Learning intention: We can compare aspects of life in 1818 to our own life experiences.

We will be successful if we can: Compare and contrast chores from then and now OR Compare and contrast clothing from then and now.

Today you have a choice of two different tasks comparing and contrasting aspects of life from 1818 and life now. You can choose to do both tasks if you like.

TASK #1 - Chores then and now

In the video, ‘Charles’ we see how hard life on the farm was.

Step 1: Make a list of the chores you saw Charles and John doing in the video. Add any you think they would be required to do, even if you didn’t see them in the video. Next, make a list of the chores you are required to do. Print out or draw up a table like the one linked here.

Step 2: Some of the chores you listed may be completely different, others may be similar. Transfer these chores and jobs listed into the venn diagram. Feel free to print out the one linked here or draw your own up.

Step 3: Take a photo of your two pieces and upload them to Google Classroom.

TASK #2 - Fashion then and now

Convicts transported to the colonies of Australia experienced many hardships, including inadequate clothing. Early settler women living in the colony continued to dress according to British fashion, although their access to quality garments was limited..

Step 1: Print out or draw up the table listing different items of clothing common for convicts.

Step 2: Look each of the items up on the internet searching a little bit of information and an image to see what it looks like. Fill these details in on the table.

Step 3: Imagine you are the costume designer for this My Place episode. Think about what materials, styles, colours, etc you will use. Choose a character from the episode to design a costume for. As a comparison, design your dream outfit reflecting today’s styles and designs. You can use the people templates linked here or draw up your own from scratch.

Step 4: Take a photo of your table and your two outfit designs and upload them to Google Classroom.

Learning Intention: We are learning how to create character profiles

We will be successful when we: Create a character profile that we will be using for our historical recounts.

Warm Up: Handwriting

In this lesson you will be starting to plan a character profile from which you will write a recount for in coming lessons.

Character profile- Thursday Writing Example.docx

Step 1: Using the information you gathered about your time period yesterday, begin to develop a character that would be living in this era. When developing this character think about the following things:

• Name

• Occupation (School, work)

• Background/ upbringing

• Hobbies

• Friends

• Home life (parents, brothers and sisters)

• Where they live

• Where they came from

• Age (adult or child)

• Reason for coming to Australia

• Upper, middle or lower class?

• Traits

Step 2 (Extension): If you finish early try and draw a little sketch of what your character would look like.

Step 3: Upload your work to google classroom.

Step 1: Write your spelling words into the Thursday column of your Weekly Spelling Sheet.

Step 2: Complete the spelling task ‘Fancy Writing’ by following the instructions below.

Fancy Writing

1. Write each of your spelling words in a different font!

Learning Intention: We are learning how to calculate the perimeter of triangles, hexagons and uneven shapes.

We will be successful when we can: use the formula and strategies to accurately measure the perimeter of uneven objects.

Warm Up:10-15 Minutes

To warm up today we are practising the skill of finding the perimeter of squares and rectangles. See if you can remember how without having to check yesterday’s work and notes!

I would like you to find an object in the house or outside (preferably rectangle or square), like a table or box, or a room, and measure the perimeter of it using yesterday’s formula! You can use a tape measure or ruler app on the camera of the ipad to help you! Please draw the item with the length and width to show you know how to use the formula.

Main: 35-45 Minutes

We are learning how to find the perimeter of compound shapes! Follow the formulas to help you find the perimeters (it’s the one in the bottom right corner!).

2D Shapes Perimeter Formulas - Compound Shapes

Finding The Perimeter Of Compound Shapes Video

Use the formula, and the advice from the video to calculate the perimeter of the following compound shapes!

Compound Shapes Perimeter

Extension:

See if you can find any of these shapes, or even objects to measure the perimeter of around the house using the formulas!

Or practice converting the lengths of the perimeters of the compound shapes either up or down one place and put them in order from largest to smallest or vice versa. Good luck!

Reflection:

Do you think most shapes people calculate the perimeter of are ‘normal’ 2D shapes or compound shapes? Why?
