Week 3 Art– Rural Farm (Produce)

Watch how to draw a barn : https://youtu.be/lrKMn__pnKo

Use the pictures below as a guide to design an artwork of a farm. You could include:

farmhouse or barn, crops, sun, trees, hills or paddocks in the background. Use paint,

texta, crayons, chalk, cut up paper or whatever you have at home.

These are the instructions for the first artwork below if you want to do that one.

• Paint one piece of art paper in yellow and leave to dry.

• Fold second piece of art paper into eight and paint each section a different

colour. Use any colours you have but not too dark. Allow this to dry.

• Draw a pencil line on yellow art paper approximately three quarters of the way

up the side, going across the page forming the horizon.

• Cut swatches of paint (the other sheet of art paper) in strips…possibly cut

each colour in two strips.

• Cover the bottom half of yellow art paper with glue and paste strips in patches

until entire bottom half of paper is covered. It doesn’t matter if there are

gaps, but it is best to start from left to right. Use left over bits of paper to

cut out a stable, trees, sun or whatever you would like to place in the distant

horizon. Cut out an animal if you wish.

• When all this is dry, use a black marker to draw patterns on the lower half of

the page to represent crops growing. Add highlighting lines to the stable, trees

or any of the extra images added.

Fairy Rescue

Fairy Tale Story Graph

Orientation

Most fairy tales begin with one of the

following:

‘Once upon a time’

‘A long time ago in a faraway land’

‘In a faraway kingdom’

‘Once there lived’

Try to include a sizzling start…

In a faraway kingdom Princess Rosalie

leapt out of bed and glanced out her

window. It was a beautiful day, but she

felt something was terribly wrong.

Setting – Where is your story set?

Magical kingdom and the evil forest

The magical kingdom has a beautiful

castle and an enchanted fairy garden.

The evil forest is dark and foggy.

Main Characters:

Create your hero Some common traits for your hero or

heroine could be kind, humble, innocent and

kind-hearted.

Princess Rosalie – friends of the

fairies that live in the magical garden

at the bottom of the kingdom.

Create your villain Create an evil character to test your heroes’

abilities and cause them some pain.

The evil witch Agatha and her sinful

monkey named Chimbu.

Pebble – Small problem

The princess’s unicorn is

feeling unwell, so fairy

Blossom and Princess

Rosalie need to travel to

the evil forest and find a

remedy.

Rock – Medium problem

The fairy gets poisoned by

some mysterious plants and

becomes lost.

Boulder – Use your senses – see, hear, touch,

taste, smell and feel to describe the building

tension.

The fairy gets captured by the evil witch.

o She cackles quietly in the dark

forest.

o Her skin is old and wrinkly.

o The fairy is frozen with fear.

o The forest is damp and smells of

places and look out for

strangers.

Work together and help your

friends.

Resolution

Complication - Tension Building

The villain in fairy tales is normally the source of

conflict. For example, they might stop your hero from

achieving their goals or hurt them in some way.

Music: Rhythm and Programme Music

1. It’s stormy out there! Watch the following video of Rossini’s awesome storm from the William Tell Overture!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JcRuChk7Exo

3. Now, hold onto your hats and check out this storm made by a choir!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=29qaN0M0o0s

Think about how the sounds are made. Can you make your own storm sounds with your body, starting from light wind to light rain, to heavy rain, to thunder and back again?

4. Make your own storm! Look at the following pictures, find safe

household objects that you could use to represent each picture. Some ideas may be waving card, blowing through a straw or drumming your fingers on a pot or pan.

Play your mini musical representations one after another to create a little piece showing the evolution of a storm from beginning to end! Record yourself playing and upload to Seesaw for your teacher to listen to.

2. This music is written to represent a storm. Answer the following questions in the space provided: • What happens to the volume (dynamics) of the music? _______________________________________________

_______________________________________________

• Why do you think the composer chooses to do this? _______________________________________________ • What do you think the woodwind represent at the beginning and end of the music? _______________________________________________

Health Week 3 Pool Safety • Students are learning to become more aware of being safe

around pools.

Scenarios

• Brainstorm what you already know about being safe around different environments such as pools, rivers, and the beach.

• Watch the videos below about Pool Safety. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qc9kg3RN2KY https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=brK3GJtrAa0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rKBasdphXXM

• Read the scenarios on the opposite page and write down why

the behaviour is dangerous. Record yourself on Seesaw discussing how the behaviour in the scenario could be changed to make it safe. Think about all the people involved in the scenario.

• Complete the missing word passage and colour in the Pool Safety Poster or design your own poster for your family home.

How can we move water?

All food and fibre crops need water on their journey. This helps them to grow. We cannot always rely on natural rainfall to provide our crops with the water they need, so we can use technology to help.

Watch the video of an octopus sprinkler. Complete the Parts, People, Interactions thinking routine.

Parts What do the different parts of the sprinkler do?

People Who might use this sprinkler?

