YouTube Video Link: Reading- Tuesday 1st September

Learning Intention: We are learning to self-edit our writing.

We will be successful if we can:

• follow the guidelines below to self-edit our writing.

Warm Up: Handwriting

Handwriting - Tues 1st Sept

Today we are revisiting our draft from yesterday and looking at ways to improve and refine our writing.

**Please note, if you haven’t completed your draft, you must do that first.

Step 1: Re-read your draft. Answer the following questions about your draft:

• What historical accurate information does it include? Eg. reference to the gold rush, include the main form of transport being by horse etc.

• Is my recount easy to follow?

• Have I included descriptive language to ‘paint a picture’ for the reader?

• Main character: What information have I included to show my the decade my character grew up in?

** Remember, your historical recount needs to be believable. By checking over it and self-editing you are helping this!

Step 2: Include or Remove - improving our writing doesn’t always require ‘adding more’. re-read your writing again and see where you could either add additional descriptions to your recount or remove words and phrases that might not quite fit the time period.

Step 3: Read your recount out loud and edit your punctuation to improve phrasing. Things to add, remove or change include:

• full-stops, commas, exclamation mark, question marks, paragraphs, quotation marks and capital letters.

Step 4: When you are happy with your self-edited draft, read it through one final time. Then upload your work to google classroom.

Step 1: write your spelling words into the Tuesday column of your Weekly Spelling Sheet.

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

Word Snake

1. Write down one of your spelling words in the middle of your page

2. Connect another spelling word using a letter that is in both words.

3. Continue connecting your spelling words until all words are connected.

Learning Intention: We are learning how to measure the area of squares and rectangles.

We will be successful when we can: Measure the area of the squares and rectangles by using a formula.

Warm Up:

Find 3 or more objects/areas (that are squares or rectangles) around the house you can estimate, and later measure, the area of. For example, today I have chosen my laptop, my kitchen table, my mobile phone and my office. Draw up your table and put your estimates in first.

Area Table Example

Main:

Today we are using the formula to find the area for the following square and rectangles.

Squares and Rectangles - Problems Sheet

Afterwards, go back and finish your warm up table with the area formula. You will need to measure the length and the width and then multiply them to find the area! Round up or down or use a calculator to help if your numbers are too big!

Extension:

Use your knowledge of area to help solve these worded problems! Writing and drawing the lengths down can help!
