| Reading:
Today you will work on independent reading and writing or drawing a response. You should spend about 20-30 minutes reading, and then about 15 minutes on your response. You can go to the Year 3/4 blog to read a text, or choose something of your own to read. When you have finished reading, you need to write down 10 words or phrases from your reading that you think helped to describe the setting, action, mood or feeling of the text! · Choose a book from your home collection or read the text on the Year 3/4 blog · Log in to Epic www.getepic.com/students – if you need your class code, email your teacher or check with them in WebEx · Listen to a story read aloud on Storybox online: https://storyboxlibrary.com.au/login, (user name: mppsroccs, password: mpps. |
| Writing:
Today your writing task is to describe the way a creature/person moves. We can use strong verbs to do this. For example, instead of using the verb ‘walk’ we could use tiptoe, wander, leap, sprint, soar, stomp, trudge, etc. Strong verbs are more specific and give a feeling, and can be used with all your other descriptive writing skills. Here is an example for describing dog running and catching something:
“The furry beast charged towards its prey. Its feet pounded loudly on the ground with each step closer. Its wet, black nose sniffed the air as it gnarled its teeth and let out a ferocious bark. Its eyes glared across the yard, watching its target before leaping and clenching its jaw around the object. A squeak could be heard as the delighted pup pranced back to the boy, proudly showing him the rubber toy that the pet dog had fetched so well.”
Now… choose an animal, mythical creature, or person. Picture them moving or doing a particular action. Describe it in detail – like the example. |
| Maths:
Today for maths it is time to practise interpreting data and creating your own column graph! We have supplied you with the data, so you will need to use this to create your own column graph.
First, carefully review the “Cloud Graphing” data in the image below and read the instructions carefully. Next, using the data, create a column graph ensuring you have the following information included · Title of your graph · Label for the Y axis and a clear, even scale starting from zero · Label for the X axis and a clear name for each cloud category · Space before between each column and before your first category Finally, take a picture and email to your teacher. Cloud Graphing Data Cloud Graphing Data Then, when you have completed this task, log onto Mathletics to complete at least two more assigned tasks found under “SP Data”. If you do not have your Mathletics log on please contact your classroom teacher. You might want to try these website games to remind yourself about collecting and representing data: https://www.matific.com/au/en-au/home/maths-activities/year-3/data-statistics-and-probability/ or, (The fish tank is trickier than you think!)
Remember, it’s always a good idea to practise our skip counting patterns and multiplication facts! Choose the pattern you are working on, and how you would like to practise.

Here are some suggested tasks for students in 3/4 to practise independently at home:
Today you will work on independent reading and writing a reading response. You should spend about 20-30 minutes reading, and then about 15 minutes writing down your thinking. Your reading response should include the title and author, a short summary, and your own thinking. It could include predictions, connections, questions, what you liked or disliked, or what you think the author did well. Here are some suggestions for what to read:
Today you can choose a topic and do some personal writing. If you are looking for a story idea, you can use the image here to inspire you!
We have been learning about how to use short, sharp sentences, and long sentences to have an impact. When you finish writing, reread your work and see how many short and how many long sentences you have used.

Morning 3/4s. Whoa what a night of wild weather. First there was the amazing thunder and some of the biggest bolts of lightning. Then there was that wild wind. Nice to be tacked in, nice and warm inside.
How do you go? How did your pets handle it?
Your lessons for today are:
Make sure you upload your reading, writing and maths to OneNote. You can also add other images and work from the other lessons. If you don’t know how, read the instructions on this blog page, or check with your teacher.
Hello 3/4s,
Today you will be doing your reading lesson with your teacher in your small group.
Don’t forget to do your independent reading – you might even like to write a reading response in your book and upload it to OneNote to share with your teacher so that they know what you have been reading and thinking about!
You will be reading through the script from last week: Why Koala Has A Stumpy Tail
You will also be given a new script to work on for next week: Totally Super Squad
Learning Goal: I can vary my word choice
Today you will be spending time on your personal writing. Personal writing is a time to practise your writing skills and techniques, while working on a piece of writing of your choice! It could be fiction or non-fiction, and any genre you can think of!
Today when you work on your personal writing, your goal is to think about varying your word choice.
First, watch the video to find out about how to use different word choice in your writing:
Next, create a quick plan for what you will work on today.
If you are starting a new piece of writing, this is the time to jot down your key thoughts and ideas – remember that your ideas are precious and we don’t want to lose them!
If you are continuing with a piece of writing that you have already been working on, this is the time to:
Then, spend a minimum of 30 minutes writing! Think about any writing goals that you could focus on to help improve your writing.
If you are unsure what to write about today, perhaps you could use one of these Halloween themed writing ideas (just don’t make it too spooky):

Finally,
Upload your work to OneNote. If you would like a conference or some specific feedback on this piece of writing, type a message for your teacher next to your work when you upload it.
Learning Goal: I can identify and model common fractions.
First, look at the pictures below are they an equal representation of a fraction? Justify your thinking.
Next, choose 1 shape below and demonstrate your understanding of 1/2, 1/4 and 1/8.
Example:
Then, choose 1 other shape and demonstrate your understanding of 1/3, 1/6 and 1/9.
Finally, give me a real-world example of when you would use these fractions.
Example: To share out equal parts of a birthday cake.
Challenge: See if you can use all the shapes to demonstrate your understanding of common fractions.
