Natural Weaving. The Wurundjeri people are the traditional

owners of Melbourne. Their language is Woiwurrung.

This activity will: help children to understand

how Aboriginal people created gathering tools. It will also help to promote children’s curiosity and wonder to connect them with the natural world.

Background Information:The Wurundjeri

women were very skilled in many practical crafts. They used plant material for weaving and making twine. The grass they used for weaving was known as lomandra (karawun) in Woiwurrung. The grass fibres were used to make string for clothing, adornments, nets, carry bags, baskets and mats.

● Find a natural outdoor space that your children can explore.

● Prepare a loom structure that children can use to weave their natural treasures into.

● Ask children to weave their natural treasures into their individual or the group loom.

Floating, Hanging, Weightless Art

Have a look at Teamlab’s amazing environment of hanging, floating, weightless art using orchids:

https://youtu.be/brtqGLQb4fY

Make your own hanging art using natural found objects and some string. See my example photos and the video for how I made mine and the sorts of things you might like to find and use to make

yours. Or simply follow steps 1-3 here:

1. Find some organic found objects like seaweed, sticks, shells, native blossoms,

flowers, stones, sticks, bark, natives grasses, cuttings, banksias, seed pods,

etc 2. Using a long piece of string, twine or

wool, tie them on one at a time to form a hanging arrangement of your objects.

It can be either vertical or horizontal. 3. When tying you can wind the string

several times around each object before making secure knots and if you need to

add more string simply tie extra onto the end of the bit you’re using.

You can share your artwork by uploading a photo of your finished piece on the specialist page of

the website where it says show Miss Reark your art! I look forward to seeing and sharing what

you create.

Check out the FARL website for more techno art by Teamlab.

Guided Relaxation Sometimes our emotions and feelings can become so strong that we feel them in our bodies, not just

our minds. They may feel or look like: difficulty sleeping, crying, fast heartbeat, headaches, or

tummy aches.

To manage this, we often need a way to physically calm ourselves. A guided relaxation is one way to do this. (From Resilience, Rights and Respectful

Relationships).

Below is a Guided Relaxation story, called 'The Magic Shell' that you could ask a member of your

house to read to you. Alternatively, go to the Well-being Tab on the Home Learning page to listen to

Mrs Eldred reading “The Magic Shell"

This week’s Community Connection Event is ‘CAMPING WEEK’

For more information go to the Well Being Page.

AND – For more OPTIONAL Family Fun Activities and Positive Coping Strategies,

please go to the Well Being Tab on the IKPS Home Learning Website.

Remember to have some time off screens every day and head outside

whatever the weather!

Thursday Block One Blocks Two and Three Block Four

English Maths Physical Activity Spanish

You have 45-60 minutes for English. During this time complete SOME or ALL of these activities.

Remember, it is better to do fewer activities and to do your best learning.

Reading Eggs Can you find a nonfiction book in the Reading eggs library at your level, that describes reptiles? Remember to record this in your yellow reading diary. OR Listen to the story of The Caterpillars Shoes. In your Kid Writing Book, write down what you liked about this story. How did it make you feel?

Writing and spelling Today use your spelling words to build word families from common morphemes. A morpheme is the base word. (play, plays, playing, played, playground) Discuss tense - past, present, future. For example, “I like to play outside. We played in the park. I am playing with my brother.” Use run, ran, running in sentences. Children at this age often say ‘runned’. Model an example of ‘I ran, We ran, I am running,’ to explain past tense.

Oxford Spelling Rewrite your 3 Oxford words. You get to choose: Bubble writing, block writing or pyramid writing.

Warm Up Using a deck of playing cards (or number cards that you have made yourself), flip over one number at a time and answer the Number Warm Up questions (found on the School’s home learning website).

Problem Solving Work your way through these task cards (found on the IKPS Remote Learning website) and answer the questions. You could draw each problem and write your answers into a workbook or onto a piece of paper to help show your thinking. You may like to use Lego, pebbles, dried chickpeas, sticks, leaves, etc. as counters to help you.

‘La Republica Dominicana’, directly north

from Venezuela, in the Carribean Sea.

Download the ‘Choose your own

Adventure’ page, and decide with your

family which Dominican adventure you’re

interested in. Maybe you’ll be designing

hair, or take a trip to a coral reef.
