Earlier this term we learnt about angles and practised identifying 3 different types of angles.
First, draw up a table like the one below.
Next, go around your house and look for different types of angles.
Finally, draw and write them in your table. There is an example to show you (you don’t need to include this example in your table, but you can if you want).
First, write down 3 people that you are thankful/grateful for, 2 things that you are thankful/grateful for and 1 place that you are thankful/grateful for. Think about the reasons why you are grateful for these people, things or places.
Next, draw something beautiful you saw this week and that you are thankful for.
Finally, if you are looking for some follow up mindfulness activities, check out the following pages on the MPPS mindfulness blog:
Hi 3/4s, nice to see such positive feedback for Monday’s lessons. Many of you were particularly excited by the writing task. Such interesting prompts, we look forward to reading what you came up with.
Today there is no whole class meeting, but our teacher’s Webex room will be open if you want to pop in to ask a question or have a chat!
For the next three days, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday:
All students are to join their small group Webex meeting. If you can’t join the group at that time, please let your teacher know!
In class we have been producing persuasive texts. Today you will write a persuasive letter to a leprechaun who has the power to grant you three wishes.
First, think about if you had three wishes, what would you wish for and record them.
Next, write a letter to a leprechaun explaining why you think he/she should grant you each of your wishes.
Finally, edit and revise your work!
Remember, don’t forget the following;
Start your letter by introducing yourself
Use a new paragraph to explain each wish and why you think it is a good wish.
Today you will be coming up with your own design for your perfect treehouse. If you get a chance, go outside or go for a walk and look up into the treetops for inspiration!
First… watch the video to hear the story “Everything You Need For A Treehouse”
Next…draw a detailed design of your own dream treehouse.
Include:
Features
Materials that it would be made out of
How will people get in and out
Are there moving parts?
What makes it special
Then… see if you can make a simple model using things you have at home!
You could use:
Sticks, leaves or other things from your yard (or that you find on a walk)
