Independent / Shared Reading:
15 minutes reading your ‘Good Fit Book’.
Record this in your Reading Log.
Learning Intention: We are learning to draw connections between personal experiences and the world of texts.
Success Criteria: I can make meaningful connections to the events, issues and ideas in the text.
Activity:
Listen to Mrs. Holmes Read ‘This Small Blue Dot’
You may have seen in Jan Juc, on a wire fence by the RACV golf course, an artist has created a beautiful display of butterflies to bring happiness to the whole community.
Today we are going to make our own beautiful origami butterflies. We are going to make and then give these butterflies as a gift to someone in our community that may need something to brighten their day and cheer them up.
You might place them in the mail and send them to someone that needs the cheer up, you might pop them in someone's letterbox on your daily walk or ride, you might have mum or dad deliver them to an Aged Care home or to someone that is doing a great job during our Pandemic.
The idea is that our Butterflies will bring joy to someone in the community. It will be our way of making the Earth a better place, by spreading kindness.
Task One:
Watch the video to the left on how to create the butterfly.
Task Two:
Take your paper butterflies and attach them along a piece of string about 50cm long. You could tie them or tape them to the string and make them into a beautiful chain.
Decide who you would like to give them to and wrap them in a lovely parcel with a note….
Then GO SPREAD THE KINDNESS xx

Learning Intention: We are learning to write a letter.
Success Criteria:
- I understand the purpose of writing a letter.
- I can identify formal and informal language.
- I can plan a letter to a friend or relative.
Tuning In: Watch the video of Mr Heard Introducing the writing lesson for today.
Activity: There are many reasons that people write letters. They can include both formal and informal reasons.
A formal letter is written for business or personal reasons. The purpose of writing a formal letter can include attempting to persuade someone, asking question, making a complaint. The language we use when writing a formal letter is clear, respectful and can include technical language suitable for our purpose. We do not use informal language or contractions in formal letters.
Examples of formal letters could include a letter of complaint to a gas company, a persuasive letter to the government or a job application.
Informal letters are friendly and much more relaxed. They include an informal greeting as your reader is usually a friend or relative. The purpose of writing and informal letter can include sharing events that have been happening, asking questions to find out about the reader or thanking someone. Informal letters can include the use of contractions.
Task 1:
Formal vs Informal Language.
Create a table in your literacy book with 2 columns. At the top of the first column write the word ‘Formal’ and the top of the second column write the word ‘Informal’.
If you have access to a printer, print off and cut out the cards containing examples of either formal or informal language. Paste the examples into the correct column.
If you do not have access to a printer, read through the cards on the screen then write the examples into the correct column.
