FOCUS: CREATIVE WRITING Daily Practise: Spelling- Ask an adult to go through some of your home learning tasks and select some words you have misspelt. Use the activities on the ‘spelling at home’ sheet at the end of the planner to help you improve your spelling. Task: Narrative Writing Today you get to write a story. Let your imagination run wild! The only requirement for this story is that the problem must be weather related. Think about how the weather could cause a problem in your story and how your character then has to solve this problem. There could be a storm, a cyclone, flooding, a severe heat wave, a drought or snow, just to name a few. Think about how this could create an engaging story. I know Isaiah is looking for some stories to steal for assembly!

Thing to remember when you write a narrative:

● Have I introduced the main character/characters so the reader can visualise them?

● Do I have a setting for my story? ● Have I used adjectives to describe my character and

setting? ● Is the problem in my story weather related? ● Do I have a solution to my problem?

● Have I used capital letters and full stops correctly? ● Have I read over my writing to make sure it makes

sense? ● Have I checked for correct spelling of words that I am

familiar with? ● Am I proud of my story and will Isaiah want to steal it

for assembly next week?

Maths

FOCUS: CAPACITY- Problem Solving Daily Practise: If you have the Targeting Maths app, go into ‘Training’ then choose ‘Measurement’. From there choose volume or capacity. Have fun! If you don’t have the app, have another go at the subtraction from 100 task from Week 7. Start with 100. Roll a dice or turn over a card then subtract that number from 100 e.g. 100-8=92. Then start with that number, roll the dice or turn a card and subtract the amount from your previous total e.g. 92-6=86. Repeat until you get very close to zero. Task: Your task for today is on Seesaw. Take your time. Use all of the information to solve the problem. Challenge: Create a video explaining volume and capacity for our Grade One friends.

BQT

FOCUS: WEATHER This week you have been tracking the weather each day and maybe watching the TV weather report to become more familiar with how weather is described and spoken about. Weather affects what we wear each day, the activities we do and have planned, even our moods and the way we feel. Your Task: You will be presenting a Weather Report. Go onto Seesaw to learn more, and when finished to share with your teacher. There is a My Weather Report template, and Word Bank to support your writing, at the end of the planner.
