Spelling

Learning Intention:

We are learning to spell words using the digraph /ui/ as in fruit and the digraph /ew/ and as in screw, both making the sound "oo".

Success Criteria:

I can add these word endings to my Spelling words to create meaningful words.

Write out your words for this week in the daily column in your Spelling book.

Next, complete the following Spelling activity in your Spelling book:

Word Endings

Say your words.
Write out your words in a list on your activity page.
Add these endings to your words to make meaningful words if you can. -ing, -est, -ful, -ed, -er

Reading

Learning Intention:

We can login to Reading Eggs and answer questions using clues from the text.

Success Criteria:

I have used clues including words and pictures from the text to answer questions about the book.

Activity 1 -

Read chapters 1, 2, 3 and 13 of the book 'Fitness' and complete the quiz at the end of each section.
You may need to reread the text to find the important information and keywords to answer the questions at the end of each section.

If you would like to read along with Miss White, WATCH her videos here.

FITNESS - CH 1

FITNESS - CH 2

FITNESS - CH 3

FITNESS - CH 13

Activity 2 -

Complete one or two lessons in Reading Eggs.

After this, go into The Stadium and select Vocabulary or Usage activities for 10 minutes.
Your goal is to get the most questions correct, so take your time!

Writing

Learning Intention:

We are learning to write a draft for our Information Reports.

Success Criteria: I can…

organise my research into sections.
rewrite my research into my own words.

Activity 1

Today, we are going to order our Information Report research into sections using subheadings.

Here is a reminder about what subheadings are and why we use them.

Subheadings:

show our readers what that section is about
organise our writing into sections
help our readers to find information quickly
can be chosen by thinking about what the most important information in your research is about

First, have a look through your research. Hopefully you have collected your research into sections already, using the plans we completed a few weeks ago. You can use these sections to help you come up with a subheading for each section.

Here are a few examples:

If your Information Report is about pandas, you may have a collection of facts about what pandas eat. Your subheading for this section could be, “A Panda’s Diet” or “What Pandas Eat’.

If your Information Report is about Jurassic Park (the 1993 movie!), you might have a collection of facts about the special effects that were used. Your subheading for this section could be “Special Effects”.

If your research is on different pages in your English book or you can’t fit your subheading in, you can set your subheadings out in a list on a different page.

You should put the most important information first! Then, when you come to writing your final draft before publishing, you can put your subheadings into place.

Here is an example of a list of subheadings:

All About Beluga Whales
Where Beluga Whales Live
What Beluga Whales Eat
How Big Are Beluga Whales?
The Effect that Climate Change is Having on Beluga Whales

Now have a go at writing some subheadings for your own Information Report!

Activity 2

We are now going to learn more about how to write information we found while researching in our own words. This is called paraphrasing.

When you were researching, you probably copied the information you found into your English book from a website. We actually need to paraphrase our research, not copy it!

Watch this video about paraphrasing >>>

Paraphrasing means putting information into your own words. You can do this by:

rewording - replacing words and phrases with synonyms (words that mean the same thing).
rearranging - rearranging the words within a sentence to make a new sentence.

Stop! If you haven’t already, please watch Miss Evans’ Writing video for today in which she shows you how to paraphrase a few sentences!

Now that you know a bit more about paraphrasing, it’s time for you to have a go at doing it with your Information Report research. It’s a good idea to read the entire paragraph you have already written down before you start to change it.

Make sure you write your changes in a different coloured pen!

Maths

LI: We are learning to extend our understanding of known multiplication facts to solve division equations.

SC: We will be successful if we can:

-apply our know facts to new contexts

-understand division is dividing into equal groups

Warm-up

Look at this array

How many dots did you see? 18?

It shows six groups of three- 6 x 3 = 18

Can you illustrate that?

Or did you see three groups of six- 3 x 6 = 18

Can you illustrate that?

Both are true.

How many groups of three are there in eighteen? 18 ÷ 3 = 6

Or, how many groups of six are there in eighteen? 18 ÷ 6 = 3

Fact Families for multiplication & division.

Remember how addition & subtraction are inverse processes? Well, the same is true for multiplication and division.

In fact all this work learning your multiplication facts has helped you to know your design facts. If you know one you will know the other!

Multiplication says, ‘this many groups of this, amount to that’.

Division says “how many groups of this are in that?’

Can you see the family from the array above. Nothing new here!

6 x 3 = 18

3 x 6 = 18

18 ÷ 3 = 6

18 ÷ 6 = 3

Now I will create a multiplication word problem for one of these calculations.

“I bought three bags of apples. There were six apples in each bag. At recess I ate of the apples. How many did I eat? Burp!’

Here is a division word problem for one of these facts.

“At footy training, there were 18 players. They had to break into three even teams. How many were players were in each team?

Now your turn.

Use the arrays presented here.

Draw the array
Create the fact family (all four facts)
Write a multiplication word story and a division story.
