Please “Turn in” the highlighted piece of work daily. Your teachers will provide feedback on your work. If you are proud of something else you completed that day, you can add that for your teacher to see.

Please remember:

• We expect you to engage with and demonstrate your learning through our Google Classroom. • You must “Turn In” the highlighted work sample each day. These are specific pieces of work. • If we do not see reasonable evidence by “Turning In” work, you will be marked as “absent”

Zoom Meetings: 3 per week – Monday, Wednesday and Friday at 10.45 (unless your teacher is teaching at school)

Must Do vs Can Do and Turn it in Tasks

MUST DO TASKS

English: Narrative Writing

Lesson focus: Revision – What is a Narrative?

Watch: Narrative Stimulus Video

Think about: What is a narrative? Why are narratives useful? How can knowing about this help me?

Task 1 – Narrative Definition Complete the Narrative Cloze passage in the worksheet below. Write your own definition for a narrative in your workbook.

Task 2 – Narrative Structure Using April Fool by Katherine Battersby from The School Magazine as the stimulus (scroll down in your workbook):

• Highlight the characters, time and setting in one colour

English: Narrative Writing “Turn In” Task Lesson focus: What is Character?

Task 1 – Warm up Find an object and come up with a list of as many unconventional (unusual) uses for it as you can.

E.g., Shoe = house for a pet mouse, hat for a doll, earring for a giant, fly swat, etc

List them on the worksheet in the framework and explain the unconventional uses to an adult.

Task 2 – Character video Watch: Character video

Answer the following questions in your student workbook:

• What is a character?

English: Spelling – Onset and rime Watch: Onsets and Rimes Song Breaking down syllables into onset (the part of the syllable before the vowel e.g. ‘c’ in cat) and rimes (the part of the syllable including the vowel onwards e.g. ‘at’ in cat) can help to improve our spelling.

Use the ‘Onset and Rime Chart’ to write 30 words. (Nearly 500 words can be derived from the 37 rimes in the chart).

Use different colours for the onset and the rime. Try to create words with a variety of syllables.

Watch: Long and Short Vowel Sounds

English: Handwriting

Copy the descriptive passage from the handwriting page in neat, legible, cursive handwriting. Gregory is my beautiful grey Persian cat. He prances with pride and grace, performing a dance of disdain as he slowly lifts and lowers each paw with the delicacy of a ballet dancer. His pride, however, does not extend to his appearance, for he spends most of his time indoors watching television and growing enormous. He may snuggle up against your ankle, begging to be petted, or he may ignore your every move. But we adore Gregory for obnoxious, but endearing, habits.

Sarah-Jane EYNON
Maybe provide an example of what you mean?
Adele Sullivan
Thanks Sarah. This looks like it has been done now :)

• Highlight the problems faced by the character in a different colour

• Highlight the resolution in a third colour

Task 3 – Orientation The beginning of a story usually introduces main characters, the setting, and a possible problem.

This ‘hooks’ the reader and they want to read on. However, the start of this story hooks the reader by asking direct questions, then describes a sensation caused by something crawling over the main character’s ankle.

This makes the reader sit up and take notice!

Can you think of a text that has hooked you from the start?

How did the author hook you? Record your thoughts on the Task 3 – Orientation worksheet below.

• Are characters essential to texts?

• What traits does a character need in order to drive or influence the actions in a narrative?

Complete Character Video activity below in the workbook.

Task 3 – Connection to Character Think of a character you have connected with in a visual or written text (movie, book, TV show, song, poem etc.).

Identify your character’s goals, strengths and weaknesses, what problem they are trying to solve and what made them relatable.

Describe the appearance, behaviour, personality of the character you connect with.

Complete Connection to Character worksheet in student workbook.

Post to Google Classroom under the link ‘Wednesday Literacy Work Sample’

Long vowel sounds sound like you are saying the letter itself e.g. Kate. Short vowel sounds occur when the letter is not pronounced the way it sounds e.g. cat.

