The first task is to match a sizzling start technique to an example.
Below is a PDF with 2 columns. In the first column is the name of a top technique. In the second column is an example of what the top technique might look like in your writing. Your challenge today is to match the technique to the example.
To do this you can either print the page, if you have access to a printer, or you can take a screenshot of the page and edit in photos. The challenge is to draw a line to match the sizzling start technique to the example.
Task 2:
Task 2:
The second task is to choose a sizzling start technique to use and begin to draft your own 'sizzling start' for your Informative writing piece. Using the question that you chose to include in your sizzling start in yesterday's session and a sizzling start technique, have a go at drafting your own sizzling start for your informative writing piece. Below is an example a sizzling start using the technique 'Ask a Question'.
After you have finished both tasks, please take a photo of each and upload to google classroom for feedback.

Float or Sink .pdfMaths
Maths
Learning Intention: We are learning about mass and sinking and floating.
Success Criteria:
I can make estimates about whether an object will float or sink based on its weight and ‘density.’
Tuning In: Watch the Sci-Show Kids YouTube video on Floating and Sinking!
Activity: Today, conduct your own Floating and sinking experiment by filling up either your sink or bath (with your parents’ permission) and choosing some objects that are safe to go in water.
Using the chart below the video link, make your prediction first about whether you think it will float or sink. Object ideas include: a marble, coin, fork, bouncy ball, toothbrush, comb, leaf, and container.
Extension: Build your own boat out of aluminium foil. Test it in water to see how many coins/marbles/pebbles/small objects it can fit before it sinks. Sketch your design and improve it a second time.
Can it hold more? What did you change?
Here are some clips of the teachers trying out the extension challenge!
