Complete the Give Bees A Chance activity assigned to you in Seesaw.

Challenge

Write down 10 facts you learnt about bees from watching this video.

Writing

I can understand point of view

When someone has an opinion on a topic, we call that their Point of View.

Often two people’s point of view on a topic might not be the same and that is ok.

Watch Ms Mahon to understand a little bit more.

Tuesday explanation 1.mp4

Watch and listen to the book ‘Give Bees a Chance’ written by Bethany Barton again.

In this book the two characters are discussing bees. Edgar’s point of view is that bees are wonderful. His friend, the bear doesn’t have the same point of view!

Your job is to list all the reasons why bees are wonderful. You can list Edgar’s reasons, as well as add in some of your own.

Use 2 or 3 of these reasons to write a full sentence explaining why Edgar loves bees so much.

Tuesday Example 2.mp4

Challenge

Draw a diagram of a bee.

Include labels and any technical language you can to share your information.

Maths

TENS Game - Card Piles

Pick your level.

Play for 5 - 10 minutes before your maths task.

You will need:

  • Deck of cards (remove picture cards)

  • Counters (lego, marbles, dried pasta, etc.)

  • Whiteboard and marker (or paper and a pencil)

  • A partner to play the game with you

1 Star TENS Challenge.MOV

Use 2 piles of cards, 1 red and 1 black with numbers 1 to 5.

Take 1 card from each pile and use the visuals on the card to determine the total of the two cards.

2 Star TENS Challenge.MOV

Use 2 piles of cards, 1 red and 1 black with numbers 1 to 10.

Turn 1 card from each pile and write the number on top of the card on a whiteboard.

Try to visualise the pattern on the cards to add them together.

Turn the cards back to check your answer. Write the number sentence to match.

3 Star TENS Challenge.mov

Use two piles of cards. 1 black and 1 red.

Turn 2 cards over and identify the larger number. Count back to the number on the smaller card to find the answer.

Your partner checks and repeats. Write the number sentence to match.

4 Star TENS Challenge.MOV

Use one deck of cards and counters. Play in pairs. Each person takes a card from the top of the pile and doubles the number.

The player with the highest double gets a counter.

Record the doubles on whiteboard. Repeat and after 10 minutes the player with the most counters is the winner.

5 Star TENS Challenge.MOV

Use one deck and split cards into 2 piles. Each player takes a card from their pile and places it face up on the table at the same time. Players then add the two cards together and double the total.

Call out the answer as soon as you know it. The player who calls out the answer first explains their strategy and takes a counter. The winner is the player with the most counters.

I can compare the value of numbers and arrange them in ascending and descending order

Watch Miss Pearce to understand today's task.

Geography

I can make a plan to design a new park

This lesson is part 1 of 2 lessons to design a park.

You have been asked to design a new park.

Using the information from yesterday's lesson about parks think about a type of park that you would like to plan.

Watch these videos to give you some ideas.

Booran Reserve playground in Glen Huntly could be best in Melbourne _ Herald Sun - Google Chrome 2021-09-14 12-21-17_Trim.mp4
Things to see and do - The Ian Potter Children's WILD PLAY Garden - Centennial Parklands - Google Chrome 2021-09-14 13-02-29.mp4

Watch Mrs Samuels' video before you start.

Think about:

  • Who will use the park? Is it used by children or also older people?

  • What will people use the park for?

  • Where is your park?

Geography Park Plan Wed WK 1.MP4

Make a list of natural and built features for your park design on the worksheet or in your book.

*Tomorrow you will use this list to draw a map of your park.
