make a long poi, the length of the wool should be from your shoulder to the tip of your middle finger. You will need six strands of wool.

* Next you tie a knot at one end and then you do a 3 plait starting from the knot. Make sure when you finish plaiting you knot the other end leaving enough strands of wool to tie around the ball of stuffing.

*Grab a bunch of stuffing and scrunch it up into a ball about the size of a fist. Put the leftover strands around the ball of stuffing and tie the strands to hold the ball in place.

*Then put the plastic bag over the stuffing and gather it at the last knot you made and tie with wool or string to hold it together.

*Trim the plastic beneath the tie.

*To finish off wrap cellotape around the tie.

What you need:

Flax Leaves (1 per flower)

Nylon (Nylon is my preferred option . However, I used a thin bead thread so it would show up in the photos)

Little beads or shells I used Paua shell.

Scissors

Needle

Step 1

Split the flax in half (from the sharp point down) but leave about 15 cm still joined (leave longer if you want a longer stem)

Step 2

Lie the flax flat on a table and start by crossing the left leaf under the right one. Then fold that now left one back under the right one.

Step 3

Then continue to fold the one that’s now on the left under the right one, and you are going to keep doing this same pattern until you get to the end. So, to recap always fold the one that is on the left under the one that’s on the right.

Step 4

Eventually, you will get to the end of the leaf and because of the way the folds work it ends up in the shape of a flower.

Step 5

Pull it around in a circle quite tight so that it almost looks like a rose. Then you want to get your pieces of shell or paua, needle and nylon.

Step 6

Thread through the leaf and then through your shell or bead. Thread back to the backside of the flower and then to the front again and continuing to the back again – knot it off.

Step 7

These can make a neat little gift as you can pop them in a box and post them – could be a great gift idea for the grandparents!

Create your own game of memory

You will need to make two sets of 12 (24 altogether).

Remember that you are making pairs - so you will need to make two identical cards for each pair.

You could have a theme - such as native animals to help you decide on what to draw.

Have fun and share thee with me!

You can do this inside or outside.

You can use anything you would like from around your house

Try to include:

• Jumping over something

• Crawling (could be through something)

• Hopping

• Running

• swerving around something

• Moving backwards

Make it fun and time yourself! See if you can beat your time.

** Please be careful and also remember to be respectful of property and things around your home (we don't want any reports of accidents or broken furniture!)

All tortoises are in fact turtles—that is, they belong to the order Testudines or Chelonia, reptiles having bodies encased in a bony shell—but not all turtles are tortoises.

Why is a tortoise a reptile?

Tortoises are reptiles because they have scales and dry skin, they are cold-blooded, and they are descended from dinosaurs. ... The simplest definition of a reptile is a cold-blooded vertebrate (an animal with a backbone) with dry skin that may have scales or plates.

Find me some facts about TORTOISES and share them with me.

You could make a poster, a diagram or list your facts!!!

ROSIE AND RUBY GET LOST

Rosie and Ruby are cute playful puppies that are always getting into a lot of trouble. They live in a nice house with a large backyard with their fun owner Sam.

One Saturday they drove to the pet store to get some dog food. “You guys stay here and I'll be back in a second” said Sam to Rosie and Ruby. But as soon as he was out of sight, the naughty puppies squeezed out of the open window of the car, and went to see where the delicious smell was coming from.

They sniffed around the store and hit the jackpot – a huge tub of pigs ears! They jumped up and ate as much as they could before one of the pet store owners spotted them. “Oi! Get out of there!” he said, and the puppies ran and hid. Once the drama calmed down, Rosie and Ruby came out of hiding and went to find Sam.

Rosie went up to a pair of hairy ankles and had a good sniff. “Stop that!” said the hairy-legged man. Ruby found a pair of thick ankles wearing giant high heeled shoes almost as tall as her! “They don’t look like Sam’s shoes” thought Ruby and with that ran away.

“I think we are lost” whined Ruby to Rosie. Suddenly Sam walked past, and said “Where have you two been? I have been looking all over for you! Let’s get you back home where you won’t cause any more trouble.” He scooped them up, put them in the car and drove them home.

They didn’t eat much dinner that night because they still had full bellies from their awesome adventure!

Create a mindmap of all of the best things that have happened during lockdown.

Start with a 'cloud' in the middle of your page. Inside the cloud write 'the best parts of lockdown'.

When you think of an idea, draw a line out from that cloud and rite your idea.

When you have a new idea which stems (or is generated) from a previous idea, draw a new line and add your new idea - connecting it to the other idea.

