Here we go....week 2!

Lockdown Learning Term 2 - Week 2. Hi team! Here are the activities for the second week of Term 2. Fleur will add more of her own for Wednesday. Have fun!

Maths This week I have tried to link my maths challenge to the time theme that Fleur is doing with you.  You have been looking at calendars, it will be very helpful for you to know how many months are in a year for this task! Bill puts exactly $25 into his piggy bank every month. It takes one year and three months to fill. How much money will Bill have in his full piggy bank? Tips for home: Get children to look at a calendar and confirm how many months they think are in a year. Record the important information from the question. Questions you might ask your child are: 1. How many months are there in one year? 2. How many months does it take for Bill to fill his piggy bank? So how many lots of $25 do we need to add? 3. Can you do anything to the $25 or to the number of months to break this big calculation into smaller steps? (perhaps breaking it up so you are adding all the 5s and all the 20s, or if they work out what two lots of 25 would be (you could add 20 + 20 and 5 + 5) can we use that to make the addition easier?  How much money will he have after 4 months, could this be helpful? Remember you can help them with this…. 4. How much has Bill got altogether in his piggy bank?

Literacy Writing Procedural writing task -  writing instructions Think of the most delicious sandwich you could possibly make...or the most disgusting sandwich.  Write down all the steps you would need to follow to create this. Watch the storyline online story Carla’s Sandwich for inspiration. Here is the link: https://www.storylineonline.net/books/carlas-sandwich/ You will know you have been successful when your instructions show: A title telling the purpose of the instructions. The ingredients or equipment that we need are listed. Each step is written on a new line and is numbered. Each step is written in order. Each step is written in the present tense. Each step begins with a verb. The instructions can be understood and followed by someone else. Reading -  Read one of your favourite books at home (or choose one from epic reading) and write down the: PLOT (what happens)  SETTING (where it happens, this may be several different places as the story progresses) CHARACTERS (Which people or animals are in it) Finally write a sentence explaining what you like about his book, you will need to use the word ‘because’ in your sentence.

Get creative! Sketch a design for a device that could capture an escaped lion, or that could rescue a kitten stuck in a very tall tree.  Remember to label your design.

Beau shares a yummy recipe for M & M Cookies.

Keira shares her art and maths...and moves like an Avenger!

More students giving blog activities a go!

Beau takes on the challenge of the maths question.

Beau did this amazing job of following Fleur's rabbit art activity.  Great work Beau!

Zico did the egg and vinegar activity, the acid breaks up the calcium, dissolving the shell.
He said "it felt all weird and squishy....a bit like a cold squishy rubber ball....and it smells disgusting!"

He also put damp cotton wool in an old egg shells and sprinkled cress seeds on top,

after a couple of weeks they had interesting green hair.

Parker and his brothers get active with the 'move like the avengers' blog activity.

Keira has a nice quiet space at home to get her school work done.

Thanks for emailing it through to me, I loved reading it! 

Thanks for sharing!

Wow some great work happening today...  here's some of it. (Oops sorry, thought I'd shared this from last week, sorry team!)

I love your bunnies Parker & Dexter!  Your recipe looks delicious too, I might have a go tomorrow :)
Jayden also sent me a story about Little Red Riding Hood. He's got a very crafty way that the wolf managed to get into Grandma's House.  It still needs a little polishing, when it's ready I'll post it.
