Stage 3 Home Learning Grid – WEEK 4 - Term 2 2020

Dear Parents and Carers of years 5 and 6 students, the work below covers week 4 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. We have given you guidance as to which lessons you

might do on which days, but it is fine to mix it up and do different lessons on different days if it works better for you. 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.

Student check-ins – Students should check in with their teacher each day on OneNote on their student check-in page in their Collaboration

Folder. If students have a question about their learning, they can ask their teacher on OneNote. If students do not check-in within a few

days, school staff will call you at home to check on their ongoing learning.

Learning on OneNote - We love seeing our student's achievements and the work they are completing at home so we can offer feedback. We

encourage students to complete their work in their digital folders (the one that has their name on it) on OneNote daily. It makes our day

that extra special, knowing they are enjoying learning from home.

Remember - Log onto Reading Eggs using the details provided by your teacher and continue with your level or read some books and make up

some stories with your family. It is important to get up, move about and keep your mind and body healthy too! Take advantage of brain break

links throughout the day. Most importantly take time out to enjoy each other’s company, the sunshine and your backyard.

MONDAY

Today is a reading/listening only day. Be sure to reflect on each chapter in

Bridge to Terabithia as you go.

Read chapter 5 of your hardcopy book or listen to Chapter 5 here:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rJJa_3IZdQw

Summarise the chapter in a paragraph in your digital folder on your class

OneNote or in your A4 workbook.

Impromptu speech presenting

is an important skill to have.

You basically need to ‘think

on the spot’ about a topic

that you feel is important.

Give a 1-minute impromptu

speech to your family about

the importance of

sustainability.

Summarising is one of the

Super 6 Comprehension

Keys. When you

summarise, it’s important

to think about these points.

1. What was it about?

2. What were the

main ideas?

3. What was most

important?

4. Any key examples?

Another question to ask

yourself might be “if I was

to tell another person

about the chapter, how

could I do this in a few

sentences/paragraphs?”

TUESDAY

In your digital folder on your class OneNote or in your A4 workbook,

answer the following questions on Chapter 5:

1) What would Janice Avery and her friends make the little girls do each

morning?

2) Why did Jess tell May Belle to keep quiet about the Twinkies?

3) What did Leslie tell May Belle that would happen to Jess, if he fought

with Janice?

4) What did they promise May Belle?

5) What did Leslie say girls like Janice hate most?

6) What did they decide to do?

7) How did Leslie distract Mrs. Pierce and stop her going in to the

classroom?

8) What did Wilma Dean whisper loudly to the others on the bus that

afternoon?

9) What did Billy Morris say?

10) Why were May Belle's eyes shining?

Hold a spelling test with

yourself and a sibling (or

parent/carer). Get your

sibling/parent/carer to say

random words and try to spell

them on a piece of paper,

mini whiteboard etc. See how

many you get correct. If you

get any wrong, try and find

out where you went wrong so

the next time you spell the

same word you will get it

correct.

Remember the following

when answering

comprehension questions:

• Read the text again

(or watch the video

again) and pay

close attention

• Look and listen for

key words and

phrases

• Answer the

questions in full

sentences

• Ask for assistance if

you need any help

• Skip any questions

that are too

difficult and come

back to it at the

end

• Have a go!

WEDNESDAY

Reflect on the following chapter in Bridge to Terabithia as you go.

Read Chapter 6 of your hardcopy book or listen to Chapter 6 here:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Au4T5CA7pGU

Summarise the chapter in a paragraph in your digital folder on your class

OneNote or in your A4 workbook with a particular emphasis on why Jess’s

dad was so angry about the racing car.

Captions are usually a

sentence or two that explain

what is happening in an

image, drawing or photo.

Some photos are quite funny

to caption! Caption this photo

below in your digital folder on

your class OneNote or in your

A4 workbook:

When you are summarising

remember SUM:

talk by a keeper regarding the

deadliest animals in the

world:

https://www.youtube.com/w

atch?v=gWKGuSZp1PA. Don’t

forget to include key words.

Look back at your notes and

see if they make sense.

When you are

summarising, you could

also think of this:

Somebody (main

character), Wanted (what

did they want), But (what

was the problem), So (how

was the problem solved),

Then (what is the

resolution).

FRIDAY

Mostly melting Complete the experiment below at home: Here is the link to Mr Murray’s experiment video- https://youtu.be/plL1Jf-5Pbo Preparation 3 frozen ices cubes, 1 frozen milk cube, one cooked (overcooked) and one normal piece of chocolate and 2 bits of fruit of the same size one frozen. Look at and record descriptions of the unfrozen items in your Term 2 science journals. Remove the frozen items and your burnt chocolate and record descriptions of how they are different by putting each item next to its unfrozen pair. Look at the ice, frozen milk and the fruit can you see ice crystals in them. Have a smell of the burnt chocolate and the unburnt chocolate can you smell the unburnt chocolate; can you still smell the sweetness in the burnt chocolate. We will be asking this next question every week:

• Can you reverse the process and return each item back to normal? Record your hypothesis.

• Will the milk fruit and water look the same when they thaw?

• Can you put the burnt chocolate in the freezer and return it to normal? Test this and record what happened in your science journal.

Bullying Prevention: Recognising Bullying

2nd Step

Last lesson we looked at what bullying may look like and if you believed it was fair or unfair. Today you will be learning about the types of

bullying and the definition. We all know that bullying is wrong and unacceptable, but if we are to create a safe, respectful school, we need

to be able to recognise bullying and know what can be done about it.

In your digital folder on your class OneNote or in your A4 workbook, write the following types of bullying under the correct headings by

creating a table similar to the example: pushing, tripping, spreading rumours, excluding, name-calling, teasing, sending mean emails or

texts, writing mean things about someone on social-networking sites, name-calling. Some may be both.

E.g.

Face-to-Face Behind-the-back Both

Bullying is when one or more people repeatedly harm, harass, intimidate or exclude others. Bullying is unfair and one-sided. Write a

definition of what ‘unfair’ means to you in your digital folder on your class OneNote or in your A4 workbook.

WEDNESDAY Listen to the national anthem of the Philipines and read the lyrics:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-FUBJY6nco0

Translation

Land of the morning

Child of the sun returning

With fervour burning

Thee do our souls adore.

Land dear and holy

Cradle of noble heroes

Ne’er shall invaders

Trample thy sacred shores.

Ever within thy skies and through thy clouds

And o’er thy hills and seas

Do we behold the radiance

feel the throb of glorious liberty.

Thy banner dear to all our hearts

Research what the flag of the Philippines looks like and why

each colour is used. What does each colour symbolise?

Draw the flag of the Philippines on a separate piece of

paper.

Its sun and stars alight

Oh, never shall its shining fields

Be dimmed by tyrants might!

Beautiful land of love, o land of light

In thine embrace ’tis rapture to lie

But it is glory ever, when thou art wronged

For us thy sons to suffer and die.

Answer the following questions:

• What instruments do you hear? • What type of tempo (speed) does it have? • Why do you think they used these instruments to create this type of

tune/sound? • Apart from the language, what makes this anthem different to the

Australian National Anthem? • How does the sound of this anthem make you feel? • Do you like this piece of music? Why/why not?

Record your findings in either in your digital folder in your class OneNote or