Interactions What would happen if a part was missing?

The octopus sprinkler is an example of spray irrigation. Irrigation is the process of transporting water from a water source to where it is needed. Farmers use irrigation to make sure that their crops have the water they need to grow. People use irrigation systems in their gardens to water their plants.

Your task today will be to build a model of a water irrigation system that you could use in a vegetable garden.

Water Transporter

Suggested materials for water irrigation system activity.

For designing:

• 1 piece of large paper

To build the water irrigation system:

• straws • tape • plasticine or Blu Tack • polystyrene cups or cardboard coffee cups • pegs or bulldog clips • a ruler • scissors • pop sticks • building blocks • books

To test the water irrigation system:

• a measuring jug or cylinder • water

Step 1: Investigate

Study the Water Irrigation System image and think about:

Step 2: Design

Sketch and label your design on a large piece of paper.

Step 3: Produce

Collect the materials that you will need and start building your water irrigation system. Good designers test and change their design as they are working.

Step 4: Test and refine

Test your water irrigation system.

Step 5: Evaluate

What worked well?

What did not work so well? Why?

Challenge: Use the Imagine If thinking routine to improve your water irrigation system. Draw or write your ideas. How could you make your water irrigation system…

… work better?

… more environmentally friendly?

… more beautiful?

“Stop! Stop!” they yelled. Sadly, they could not catch him. The Gingerbread Man laughed.“Run, run, as fast you can! You can’t catch me. I’m the Gingerbread Man!” he sang.

The Gingerbread ManThe Gingerbread ManOnce upon a time, there lived a little old woman and a little old man. One day, the little old woman was baking a delicious gingerbread man. When she opened the oven, the Gingerbread Man jumped off the baking tray and ran out of the house! They ran after the cheeky gingerbread man.

The Gingerbread ManThe Gingerbread Man

The Gingerbread Man ran until he came to a cat. “Stop! You look good enough to eat!” purred the cat and it joined in the chase.

The Gingerbread Man laughed.“Run, run, as fast you can! You can’t catch me, I’m the Gingerbread Man!” he shouted.

The Gingerbread Man ran until he came to a dog. “Stop! You look good enough to eat!” barked the dog and it chased him too.

The Gingerbread Man laughed.“Run, run, as fast you can! You can’t catch me, I’m the Gingerbread Man!” he sang.

The Gingerbread Man ran on until he came to a cockerel. “Stop! You look good enough to eat!” crowed the cockerel and it ran after him as well.

The Gingerbread Man laughed.“Run, run, as fast you can! You can’t catch me, I’m the Gingerbread Man!” he bellowed.

The Gingerbread Man ran down the lane and came to a pig. “Stop! You look good enough to eat!” snorted the pig and it chased him.

The Gingerbread Man laughed.“Run, run, as fast you can! You can’t catch me, I’m the Gingerbread Man!” he called.

The Gingerbread Man laughed. “Run, run, as fast you can! You can’t catch me, I’m the Gingerbread Man!” he shouted.

The Gingerbread Man ran on until he came to a river but he could not swim! Just then, a cunning fox came by.

The Gingerbread Man

A little further, the Gingerbread Man came to a cow.

“Stop! You look good enough to eat!” grunted the cow and it followed the Gingerbread Man.

The Gingerbread Man laughed. “Run, run, as fast you can! You can’t catch me, I’m the Gingerbread Man!” he shouted.

The Gingerbread Man ran on until he came to a horse.

“Stop! You look good enough to eat!” whickered the horse and it joined in the chase.

The Gingerbread Man laughed.“Run, run, as fast you can! You can’t catch me, I’m the Gingerbread Man!” he sang.

It wasn’t long before the Gingerbread Man came to a boy.

“Stop! You look good enough to eat!” yelled the boy and he sprinted after him.

The Gingerbread Man laughed. “Run, run, as fast you can! You can’t catch me, I’m the Gingerbread Man!” he called.

Soon, the Gingerbread Man came to a girl.

“Stop! You look good enough to eat!” cried the girl and she joined in the chase.

The little old woman, the little old man, the cat, the dog, the cockerel, the pig, the cow, the horse, the boy and the girl all ran after the Gingerbread Man.


The Gingerbread Man“I can help you to cross the river. Just hop onto my tail and I will swim across,”

offered the cunning fox. The Gingerbread Man saw that the others were coming.

“Climb onto my back,” suggested the cunning fox.The Gingerbread Man clambered on but the water was getting even deeper.

...so the Gingerbread Man did. Then, the fox tipped his head back...

“Jump onto my nose so that you don’t get wet,” ordered the fox...

...and the Gingerbread Man flew into the air. The fox opened his mouth and

He knew that if he did not go with the fox that he would be eaten. He jumped onto the fox’s tail.

Soon, the Gingerbread Man began to get wet. “Climb onto my back,” suggested the cunning fox. The Gingerbread Man clambered on but the water was getting even deeper.
