Science and Technology Learning intentions: Draw an annotated diagram of soil solutions collected

Discuss what components of soils could change over time

● Last week in Science we learnt about the features of different soils. Today

we are going to draw a diagram and label parts of a soil solution collected

and discuss what components of soils could change. E.g. texture, colour,

stone content and porosity (the space between the particles).

Why do we use a labelled diagram? We use a labelled diagram to show

the shape, size and features of an object.

What does a labelled diagram include? A labelled diagram might

include a title, an accurate drawing, a scale to show the object’s size and

labels showing the main features. A line or arrow connects the label to the feature

Page 9: Smithfield West Public School Stage 2 Remote Learning Plan

● We know that soil is the loose surface material that covers most land. It consists of inorganic particles and organic matter.

Therefore each type has particular strengths and weaknesses for agricultural production.Soil structure influences plant growth

by affecting the movement of water, air and nutrients to plants.

● Above is an image about soil texture, structure and drainage characteristics. From this image you could see the different

features of soil.

● Task: Using the image titled ‘Soil Solution’

1. Draw an annotated diagram using this soil solution collected. ------------->

2. Label measurements of each layer next to your drawing

3. Answer the following questions:

a. What components of soil changed?

b. What things might mean that soil changed? for example, if the

vegetation changes?

(If you are working from a pack and or online your worksheet is titled ‘annotated diagram soil

solution’

Additional activities – if you have completed the mandatory activities above for the day

● Revise your multiplication facts – aiming for quick, accurate recall of all table facts

● Spend 30-minutes on StudyLadder

● Write the letters of the alphabet and find the most interesting item in your house starting with that letter. You should end up with

26 of the most interesting words

● Play a board game with someone and take a photo of yourself. Upload it to your Google classroom

Reading

Learning intentions: Connect information by observing text connectives You will be learning about connectives this week in both reading and writing activities. Connectives are words that link ideas in sentences or between paragraphs. Below is a table which highlights a detailed list of connectives. The following youtube clip also gives examples of the different types of connectives and how they are used https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mzo-lOb8tH0. There are also some examples below in your next writing lesson of sentences that use connectives. Llisten to the link below which is a talk from a 7 year old girl from the Gold Coast https://www.ted.com/talks/molly_wright_how_every_child_can_thrive_by_five?language=en#t-137156. As you are listening to this, write down all the connectives that you notice that Molly uses in her talk. Your Task Play for 10 minutes on a device by yourself. After this, play/talk for 10 minutes with another person (parent/carer, brother or sister) not on a device. You are then to write a paragraph comparing what you did for both activities and how you feel after each 10 minutes of your play. You need to include at least 2 connectives in your detailed paragraph.

Writing

Learning intentions: Identify and use grammatical features (connectives) to accurately link ideas and information Identify a variety of connectives in texts to indicate time, to add information and to clarify understanding Yesterday we wrote a paragraph using technical vocabulary, relating verbs and pronouns about sea turtles. Today we will identify and use grammatical features to link ideas and information.

● What is a connective and what do they do? ● A connective is a word that is used to join two ideas within a sentence.

Have a look at different connectives we covered in term 1.

● Example: ● Sea turtles inhabit tropical and subtropical waters around the world, like

coral reefs, seagrass beds and mangroves. While they spend most of their life in sea, females come ashore during breeding season, and can also lay 110 eggs in their nest at the one time.

● Purpose ● The purpose of using the connective ‘also’ in this sentence is to connect the idea of sea turtles, come ashore during breeding season and lay

110 eggs at the one time. Your task today is to complete cloze passage. You are to open the Google Doc titled “Sea turtle Connectives Cloze Passage” and fill in the appropriate connective from the word bank. Read the sentence first and add the connective that fits perfectly. It helps to read the sentence out loud.

Mathematics

Year 3

Learning intentions: Count by fours, sixes and eights using skip counting

Use mental strategies to multiply a one-digit number by a multiple of 10 (3 x 20)

Count by fours starting from 6 (the next ten numbers) Count by sixes starting from 10 (the next ten numbers) Count by eights starting from 12 (the next ten numbers)

Important vocabulary to remember multiply, multiplied by, product, multiplication, patterns, multiples, factors, multiplication facts What is another way I could write 6 x 3? 6 + 6 + 6 = 6 + 6 = 12 12 + 6 = 18 What is another way I could write this sentence? 20 + 20 + 20 = 60 I could write it as 20 x 3 = 60 This is called repeated addition

Page 14: Smithfield West Public School Stage 2 Remote Learning Plan

© NSW Department of Education, Jul-212

3 x 50 is the same as 50 + 50 + 50 = 150

4 x 30 is the same as 30 + 30 + 30 + 30 = 120

Complete the worksheet titled, ‘Lesson 2 repeated addition’.

Mathematics

Year 4

Learning intentions: ● Make generalisations about numbers and number relationships ● Use mental and informal written strategies to multiply a two-digit number by a one-digit number including:

○ - using known facts, eg 10 x 9 = 90 so 13 x 9 = 90 + 9 = 9 = 9 = 90 =27 =117 ○ - multiplying the tens and then the units

(If you are working from a package then read the presentation slides for this lesson).

1.We can use known multiplication facts and then extend these facts to work out a multiplication fact that is greater than our times table knowledge. View an example of this strategy and complete the worksheet in the slides presentation by typing (writing) in the text box - or writing problems on paper. 2.Using known multiplication facts is not always the most efficient way to multiply a two-digit number by a single digit so another strategy is multiplying the tens and then the ones. View an example of this strategy and complete the

Page 15: Smithfield West Public School Stage 2 Remote Learning Plan

● 2D shapes are ones that are two dimensional (flat). Without looking at the 2D shapes chart, write down as many 2D shapes you can think of. Have a look at the chart and see if you have missed any

● Take note of the amount of sides each shape has. These shapes can also be called regular 2D shapes, meaning they are drawn the way they are meant to be

● The word irregular suggests shapes are drawn with the same amount of sides but not in the standard way. Have a look at the two examples below

Notice how the pentagon in the middle is drawn in regular form yet the other shapes still have five sides but don’t necessarily look like regular pentagons? They are called irregular pentagons.

Year 4

Learning intention: Determine which of the special quadrilaterals can be used to create tessellating designs

Explain why tessellating shapes are best for measuring area

A tessellation is a pattern made of identical shapes, so they have no gaps or overlaps. Some shapes tessellate while there will be gaps with other shapes. Some tessellating patterns are created by combining shapes so that when they are combined there are no gaps or overlaps. It is not possible to create tessellating patterns with all shapes.
