Thursday

Reading

Learning intention: We are learning to research Australian animals.

Success criteria: I can record three interesting facts about Australian Animals

Home learning activity:

Watch the above video from Mrs W reading from ‘Australian Animal A-Z’
Today you are going to be choosing from the resources below to watch and record three interesting facts that you have learnt in your Ranger Guide. You don’t have to read and watch everything I have included below. I haven't put a label on the QR codes because I would like you to discover for yourself! You might just choose the videos or information to read that interests you or is about the animal you have been researching.

Writing

Learning intention: We are learning about the features of an Information Report.

Success Criteria: I am successful when I can use titles, subheadings, interesting facts and pictures to write an information report.

Resources:

Writer’s Notebook
Planning Booklet
Ranger Guide
Animal information and pictures

Home Learning Task:

Mild- Choose a different animal from your Ranger Guide.

Use your Writer’s Notebook or your Remote Learning Journal

Write the subheadings-

I think…
I feel…
I wonder..

Write as many things as you can that you think, feel and wonder about this animal. They can be questions, thoughts or facts that you have learnt.

Spicy- You have been making your writing in your booklet better. Now is the time to illustrate and add colour to your booklet. Make it something you are proud of. This is time to finish off your booklet- it is your very own Ranger Report about your chosen animal. If you have completed that you can look at the Mild activity to do.

Hot- Using your booklet as a guide you can plan a ‘Good Copy’ that you will publish. This can be in poster or booklet format.

It is final publishing time, put all your information in a report that has lots of interesting information and looks interesting for your reader.

Spelling

Learning intention: We can spell words with the digraph 'ou' as in house.

Success criteria: I can draw a picture to match my spelling words

Home learning task

Say the word aloud.
Write the word.
Draw a picture to match the spelling word. Underline the tricky part of the word.

Complete the Thursday spelling column.

Maths

Learning Intention:

We are learning to tell the time.

Success Criteria:

I can tell the time to the hour. (mild)

I can tell the time to the half hour. (mild)

I can tell time to the quarter hour using the words ‘past’ and ‘to’. (Grade 2 aim- Spicy). I can tell time to the minute and analogue and digital clocks (Hot)

There are 3 videos to choose from, students are welcome to view all three or just choose the one that best suits their learning needs.

Video 1- Mild - o’clock and half past times

Video 2- Spicy - quarter past and quarter to times

Video 3- Hot - time to the minute, converting between analogy and digital and some problem solving.

Activity: Today's activity can be done in a few different ways. If students have a toy/learning clock, similar to those at school, they could use that. If not they could make a clock out of a paper plate or one they may have made last week. They could also use the online clock we used last week (see link below) however that would mean students would need two devices- one to watch the teaching video and another to use the interactive clock. Do what works best for your family. I have also included a printable page, see link here, with blank clocks that could be used but is completely optional.

Mathletics activities - these activities could be used instead of the above activity or to supplement it.

If students can use their iPad or a computer to use Mathletics, there are some games to help reinforce telling the time on an analogue clock.

Log onto Mathletics through the browser (don’t use the App on the school iPads). Under the LEARN tab (purple) there is a long list of activities. Down towards the bottom there is an orange tab marked MG Time. If you click on this a list of activities will drop down. Again towards the bottom find

for Mild chilli level- “Hour Times’ and ‘Set time to the Hour’ ‘Half Hour Times’ and ‘Set times to the Half Hour’

for Spicy chilli level- ‘Quarter to and Quarter Past Times’

for Hot chilli level- Some students may find they have access to ‘5 Minute times’ and ‘What is the time” (times to the minute between analogue and digital)

Physical Education

Learning Intention: We are learning four different passes used in basketball.

Success Criteria: We can throw a ball using different passing techniques.

Warm Up-

Use a smart tv or any other device you have , position the device where the student can see it to watch and follow what the characters do on screen.

Skill Based Activity

Basketball

Watch these Harlem Globetrotters showing the different passes we can learn.

Please get a ball, basketball is preferred but any ball will do. Children watch the video (listen to how feedback is given in the video!) Then practice the different passes with a partner or against a wall.. outside preferably!
