Learning intention: We are learning to compare and contrast characters.

We will be successful if we can: Complete the character profile for Sarah and Alice.

Reading today focuses on identifying key characteristics of Sarah and Alice. As well as recalling the episode from Monday, you will need to access the My Place website.

Step 1: Website 1 Read the information on Sarah and Alice on the website link.

Step 2: Website 2 Watch the 3 short videos to refresh your memory as well as take note of their appearance.

Step 3: Complete the character profile template for both Sarah and Alice. If you have a printer you can print this off. Otherwise, record your responses in your Reading book and upload to google classroom. Character Profile Template

YouTube video: Reading Thursday 3rd September

LI: We are learning to recite our historical recount.

We will be successful if we can:

• rehearse our recount by reading it out loud

• use a clear reading voice with expression.

Warm Up: Handwriting

Handwriting Template - Thursday

Today the fun part begins! We are turning your historical recount into a living museum!

Once again, only complete today’s lesson if you have finished your published piece.

Below are some Monologue examples to view:

Harry Fullbach - 1854 Monologue

John & Mary - 1870 Monologue

Step 1: After viewing the examples above, it is now your turn to develop your historical recount into a ‘living museum’.

Practise, Practise, Practise! Today is all about practising your lines.

When reading (or memorising) your lines, please try and remember the following:

• become your character! This might be by a change in voice, personality, accent etc.

• use punctuation correctly. This includes pausing after a full stop and when starting a new paragraph.

• Read this expression! Make it interesting for the viewer by incorporating lots of expression and ‘over the top’ acting.

• Be clear and be loud. Make sure your audience can hear you!

Step 2: Spend time memorising your recount. This will not be an easy task, so break it down into sentences or paragraphs.

Practise, Practise, Practise!

Step 3: If you have an outfit that may reflect your time period, please get it ready, as tomorrow is filming day.

** There is no need to upload any writing to Google Classroom today.

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 measure the area of compound shapes.

We will be successful when we can measure the area of compound shapes by using a formula.

Warm Up:

Converting Hectares to Square Meters and Square Meters to Hectares! Watch the video to see how to convert between hectares and square meters.

I Hectare = 10,000 m²

10,000 m² = 1 Hectare

Convert These Problems:

4 H = __________ m²

12 H = _________m²

50,000 m² = _____ H

100,000 m² = _____H

Main:

We are learning how to calculate the area of compound shapes. Thankfully, most compound shapes can be broken into many smaller shapes, usually squares and rectangles, to help us find the area. Look at the following formula and video to see how to solve these problems.

Formula for Area of Squares and Rectangles

Now you have a go at solving the following problems! Don’t forget to show your working out! Good luck.

Compound Shapes - Area Problem Sheet

Extension:

Find 3 compound shapes around your home (inside or outside) and try to calculate the area of it by measuring the sides and applying the formula. Good luck!
