READING

Read a book with a parent/carer. Look for these sight words… the, can, see, I, look, here.

WRITING

Make your own sight word book called “We went to…”. Make a title page for your story. Don’t forget to add illustrations that match your sentences.

PHONICS

Choose a letter and design a party with things that begin with that letter. (i.e. S – Sausage sizzle, sauce, salsa, singing, seashells). Draw a picture of your party. Can you label your pictures?

If you can, send a photo of the picture to your teacher.

NUMBER: 7/ 8 Warm Up – More or Less. Get a deck of cards. Remove picture cards. Place the pile in the centre and with a sibling or parent, turn over one card each from the pile. Whoever has the higher number wins the round.

Practise counting to 30

Number Hunt – Find 3 cans/ packets of food in your pantry. Count the number of letters in the name of each item. Which item has the least amount of letters?

Represent the number 7 (17) in 4 different ways using the template as an example.

Bounce a ball 8 (or 18) times. Throw it to a parent or sibling 8 (18) times.

Count how many spoons you have in your cutlery drawer. Do you have more spoons or more forks?

Place 8 (18) coloured pegs on a piece of

card. Can you use a different colour to show more than 8 (18)? Less than 8 (18)?

Draw a continuous line with loops and

overlaps then shade the closed areas. You could also do this on the computer using the Paint program. For example:

SCIENCE – OBJECTS/MATERIALS/PROPERTIES

Revise what material objects are made from and what the properties of those materials are.

Focus on the properties of waterproof (the water just slides off, water doesn’t sink in), flexible (the shape of the object can change without breaking it, bendy), and durable (lasts a long time, can handle being treated roughly).

Find some objects around home to show these different properties e.g. plastic bottle, straw, paper, fabric, leaves, stick, aluminium foil, soft toys, etc. Test them to see if they are waterproof, flexible and durable.

Thursday PHONICS

Pour a small amount of Lego into a bowl. Count out 8 (18) pieces. Put them back in the bowl counting backwards from 8 (18).

Explain the concept of open and closed shapes. Think of a line is a ‘fence’. Ask your child to draw a long loopy line, then identify which places would be best to place animals to ensure they could not wander away. Any spaces that enclose the animals securely are closed shapes, and any that do not are open shapes. For example:

PE

Practice kicking a ball with a family member.

PATTERNS/ SHAPE/ MEASUREMENT: Warm Up – Jack Hartmann ‘Name the Shape’

Practise counting to 30

Go on a shape hunt in your house. Draw three shapes that you find. Ask an adult to help you write the names of the shapes. How many of each shape did you find?

Can you draw a picture using only those shapes?

Draw some looped/overlapping lines on paper, a whiteboard or in the sand. Describe the lines you have drawn (e.g. It is a long, thin, loopy, purple line). Identify the open and closed shapes in their drawing. Now can you erase the open line segments and use your imagination to create a picture (e.g. I can see a plane flying over three lakes.)?

HASS

Additional Information: ENGLISH: If you have limited access to children’s stories there is a great variety of read aloud stories available YouTube. For example: The Very Hungry Bear

series, Pig the Pug series, and traditional fairy tales. If your child has access to a computer or tablet there are a variety of both free and paid online

programs for teacher reading. These include.

Reading Eggs, Teach your monster to read, Little Learners Love Literacy App (Level 1 free), Decodable readers online.

You can practice sight words using Spelling City. Feel free to write these words on pieces of card at home to play games such as snap, memory or go fish.

MATHS: Every day, you should count as far as you can. Can you count further than yesterday? Each day look at the days of the week – what is the day

today? What was yesterday? What will tomorrow be?

If you feel your child needs some extension work, please head to https://www.123homeschool4me.com/ or https://education.qld.gov.au/curriculum/learning-at-home for further ideas.
