Today during your small group meeting you will be discussing your book club books with your group members. Be ready to share a short summary, your favourite part of the book and any other thoughts you would like to discuss.
Please bring along the home learning book your book club scrapbooks, a grey lead, and a readiness to discuss your thoughts.
Today, we will be using all of the knowledge we have built in number operations to complete some maths challenges!
Learning Goal: I can apply my knowledge of number operations to solve maths challenges.
First, listen to or read the information below;
Next, get your maths muscles flexing and warm up with a one minute challenge! Your answer is 100, in one minute write as many number sentences as you can!
Record and circle the amount of number sentences you came up with – as a challenge you might set a timer for another minute and see if you can improve on the total of number sentences you can create!
Then, select an operation or operations you would like to revise and practise and choose the game or hands-on activity you will put into practice.
Challenge: choose another number operation and challenge yourself to practice additional skills! And, record and circle the amount of number sentences you came up with in the warm up activity – as a challenge you might set a timer for another minute and see if you can improve on the total of number sentences you can create!

Welcome to the last day of term 3! You have done an amazing job this term with all the challenges we have faced. You have shown resilience and the work that has been produced has been outstanding.
Today is our last day of our Survivor Challenge. Here is the schedule for today and your activities that will follow.
Today’s schedule:
9:00am-10:00am: WebEx meeting with all Grade 3/4 classes. Join the following room at 9:00am:
Then, list all the features of the hunting tools from the video.
Finally, reply to this post by telling me which one of these tools you think was the most efficient and justify your answer by explaining your thinking.
Learning Goal: I can use units of measurement accurately.
First, see if you can list all the equipment used by these Olympians in the pictures below:
Next, read about the recent record below:
A recent Olympic record for throwing the Javelin was about 95 (child) strides, for throwing the shot put it was 76 (child) strides and finally for throwing the discus it was about 82 (child) strides.
Then, think about what units of measurement you could use to give an accurate measurement for those records.
After that, estimate each of the records using formal units of measurement
Informal units
Estimate using formal units of measurement
Accurate measurement
Javelin
95 strides
Shot put
76 strides
discus
82 strides
Finally, use a measuring tool of your choice, measure the accuracy of each Olympian’s throw.
Don’t forget, you can watch the video below to remind yourself about units of measurements:
9:00am – 9:30am: Class Webex meeting. Your teacher will go through the document below which lists a range of activities you can choose from to work on today. They will also discuss with you how you can plan your day.
Today there will be no small group sessions with your classroom teacher as it is a planning day for term 4.
Instead you will get the chance to explore some interesting places and activities, and learn about and try new things!
The PDF below has a list of suggested activities and a suggestion of how you could plan your day.
Look at the suggested activities below and plan your day.
You can choose as many of the activities as you like.
You can also include any other activities that you might like to do independently or with your family.
Make sure you are not on your screen for too long – include a balance of hands-on activities as well as using the websites to explore some amazing places and activities.
Have a fantastic day!
Take some photos or videos of things you have worked on or created and share them with your teacher.
Welcome to day 2 of survivor. Good morning and congratulations. You all aced it through day 1 of the survivor challenge!
Nicole and Zoe are your hosts for day 2. Yesterday you formed your tribe and chose your mascot, and today you need to build your shelter! Nicole, 3/4 A. I know there are other tribes watching so I will let you know where this shelter is later!
First… Watch the video below to learn about today’s Survivor Challenge:
Next… listen to the audio or read below to get ready for your tasks today:
Now that Zoe has set the scene for you from her secret survivor shelter, it is time to get to work.Before you start, spend 5-10 minutes getting survivor fit with these practise challenges!
To be able to survive in extreme conditions you will need skills such as strength, balance, endurance, strong willpower, and communication skills. Try out one or two of these practise challenges and see how you go:
Stand on one leg: Set a timer or stop watch and see how long you can stand still on one leg. Have 3 attempts to find your longest time.
Staring competition: Choose a partner at home, or use a mirror – how long can you go without blinking?
Survival calls: If you lose your team mates in the jungle, how will you find each other? Come up with a special call that your team mates can recognise to find you! Can you include some animal noises?
Superhero pose: Choose your own superhero pose. Stay strong and bold and still! How long can you stay in this position without moving a muscle.
To make sure you are able to build the best possible shelter, you will need to complete learning tasks in:
Then… it is time to complete your survivor challenge and create your shelter. Remember to check with the grown-ups in your home before pulling apart the couch cushion or creating any other kind of mess. Look at the examples and details below:
Don’t forget about Mindfulness – a strong, sharp mind is essential to surviving!