Sort your spelling list into the table below (scroll down).

English: Vocabulary This term we are learning to write narratives. Rich vocabulary and descriptive language are important to engage the reader.

Word cline: Brainstorm words on the vocabulary steps. Use a thesaurus to write words on a word cline from boring to exciting.

WEDNESDAY Maths Warm Up: Maths Worksheets:

Wellbeing Wednesday Social Emotional and Mindfulness Activity Grid

Mindful Posing

Have the kids go somewhere quiet and familiar, a place they feel safe. Next, tell them to try one of the following poses:

1. The Superman: this pose is practiced by standing with the feet just wider than the hips, fists clenched, and arms reached out to the sky, stretching the body as tall as possible.

2. The Wonder Woman: this pose is struck by standing tall with legs wider than hip-width apart and hands or fists placed on the hips

Ask the kids how they feel after a few rounds of trying either of these poses. You may be surprised.

Spidey-Senses

Instruct your kids to turn-on their “Spidey senses,” or the super-focused senses of smell, sight, hearing, taste, and touch that Spiderman uses to keep tabs on the world around him. This will encourage them to pause and focus their attention on the present, opening their awareness to the information their senses bring in

Balloons

Playing with balloons. Tell your kids that the aim of this game is to keep the balloon off the ground, but have them move slowly and gently. You can tell them to pretend the balloon is very fragile if that helps.

Body Scan

Have your kids lie down on their back on a comfortable surface and close their eyes;

Then tell them to squeeze every muscle in their body as tight as they can. Tell them to squish their toes and feet, squeeze their hands into fists, and make their legs and arms as hard as stone;

After a few seconds, have them release all their muscles and relax for a few minutes;

Encourage them to think about how their body is feeling throughout the activity

Still Quiet Place

If you’d like to use a video to help your kids learn how to practice mindfulness, the “Mindfulness Exercises for Kids: Still Quiet Place Video” is a great resource. This animated video can help students learn how to go to a “still quiet place.”

Check out the video here, and scroll down to the link below the video to see more activities from GoZen.com.

Mindfulness Exercises for Kids: Still Quiet Place (GoZen!)

Blowing Bubbles

Blowing bubbles. Have your kids focus on taking in a deep, slow breath, and exhaling steadily to fill the bubble. Encourage them to pay close attention to the bubbles as they form, detach, and pop or float away.

Pinwheels

Pinwheels. Use the same tactics from blowing bubbles to encourage mindful attention on the pinwheels.

Heartbeat Exercise

Paying attention to one’s heartbeat ha a role in many mindfulness exercises and activities. To begin, tell your kids to jump up and down in place or do jumping jacks for one minute.

When they have finished, have them sit down and put a hand over their heart. Instruct them to close their eyes and pay attention only to their heartbeat and, perhaps, their breath as well

Taste Test

Blindfolded taste tests. Use a blindfold for each child and have them experience eating a small food, like a raisin or a cranberry, as if it was their first time eating it.

Smiling Minds Videos

Check out the video selection of Smiling Minds meditation videos uploaded on Connect (we have already begun these in class)

Safari

Tell your kids that you will be going on a safari: their goal is to notice as many birds, bugs, creepy-crawlies, and any other animals as they can. Anything that walks, crawls, swims, or flies is of interest, and they’ll need to focus all of their senses to find them, especially the little ones.

Texture Bag

Texture bag. Place several small, interestingly shaped or textured objects in a bag. Have each child reach in and touch an object, one at a time, and describe what they are touching. Make sure they don’t take the object out of the bag, forcing them to use only their sense of touch to explore the object.

Mindful Breathing

😊😊 🌺🌺 Breath Meditation for Kids 😊😊 ❤ Mindfulness for Kids

This video guides children through a breathing meditation by instructing them to imagine a sailboat that rises and falls as they breathe; with each inhale and exhale, the boat moves gently on top of the water.
