Stage 2 Home Learning Grid – WEEK 4 - Term 2 2020

Dear Parents and Carers of years 3 and 4 students, the work below covers week 4 of Term 2 in a grid-like structure. It covers all key learning

areas (KLA) and reflects the work that students will be working on at school within their classrooms. It is a continuation of the current

programs that teachers have been using, although adapted for student directed learning. We have given you guidance as to which lessons you

might do on which days, but it is fine to mix it up and do different lessons on different days if it works better for you. Please work through

it at your own pace. We advise that you use a lined A4 workbook should you not have access to a digital device with access to the internet.

Student check-ins – Students should check in with their teacher each day on OneNote on their student check-in page in their Collaboration

Folder. If students have a question about their learning, they can ask their teacher on OneNote. If students do not check-in within a few

days, school staff will call you at home to check on their ongoing learning.

Learning on OneNote - We love seeing our student's achievements and the work they are completing at home so we can offer feedback. We

encourage students to complete their work in their digital folders (the one that has their name on it) on their class OneNote daily. It makes

our day that extra special, knowing they are enjoying learning from home.

Remember - Log onto Reading Eggs using the details provided by your teacher and continue with your level or read some books and make up

some stories with your family. It is important to get up, move about and keep your mind and body healthy too! Take advantage of brain breaks

throughout the day. Most importantly take time out to enjoy each other’s company, the sunshine and your backyard.

THURSDAY

Time

Play the following game with a partner. You only need a deck of cards, a

whiteboard marker & mini whiteboard OR a piece of paper, pencil & rubber.

Objective - Beat your opponent around the clock first.

How to Play - Shuffle the cards and draw a clock face on your paper or mini whiteboard with

the time drawn as 12:00.

The florist ordered 310

bouquets for Mother’s Day

and sold 247 bouquets. How

many bouquets are left?

TIme game: Read the

time on an analogue

clock and match with

digital time. Different

levels of difficulty.

Options include using a

24 hour clock and

seeing how many

Play the game to see who can move the hands from 12:00 to 1:00 first.

The youngest player starts first and draws a card off the deck. The number on

the card tells the player how many minutes to move their clock. So if you draw a 6, the player draws their hand to show 12:06, and announces their new time.

The next player does the same, drawing and moving the hands on their own

clock.

If a player draws the following face cards, they earn the designated times.

Jack = 15 minutes

Queen = 20 minutes

King = 25 minutes

Ace = lose 30 minutes

Joker = lose a turn

If you've just started the game and a player draws an Ace (e.g. they have not moved past 12:30), they must move back to 12:00. Or if they have moved past 12:30, they must move back the full 30 minutes.

Understanding different perspectives

Today we will be exploring how different people can have different ways of thinking or looking at something. This is called a ‘perspective’. Look

at the image below:

Read the following scenario and answer the questions below it in your digital folder on your class OneNote or in your A4 workbook.

Scenario – Alyssa and Omar are building a castle of cardboard for a class project they’re working on. Omar is standing back, admiring their

castle, while Alyssa is madly cutting and pasting a dungeon together. The end-of-day bell rings.

“I think the castle looks great! We’re totally going to get an A!” Omar shouts as he starts to run off. “Gotta go!”

“What? Wait! We’re not done! Can’t you see I’m still working on it? Get back here!” calls Alyssa angrily.

Questions:

1. How would you describe Omar’s perspective on the project?

2. How would you describe Alyssa’s perspective on what just happened?

3. What could Omar do differently if he really thought about Alyssa’s perspective?

4. What could Alyssa do differently if she really thought about Omar’s perspective?

WEDNESDAY

Light movements

Go into an open space, whether it is your backyard or a room and do some stretching to warm up your body. Experiment with light

movements by pretending you are a bird gently flapping its wings, being a butterfly, being the wind, being the leaves or the trees blowing in

the wind. Light movements glide and are smooth and calm.

Compare these light movements to our strong movements from last week. Light movements include fluttering hands, twitching heads, bouncy

jumps, lightly stepping and springing, circling, swaying, falling and floating. Light movements lack force.

Choose three light movements for example flutter, float and fall. Maybe play some music like this to help you:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lFcSrYw-ARY . Explore and find the most appropriate body part, plan the location of the movements

(above, below, to the side, behind, across) and combine the movements into a sequence and perform the sequence twice.

Reflection: What other movements could have been chosen? What was a challenge when moving lightly?
