I want you to predict:1. What you think the book will be about and why.2. What you think might happen and why.You can write your ideas down or just have a think about it.Okay now let’s listen to the story. You can either watch it on YouTube at https://www.youtube.com/embed/VaWLy91 Xo or You can listen to Ms McInerney reading the story athttps://youtu.be/WcpdmxyWvCUYou can listen to Miss Eccleston explaining positive words athttps://www.youtube.com/embed/JalIP6rqUYo or continue reading below.Next, I want you to think about the persuasive language that was used in the text.

1. Which words were used in a positive way? Make a list of all the words that were used in the text that werepositive. Remember, positive words make the reader feel good. Example: neat.You can listen to Miss Eccleston explaining negative words at https://www.youtube.com/embed/W-MTcJNKm9s orcontinue reading below.2. Which words were used in a negative way? Make a list of all the words that were used inthe text that were negative. Remember, negative words make the reader feel sad oruncomfortable. Example: old.You can listen to Miss Eccleston explaining the next part of the lesson athttps://www.youtube.com/embed/ZXkcxFOd9qM or continue reading below.Let’s discuss the problems with grandpas’ slippers.Is it convincing just to say that something has a hole in it?How could that be made more persuasive? (by explaining the negative impact).For example, If I said that the window was open, would that be a problem? Would that convince you to close thewindow? (not really).But if I said that the window was open so the rain would come in, would that be more likely to convince you to closethe window? Why?Perhaps it took Grandpa so long to be persuaded by Grandma’s arguments because she didn’t give him reasons tosupport her opinion. Yes, the stitching was coming undone and the fluff had worn off, but why were those issuesreal problems?I want you to complete the activity **See Week 4 Monday Writing What's the problem with Grandpa's slippers. Youcan print the worksheet or write your answers on a piece of paper, labelling each sentence 1-5 to match thepictures.You need to use the images from the text to say what the problem is and then give a reason to explain the negativeimpact on Grandpa.This is Miss Eccleston's example for the first picture: They have holes in the soles of the slippers, so Grandpa’sfeet would get wet and dirty from the ground.Once you have completed the activity, don’t forget to upload to our google classroom if you would like a teacher tosee your amazing work!BREAKHave a snack, do some stretches and play a game.

Middle session: MATHEMATICSNumber of theDayNumber of the day is 12(two-digit) or 120 (three-digit). Use the attachment ** See Week 4 Monday Number of theday or write your answers on some paper.Challenge: Use the 2120 (four-digit) and write how many ways you can make it.Below are pictures from Miss Eccleston showing you how to use each part of the new Number of the day worksheetusing the three-digit number 327 as an example.TENWatch this video of Miss Kentwell explaining the TEN activity for this week. Alternatively, you can follow theinstructions below https://www.youtube.com/embed/EFmnp5z5R0MStarting with 20 counters (or any object of your choice) close your eyes and randomly select some of the objectsand take them away. Find out how many you have taken away by counting the amount you have left, then countingback to that amount from 20 and fill in the blanks. You can use a number line to assist you if needed. Write thenumber sentence on a whiteboard or paper.e.g. if 12 counters are visible, count back from 20 until you reach 12.We jumped back 8 times, so 20-8 12For an extension you can try the same activity from 50. If you don’t have 50 objects to use, you can access aninteractive hundreds chart, select a number at random (below 50) and work out the difference between 50 and thisnumber.e.g. pick the number 23, count back from 50 until you reach 23 and work out the difference. 50 -? 23

Challenge: Complete the same task using the whole hundreds chart and count back from 100Interactive number line teractive hundreds chart https://www.mathplayground.com/interactive hundreds chart.htmlMaths(Number andAlgebra)Multiplication- Skip CountingSkip counting is counting by a number that isn't one, a skill that lets you count many things quickly and can help youlearn your multiplication tables. Practice skip counting by two, three, five and ten.Skip counting helps us to:· create number patterns· help us to count a collection of objects more quickly· help us to add, subtract, multiply and divide· repeatedly add the same number to a patternSome examples of skip patterns are: counting by 2s - 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, counting by 5s - 5, 10, 15, 20, 25,

counting by 10s - 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, When counting a skip number pattern, we only say the numbers from the skip pattern out loud.For example, when we count by 2s we only say every second number:1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, Can you think of any other skip number patterns?When we skip count by 2s we create a skip pattern.Starting from 0, we skip 1 then say 2, skip 3, then say 4, and continue counting, only saying every second numberto create a two-skip pattern.In a two-skip pattern, each time we skip a number, we add on by 2!· Use one coloured marker to colour counting by 2’s on the Hundreds chart. **See Week 4 Monday MathsHundreds chartWhat do you notice about the pattern?· Choose another colour and mark counting by 5’s· Choose another colour and mark counting by 10’sCan you see the patterns?Do you notice anything about the pattern of 5’s and 10’’s?· Complete the attached worksheet- **See Week 4 Monday Maths Skip Bug CountingChallenge: Grab a skipping rope or a ball to bounce and practise skip counting.

Creative Arts(Music)My Sound SongYou can listen to Mrs Robards explaining the lesson here https://www.youtube.com/embed/0AIzmfNvEV0 orcontinue reading below.This lesson will be using body percussion to teach you how to write music. Don’t worry. We won’t be writing with theactual music symbols yet. We are going to use simple symbols like a dot or a star instead.Brainstorm about 3 - 4 (or more if you like) body percussion sounds for example: clap (your hands), snap (click yourfingers), stomp (your feet) and hit the table or desk.Draw a symbol to represent each sound for example: a star for clap, a heart for snap, a square for stomp and atriangle for “hit” the table or desk.Make a pattern or a strip of the symbols in whatever order you like.Test out how your sound song will sound when performed.You could make many different strips of sounds and rearrange the order, so your sound song is different every time.If you can, take a video of your performance or send a photo of your sound song and I could try it out.Here is an example of what your sound song would look like.

Have fun making music. Miss Robards can’t wait to see what wonderful sound songs you will createYAY! IT’S THE AFTERNOON :)

When we skip count by 2s we create a skip pattern. Starting from 0, we skip 1 then say 2, skip 3, then say 4, and continue counting, only saying every second number to create a two-skip pattern. In a two-skip pattern, each time we skip a number, we add on by 2! · Use one coloured marker to colour counting by 2’s on the Hundreds chart.
