Learning Task:Read the following problem to your child:

● Mother Cat is making mittens for her three cold kittens. It takes two balls of wool tomake mittens for one kitten. How many balls of wool will Mother Cat need to makemittens for three little kittens?

If one ball of wool costs $2, how much money will the three sets of mittens cost tomake?

● Use either diagrams or concrete materials, to solve how many balls of wool mother catwill need and how much the mittens will cost.

● We have been using repeated addition in classes lately. Can your child use this strategy tohelp them today?

PLEASE NOTE: Remind students:

Gembrook Primary School Remote Learning Tasks

● If the suffix starts with a vowel like the i in ing we drop the e at the end of the baseword!

● Our time travelling ed makes three sounds for us so even though it sounds like“jumpt’ we always add a ‘ed’ for past tense. See the video below if you needsupport for this part of the lesson.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=msJIy_f_Xsw&list=RDDsd0eFgU0m8&start_radio=1

● You could ask a family member to draw their own monsters too.

● Compare both of your artworks to see what similar features you have on your monster

artworks. (If you are onsite compare with a friend.)

Rhyme 1: Martian

When making a Martian, it is said, always start by making his head.

Don’t give him hair on top of his head, give him a shiny, round helmet that’s red.

Look at his eyes, so scary and mean, since he’s from Mars, they must be green.

Right by his nose his eyeballs hide, because he just happens to be cross-eyed.

Gembrook Primary School Remote Learning Tasks

Just look at his nose, can you imagine that! It has three holes and it’s really flat.

His mouth is crooked with lots of teeth, jagged on top and flat underneath.

Not only is his neck double-jointed, but look at his ears-they’re pointed.

I’m sure he has a body like you and me, but a Martian space suit is all you see.

Now, remember Martians are not to be feared, they’re not really dangerous, they just look kind of

weird!

Rhyme 2: Monster

When you draw a monster it is said, you always begin with his head.

He’ll be able to see when he flies, if we draw two bright eyes.

To tell which way the cold wind blows, our monster will need a great big nose.

Look to the north and look to the south, now we can give our monster a mouth.

Some up above and some beneath, our monster has lots of teeth.

Now, under his chin, let's just check, that's where we should put his neck.

So he won’t be tispy-toddy, let’s give him a polka-dot body.

If he really, really begs, I guess we could give him legs.

To make our monster nice and neat, we’ll have to teach ium to wipe his feet.

Remember you may like to take a photo of your artwork.
