Week 3

We are enjoying quizzes using Kahoot! Your task is to create a Kahoot about your Commonwealth Games country. You could do this as a team if you use Google docs first.

We are getting closer to the Production. You need to know your lines off by heart. You also need to learn the line of the part that follows yours. Practise your loud voice! Thank you for the parents who have brought in resources.

Week 2

Here are this week's Home Links which have been shared as a document. You have also got the week 2 activities for the spelling tic tac toe. Have fun!

Week 1

This week's Home Links have been shared with you. Have a great start to term three and get in the routine of a little extra, every day! This term we also have Spelling tic tac toe. I hope you give this a go and enjoy the three ways you choose to learn your words.

Term Two

Week 8

Monday:

• Inquiry topic! You need to continue your note taking for your Stars Inquiry Group. Ask loads of new questions too!
• Maths: Times table practice (and their corresponding division facts). If you make a new copy of the doc, change the numbers to suit your learning.
• Reading: Write down what you read in your home links book. Include the author. You could also make a new copy of the homework doc, if you like.

Week Six

Make a copy of this document. Change the numbers to suit your learning in the maths. Record your reading.

This week we are sharing our Genius Hour questions and presenting what we have found out so far. Here is a video to inspire your learning journey!

Week Five

We have begun Genius Hour. The first task for this is to ask effective questions about your topic choice (your passion). We still have half an hour of class time to help you work out ways to do this.

You still should read 20 minutes a night, write down what you read (title and author) and practice your number knowledge (basic facts). Here is a link to the document which has the maths and reading. It has also been shared to your Google Drive and you can make a copy.

Wonderful examples of park design were shared today. Great to see the students being creative and applying their maths skills. They are now being shared to their blogs. Please check in and make some comments.

 Here is Maia's presentation, created using Little Story Creator:

Here is Matilda's park, created using Minecraft.

Explore these websites and their appropriate links. Take notes and summarise information on anything that interests you about the stars. You could use an app like Padlet to collect your notes.

There are five sentence / punctuation games on the Writing Symbaloo.

Home Tips

How did this happen?

The five finger test is a sound guide for choosing a book that is suitable to read independently. This test will only work if it is completed with integrity.

A reminder that home learning shouldn't be stressful. Give the problems a go and move on. We can go over it in class together.
