WALT: give compliments to others.

Giving compliments is a great thing to do as it can make someone feel better instantly.

Make a letter, card or picture for a friend or family member telling them that you appreciate them.

Compliment Challenge Your task for this week is to try to give out 2 compliments a day.

These could be to a family member face to face or a friend over the phone.

Reading WALT: identify the problem and solution in a text

A key element in learning to make a summary about a text is being able to identify the problem and the solution in a text. Today, we are going to focus on identifying the problem and solution.

Watch: Pigeon Impossible

Answer the following questions about the video:

What was the major problem in the story?

How was this solved?

Did anything else important occur?

Independent Reading: Read a picture story book (if you don’t have any at home check out

I watched: The Present

What was the major problem in the

story?

In this story, a boy was given a present

which was a pet puppy. The boy finds

out the puppy only has three legs and is

immediately disappointed.

How was this solved

LiteracyPro or Epic!). Answer the following question about the texts.

Remember: the problem could be what a character wants to change, achieve, fix, figure out or discover.

What was the major problem in the story?

How was this solved?

Did anything else important occur?

When the boy angrily kicks the ball

away, the puppy goes and fetches the

ball (like most four-legged puppies

would). The boy finds himself giggling at

the puppy’s clumsiness and he realises

his three legged puppy could still be fun

to play with so he goes outside to play

with him.

Did anything else important occur?

We also discover at the end of the video

that the boy is missing one of his legs as

well.

Writing WALT: develop a plot for a narrative

Today, you are going to focus on

developing a plot for your narrative.

A plot is the sequence of events that

make up a story. When planning a

plot you need to think about:

* characters

* the setting

* problem of the story

* how you can build your story to

create suspense

* how the problem is resolved

Using the ‘Story Map’ worksheet you

are going to begin planning your

narrative. You may like to use your

‘Lost World’ setting or characters from

yesterday's lesson.

Once you have completed the

worksheet, draw an image of your

characters and the problem of the

story.

Numeracy WALT: order decimals Tune In:

Times Tables

Roll two dice and quickly multiply the

two numbers. See how fast you can

go.

Reading WALT: to find the main idea of a text

Once we understand the events that occur in a text, it is important to find

the main idea.

Writing WALT: use twists in our writing

When planning a narrative it’s

important to have ‘twists’ to your

plot, so that you can build your story

to create suspense.

A plot twist is something that happens

in the story that readers do not

expect. It is where something

shocking happens or something

shocking is revealed.

Example Plot twists:

The reveal of the villin is a surprise to the

audience,

maybe they’re a minor character or

someone entirely unexpected (such as a

close friend or relative). Eg: Frozen, Iron

Man.

The hero's actions make the situation

even worse than before. Perhaps they

trigger an apocalypse or maybe the

In the next column, look at some of

the examples of plot twists.

Using the ‘Narrative Planning’

worksheet you are going to continue

with planning your narrative. You are

going to focus on adding some

‘twists’ to make it more engaging.

Using the ‘Comic Strip’ worksheet

you are going to create a comic strip

of your narrative. Make sure to

include the important parts of the plot

and main characters.

antidote they used is poison! Eg: The

Incredibles

Inquiry WALT: understand what can cause floods.

The Australian Government defines a flood as “The covering of normally dry land

by water that has escaped or been released from the normal confines of: any

lake, or any river, creek or other natural watercourse, whether or not altered or

modified; or any reservoir, canal, or dam.”

Floods can have both positive and negative impacts. They can bring relief for

people and ecosystems suffering from prolonged drought, but also are estimated

to be the most costly natural disaster in Australia.

Flooding occurs most commonly from heavy rainfall when natural watercourses

do not have the capacity to carry excess water. However, floods are not always

caused by heavy rainfall. In coastal areas, water inundation can be caused by a

storm surge as a result of a tropical cyclone, a tsunami or a high tide coinciding

with higher than normal river levels.

Tune in

Watch this video about the different causes of floods.

How to find the main idea

Activity:

Read the following passages and

identify the main idea in each. You can

check your answers in today's morning

message on compass.

Writing WALT: use story starters The start of your story should ‘HOOK’

the reader and make them want to

read on! Think about the ‘Sizzling

Starts’ that you could use to begin your

story. Look at some of the examples in

the next column.

Today you are going to focus on the

start of your story and how you can use

sizzling starts to ‘hook’ the reader.

Examples of Sizzling Starts:

Introduce a character - Peter was

known for his honesty, but he had a

secret that nobody else knew … until

today

Sounds - ‘GRRRRR!’ The growling of

the dog made Tim tremble in fear.

For each of the images below you are

going to write a paragraph for the start

of a story that will make the reader

want to continue reading. Use the

example to help you.

Example:

Where am I? What am I doing here? I

feel so lost. I can feel the hard, sharp

gravel in between my toes and the cold

brush of wind gently passing over my

skin. I don’t know where I am or how I

got here. Not knowing where the old

dirty path leads, I slowly start to walk

into the unknown. Suddenly, a dark

shadow is standing over me, I look up

and see ….

Describe a setting - The house at the

end of the street was old and tired and

had been empty for many years.

Rhetorical Question - Was she too

late? What if she never got to see her

family again?

Exclamation! You won’t believe what I

just saw!

Mystery - As he moved closer to the

strange figure, Brian could just make out

the shape of horns on top of its head.

In the middle of the action! George

dived under the table as the deafening

sound outside got louder.

Dialogue - “Don’t move!” Henry

screamed to warn his little brother of the

ferocious dog next to him.

how Media use has benefited our society and how has it changed.

For most of Term 2 we have been

remote learning. The way society

has continued to function has changed

during this time.

The use of media and technology has

been more important than

ever before and our use of it has also

changed.

Take a look at how these different age

groups are using technology

since the Covid 19 isolation. This

shows how much more they are using

each technology.
