Week 9

Good afternoon and welcome to week 9.

Firstly, let me say a great big thank you to everyone.  Your support over the past few weeks has been wonderful.  Should you or your children have any questions, I am here to support you in anyway I can.  At this point email is probably the best way to contact me.

This week I will send a link to the Week 9 online learning grid and will include links to the spelling sheets, mathletics sheets and Study Ladder log in details.

To make our home learning easier, I have included some videos that will make accessing the online tasks easier.  Please click on the links below to watch the videos.

Spelling
This week our concept is 'i as in igloo'.  Please use the words below to complete the activities.



Writing
This week, one of the activities I have set is a free write.  If your child is struggling to think of what to write, the pictures below may give them some ideas.  Please let the children know that I am fine despite the wild animals in my house.  I managed to guide them back outside with nothing but a flesh wound!



Maths
This week in mental math we are reviewing the strategies we have learned this term.  Please note that not all of the strategies are able to be reviewed, but some that students struggled with are included in the daily practice.


To help complete the math tasks this week, I have included a number of video clips to watch.  These videos can be accessed by clicking on the link in the home learning template, or the links below.


I have also made this video that will explain Lines of symmetry  Students may like to watch these videos before commencing the activities on symmetry.

With rotational symmetry, this link will take you to the website which explains rotational symmetry.

Art
Some of the students have started the circular weaving art task.  The two videos below will walk through how to make a circular weaving loom and how to complete the circular weaving task.




I hope you have a wonderful week and please do not hesitate to contact me if you need any further information.

Week 3

Welcome to week three. I hope you were all able to enjoy at least a little of the wonderful weather we had over the weekend, I know I did! This week we are moving into addition strategies in maths and continuing working through narrative writing in literacy.  This week in science we are exploring and manipulating shadows. Just a few points of note this week;  Homework Students have glued into their homework books their spelling, ma ths and homework grid. This is due Friday to provide opportunity to complete this around the busy home schedule.  All students have brought home a reader and I am starting to see these be swapped.  If your child has finished their reader, please encourage them to swap this in the morning before lesson start.  Please support your child to complete their homework by providing them the time to sit and complete this work. This week the mental maths strategy is finding doubles and there is an example at the top of the homework page.  I have introduced the new add