For example: I might draw a line from the cloud in the middle and add the idea 'Family exercise'. Then I might start to remember the cool ways we exercised and draw a line coming from that original idea an add 'beach walk'. Then I might add to the beach walk idea with 'collecting shells'

Have fun recording and linking all of your lockdown fun!

I bet some of you are missing takeaway foods!

Create a takeaway menu for your very own Level 2 Lockdown Takeaway Bar.

List the items you sell, along with their prices.

Next, create 'meal deals' where you add multiple items from the list you sell to create 'combos'. Give these combos prices too!

Don't forget to name your takeaway bar something cool!

Extra:

1. You could create pictures to go along with some of your meals

2. You could try making one of your combos for dinner!

Today's zoom is a PJ party! Children can come in their bed clothes. Please ask them to bring along a piece of work to share.

Use this format to create a poem.

Here in NZ we are very lucky. It is good for us to express our gratitude and say why we feel lucky.

In this poem, you get to tell me why you feel lucky.

You can include any reason you consider yourself lucky (this could be around your family, the experiences you have, your friends, your hobbies or anything you feel grateful about).

The process: The first line is always 'I am so very lucky'. The second line is where you say why you are lucky. If you want to, you can try rhyme the last word of the first two things you feel lucky about and the last two things you feel lucky about (I have made the line green where you need to rhyme). Here is my example:

I am so vry lucky,

I have good friends care for me.

I am so very lucky,

I have a kind family.

I am so very lucky,

To work with children each day.

I am so very lucky,

My guitar - I love to play.

I am so very lucky,

________________________________________

I am so very lucky,

I am so very lucky,

Try these larger numbers.

Remember:

• To find a half you need to split the number evenly into two groups

• To find a quarter, you need to split the number into half and then split that number in half to make four even groups

1. Find half of 30 =

2. Find half of 300 =

3. Find half of 3,000 =

4. Find half of 30,000 =

1. Find one quarter of 8 =

2. Find one quarter of 80 =

3. Find one quarter of 800 =

4. Find one quarter of 8,000 =

5. Find one quarter of 80,000 =

Please click on the link below called Reading. This will take you to a site where you can read a little about the history of clay. This will be considered your reading for the day.

Reading Link

Hand building clay.

This is the earliest forming method. Wares can be constructed by hand from coils of clay, combining flat slabs of clay, or pinching solid balls of clay or some combination of these.

Parts of hand-built vessels are often joined together using clay and water.

Clay vessels were very important in the old days - as you needed them to store water and other important oils.

Design an unusual 'vessel'

Try to imagine an interesting shape - remembering the vessel needs to be able to balance when standing up.

Add your own design features - how can you make yours look different to other peoples?

Sketch your vessel - add on your interesting and original design features. Colour your vessel and take a pic!

Rosie’s wild winter nightime adventure

One stormy night Rosie got scared of the noise that the lightening made so she decided to jump the fence. It was really large fence so she jumped onto the vegetable garden box and then onto the window sill which gave her enough height to be able to jump the fence.

She raced off down to the park to look for other dog friends they she sees on her daily walk but they were all tucked up at home in their cosy kennel.

Suddenly the thunder started banging, the lightening started striking which gave Rosie a big fright so she ran back to the house. Trying to jump back ove the fence she hurt her leg by catching it on the fence.

I woke up to Rosie barking outside my bedroom window. I was confused because she was on the wrong side of the house. I never hear her bark on that side of the house. It sounded like she had escaped.

I woke up Mum and said “quick Rosie has escaped”. We picked up Rosie and put her back in her kennel for the rest of the night. It wasn’t until the next day we found out that Rosies was limping.

We took Rosie to the vet and they put a bandage on her foot and said its just a bruise that can be fixed with lots of rest.

Reduce, Reuse, Recycle!!!!

Find an empty/used tea bag box (or something like that)...

Use whatever materials you have around your house to turn it into a keepsake box (somewhere you can keep precious items in).

You could use paint, wrapping paper, stick on gems, stickers, glued on magazine pictures, use photographs of yourself...the choice is endless.

When you have finished, put some special things inside and send me a picture!!!!

Part of looking after our environment is looking after our own backyard!

1. Pull some weeds from the garden & put the pile of weeds in a place your parents designate

2. see if you can spot earthworms....if you can - then you have healthy soil!

3. See if you can identify old, dead leaves on a plant and help a parent pull/cut them away to give the plant 'new life' (dead leaves steal energy from your plants)

4. See if any plants need repotting or relocating to a more suitable spot (more sun/less sun etc)

5. Identify if you have any native plants to NZ in yur garden

6. Sketch your favourite plant from the garden - sit outside by the plant and try to create the same shaped leaves, stem and flowers.
