Hello 3/4s,
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.
See you soon,
3/4 Teachers
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!
For example; 100 = 90 + 10, 100 = 100 x 1, 100 = 100 + 0, 100 = 200 – 100
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!

Learning Goal: I understand how the indigenous communities hunted.
First, watch the video below on the indigenous hunting tools.
Next, draw the table below in your exercise book.
|
Spear |
Boomerang |
Woomera |
|
|
|

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.
Challenge: find out more about Aboriginal Culture by visiting https://www.natgeokids.com/au/discover/history/general-history/aboriginal-australian-culture/
Learning Goal: I can create a procedural text.
First, watch the video below and see how to construct a slingshot.
Next, list all the materials used to create this slingshot.
Then, carefully write down all the steps to create this slingshot.
Finally, play the video again and see if your steps match the images.
Challenge: record yourself reading the steps to making this slingshot.
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

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:
Challenge: use your slingshot and see if you can set a new record. Post the distance of your sock throw in the post below.
Today’s schedule:
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!

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:
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!
Survivors… BEGIN!
Learning Goal: I can compare different types of shelters.
First, press play to read along and listen to the text about the floating shelters in Peru.
Next, think about your home. What materials is it made out of? What shelter does it give you? What are the rooms like?
Then, draw a venn diagram. Make a list of the features your home has, the features the floating homes have, and similarities they both have.
Finally, re-read and edit your work
Don’t forget to do 20 minutes of independent reading.
