Kindergarten Home Learning Grid – WEEK 2 - Term 2 2020
Dear Parents and Carers of Kindergarten students, the work below covers Week 2 of term 2 in a grid-like structure. It
covers all key learning areas (KLA) and reflects the work that students will be working on at school within their classrooms.
It is a continuation of the current programs that teachers have been using, although adapted for student directed learning.
Please work through it at your own pace. We advise that you use a lined A4 workbook should you not have access to a
digital device with access to the internet. Below the grid are printable versions of some of the activities which will be
noted in the grid.
As you will see there are a selection of activities that we encourage you to engage in daily to allow for practice and
consolidation of the basic concepts of print, handwriting development, sound knowledge and reading skills.
We love seeing our student's achievements at home and we encourage you daily to upload 1 task that they have
completed. It can be in the form of a photo, video recording or even a document they have created on their device or
computer. It makes our day that extra special, knowing they are enjoying their learning at home.
Just remember, it is so important to get up, move about and keep your mind and body healthy too! Take advantage of
the fitness links and brain break links throughout the day. Most importantly take time out to enjoy each other’s
company, the sunshine and your backyard.
Student check-ins – Students should check in with their teacher each day on Seesaw. If students do not check-in within a
few days, school staff will call you at home to check on their ongoing learning.
Week 2 of Term 2 2020 Have a great one everybody!

Choose a digital or non-digital task per lesson depending on what you have access to
MONDAY
2nd Step - You will need some parent help with your Second Step today
Ask your child: What can you do when you are stuck and don’t know what to do?
(Second Step answer: First try really hard by myself to figure it out. Then ask another
student for help. If I still can’t figure it out, ask a teacher or another adult for help).
Can you show me how it looks and sounds to ask for help assertively?
Second Step answer:
-Face the person you’re talking to
-Keep your head up and shoulders back
-Use a calm, firm voice
-Use respectful words
Practice at Home
Notice when your child is getting frustrated with a difficult or new task, such as tying shoes
or reading a book. Give your child enough time to try to figure it out alone before reminding
him or her to ask you for help. For example:
-I see that you are starting to feel frustrated about trying to read that page. If you would
like some help, you can say: “Excuse me. Can you please help me read these words?” Wait and
let your child ask you assertively for help. Make sure that you give him or her the help they
need soon after being asked.
Activity
Ask your child these questions:
When is a time when you need help at home or school?
What could you say to ask for help assertively? (Help your child decide what to say and then
get them to practise saying it to you.)
Digital – Video yourself practising your self-talk strategies and share with your teacher.
Non-Digital – Write a question you could ask someone if you are finding a task too difficult, in
your workbook.

Science & Technology - Learning about wood
Go for a walk inside the house to find something made from wood. Ask yourself,
• What does it feel like?
• Does it feel heavy or light?
• Is it rough or smooth?
Watch this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SwxinbpQ9B4
Can you think of thinks that are made out of wood?
Digital- Take photos of things made from wood around your home and share the one you like the
best with your class teacher.
Non-Digital: Draw things that are made from wood around your home into your workbook. You
might also like to look through some magazines or newspapers and see what pictures you can
find of things made from wood. Don’t forget to cut them out and glue them in
FRIDAY Creative & Practical Arts (CAPA)
Focus: Using body parts- Students focus on ways in which different parts of the body
can move, and begin developing a vocabulary for talking about dance.
Think of some ways you can move your body. You might be able to flap your hands,
stamp your feet, twist your torso, wriggle everything and stretch to the sky and ground.
Choose one body part and try and move it as many ways as you can. For example, an arm
dance or a leg dance. Use the following song to create your dance and then try using
another body part to create a different dance for Bruno Mars & Minions’
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7LArpSwTJXo. Students perform to the class.
Once you have practised, perform your dance in front of someone at home or in front of
the mirror or your most favourite stuffed toys.
FRIDAY Personal Development Health & Physical Education (PDHPE)
Running
You will need your fastest sneakers today as you will be practising how to run. If you can, watch the
following link to see how to best do a sprint run
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2hU04IFAr7Q&list=PLrOa7LNP0maWa6EPlnkvHlk3VsBqhuMZq
&index=8
The basic elements of sprint running are:
1. Hold your torso straight and upright.
2. Hold your head still but relax your face and neck.
3. Bend your elbows at 90 degrees.
4. Pump your arms so your hands travel from “hip to lip” and keep your arms close to your
sides.
5. As you pump your arms, keep your shoulders steady but relaxed.
6. With each stride, lift your front knee high (“knee drive”) and straighten your back leg
completely to deliver full power.
7. At the start of your sprint, keep your strides short and quick. Lengthen your strides as
you gain speed and momentum.
Try practising your running at your home, starting at one point and finishing at another (in a straight
line). Try and do this at least 5 times.
If you have people at home with you today see if you can encourage them to play a game with you
that involves sprinting and running. Here are some game ideas,
• Red-light, green-light. One person is selected to be the traffic light and stands at one end
of a field. The rest of the group stands at the other end. When the traffic light says "red
light," everyone has to freeze. When he says "green light," everyone must sprint toward
the traffic light as fast a possible, freezing again the next time "red light" is declared. The
first person to get to the traffic light gets to be the traffic light next.
• Scavenger Hunt
Equipment, a list of items to find Write out a list of items that can be found in the area where the child will be running. Try to
make some of the items specific (i.e., a water fountain) and others vague (i.e., something
that starts with the letter G). This allows the kids to get creative with their answers. Start
with the first item on the list and run to that destination. Once you get there, move on to the
next item on the list
• Where to Run Next? Equipment, Small pieces of paper with different landmarks or locations written on them.
This game is best played outdoors, in an open area with different landmarks or locations. On
small pieces of paper, a coach or other adult writes down the names of different landmarks in
the vicinity, i.e., bleachers, goal post, backstop, equipment shed, long jump pit. Put the pieces of
paper in a small bag, such as a brown paper bag or a running belt. One child pulls out a piece of
paper and reads the location. Then they all must run to that location. Once everyone reaches the
destination, a different child can pull out another piece of paper.
