Math

Today in Math we are going on a Scavenger Hunt!

You will be required to go for a short walk outside and take photos of the following things you find
It is a Race! So you will need to start a timer when you leave and stop your timer when you find the final object.
Even though the objects are numbered you can find them in any order
Be safe and also considerate of the people in the public and your local community

Writing

LI: We are learning to develop our writing ideas by creating a “day in the life of” writing seed

SC: I will be successful if I can create an in depth writing seed

Activity 1 – Writing Seed

Today we will be creating a ‘Day in the Life of…’ writing seed. This seed will include all the things that you do in a day of remote learning! You may want to include when and what activities you do, what you do in your breaks, and what you might get up to after school as well.

Here is an example of mine:

Activity 2

Writers Workshop

We can now move onto our Writer’s Workshop. You still have the freedom to write what you wish, but we still expect you to take pride in your work.

Here are a few things we expect you to follow while creating your writing piece:

Freedom to write what you wish

Taking pride in your work

Writing in a peaceful and quiet environment (you could work outside in the sunshine, listen to some music if it helps you think etc.)

Following the Seven Steps and the Writing Process

This is also a fantastic opportunity to upload your work and receive some conferencing notes from your teacher!
