To finish the day, don’t forget to move around.

For example, you may want to play the Fast Foot Challenge. Place down a starting marker and then a second marker five steps away. Each time you dribble the ball around the marker and back you score one point. How many times can you dribble a ball around a marker and back in 60 seconds? In 5 minutes? In 10 minutes? Can you keep going even if you lose control of the ball? Dribble the ball using only your weaker foot. 

If you do not have a ball, how many times can you run around the marker and back?

The 3/4 Daily Physical Activity page also has a list of great activities for you to choose from, and Stef has a lot of  activities and previous lessons on her blog you can revisit.

Learning Goal: I can expand my vocabulary.

First, click on the link to read the passage from ‘Donovan’s Word Jar’ by Monalisa De Gross. You can also listen to it.

A passage from Donovan’s Word Jar-converted (1)

Next, Good readers have a great vocabulary, which means they know and understand the meaning of lots of different words.

Choose 3 words from the text that are new, unusual or different to you.

Write the words down, and what you think each one means.

Then, look up what each word means in a dictionary, and write down its meaning.

If you don’t have a dictionary at home, you can click on this link for an online dictionary.

Finally, write a short summary of the text.

Don’t forget to some personal reading for 20 minutes.

Learning Goal: I can include metaphors and similes in my writing.

First, watch the video below on metaphors and similes and/or read the text below.

A simile is a comparison between two different things using ‘like’ or ‘as’.

Ex. The sun was like a yellow marble in the sky.

She has been busy as a bee.

 

A metaphor is an expression that is used to compare two different things. Metaphors have no literal meaning.

Ex. Time is money (meaning is that time is precious).

 

Next, draw yourself in the middle of the page.

 

Then, come up with 5 or more similes and metaphors about yourself and write them down in your exercise book.

Ex.

My eyes are as blue as the ocean.

 

Finally, see if you can find 1 metaphor from the picture below and post your answer

You can find more examples of similes and metaphors by reading the book  “skin like milk hair of silk’ on Epic

Don’t forget to ask your teacher for your class code.

Mindfulness, RFL Term 4 2021

Monday 25/10/21 – Mindfulness

Learning Goal: I can set a goal.

Today, as a part of our preparation for returning to on site learning  we are going to revisit one of our previous mindfulness activities, The Power of Yet!

Everyone is different and sometimes things feel easy to learn, but sometimes learning can be a challenge! That’s where the power of yet comes in! If there is something you would like to achieve, think about how you can work towards improving. 

Get a piece of paper or a page in your book and write these things down:

First, list one thing that felt easy for you to learn. This could be something that came naturally to you and you don’t remember having to really work at, like walking, talking, riding a bike or catching a ball!

Next, list one thing that was challenging for you to learn, but that you have improved at through practising or getting help. This could be a skill like riding a bike, or something you have worked on at school, like a skip counting pattern.

Then, list one thing that you haven’t quite learnt yet. Think about something that you would like to practise more to get better at, would like to get help with, or that you would like to try for the first time.

Finally, focus on the third thing you wrote down, the thing that you haven’t quite learnt yet. Visualise yourself doing it! How do you imagine yourself getting better at it? Is someone helping you, are you practising regularly? 

Draw yourself achieving this goal. Show how you would feel when you improve!

Creative Challenge, RFL Term 4 2021

Monday 25/10/21 – Creative Challenge

Learning Goal: I can select a creative challenge. 

As we prepare to return to on site learning we would like you to create something wonderful you would like to share with the class. 

First, click on the link to see all the creative challenges we’ve posted on the 3/4 blog this year.

Next, select one you haven’t done, or would like to repeat. I really liked the ones where you made a mask, or something you could wear. What about you?

Then, complete the creative challenge you have selected.

Finally, don’t forget to share a picture with your teacher via OneNote. Your teacher will then be able to share this with your class when we return to on site learning. Please note, at this stage we are not allowed to bring these sort of things to school.

Remember: We’d like to see your creations when you return to school so please post a picture on the OneNote.

To finish the day, don’t forget to move around.

For example, you may want to play the Bean Bag Throw Challenge. You need to collect the beanbag and return to the throwing line before throwing again. How many times can you throw a beanbag into a hoop in 60 seconds? In 5 minutes? In 10 minutes?

If you don’t have a beanbag/hoop, use a rolled up pair of socks and a washing basket instead! Play with a family member! Take turns to throw and collect the beanbag. How many points can you score as a team?

Bean Bags (or a rolled up pair of socks) are a super versatile toy. What other games, challenges or activities can you come up with ?

The 3/4 Daily Physical Activity page also has a list of great activities for you to choose from, and Stef has a lot of  activities and previous lessons on her blog you can revisit.

Yelling by Taylor Leong on Dribbble

Good morning 3/4s. This week we’ve had fun with looking at some of the weird and wonderful International Days Of …

Did you manage to count all your buttons during yesterday’s  Count Your Buttons Day?

While these days are fun, today is Caps Lock Day, Nut Day and even Smart is Cool Day, there are days, and months, that serve the purpose of making us aware of important issues or concerns around the world.

For example, as well as being Black Cat Awareness Month and Pizza Month, October is also Fire Prevention Month and Cyber Security Awareness Month. Both issues we should be educating ourselves about.

Did you know this Saturday is Make A Difference Day! It was created to help encourage us to take at least one day a year to try to make a difference in the world. It could be a big act or some simple, what can you do to make a difference?

You 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.
