Stage 2, Week 10

PDHPE – Health, Wellbeing and RelationshipsWALT: To explain and uses strategies to develop persistence

WILF: I can explain what persistence is. I can explain the importance of being persistent. I can use strategies to be persistent in times of challenges.

Read the following information on persistence.

You’re at home trying to complete your homework. You think back to earlier in the day where your teacher said something about fractions or was it multiplication. You look at your work and it makes absolutely no sense. It may as well be in a different language. You check the cover of the book to see if you might be reading it upside-down. You didn't. You wish you had focused a bit better in class today. After a minute of trying to make sense of it, you stop to consider the situation – should you keep just write any answer down? Should you ask a family member for help? Should you give up on the homework and prepare for the consequences later?

We make decisions like this all the time. How much effort should we spend on something? We have only so much time and energy in the day. Five minutes staring at your homework is five minutes taken away from reading a book or playing with your friends. In any given situation, you must decide how hard to try.

There is big link between persistence and success, decisions about effort are particularly important in childhood. Persistence is defined as the fact of continuing in something despite of difficulty of it.

Here are 5 things you can try to help you persist in times of struggles:1. Positive self-talk: encourage yourself by saying things like "you can do it!"2. Think about other people you have seen be persistent: Think of a time when

your parents struggled to open a can of tomatoes, your sibling struggled to understand THEIR homework, or your puppy struggled to jump on the couch. How did they keep going without giving up?

3. Don't be afraid of making mistakes: mistakes are the best way to learn.4. Ask someone for help.5. Keep practicing!

Choose between one of the activities below to build your persistence. Then in your book, write a sentence why it is important to be persistent.

1. Draw an elephant using your non-writing hand.2. Write a sentence about dinosaurs without using the letter 'd'.


Tuesday - Rats

WALT: To recognise the importance of and use interesting story starters

WILF: I can explain why stories need interesting starters. I can identify some ways authors make the beginning of stories interesting. I can do this in my writing.

Re-read the text 'Rats' and complete the following activities:1. Highlight the first two sentences. Write why you think this is a

unique story starter.2. In your book, write why you think it is important to have a unique

story starter?3. Do you think the author of 'Rats' used an interesting story starter?

Why/why not?4. Think of a recent event from your life, e.g. going to visit a family

member. Identify something unique about it (e.g. the dog ate the meat that was waiting to be barbecued). Then create an interesting story starter.

5. Complete question 4, two more times.

English Spelling

Tuesday: activities to be completed in your workbook.

Complete the following activities:

• Look, Cover, Write, Check.• The Sentence a Day rule is to write in past tense. Many verbs

• Select 5 words and draw a picture for each one.

Stage 2, Week 10

History: First FleetWALT: To understand the experiences on the First FleetWILF: I can explain what life was like on one of the ships on the First Fleet. I can explain the purpose of the ships of the First Fleet.

Read the following information on HMS Sirius. Highlight the important information and then create a report (in your own words) of the ship. In your workbook, write an information report on the HMS Sirius.

HMS Sirius- Naval shipThe flagship of the First Fleet, HMS Sirius was fitted out as an armed storeship with 20 guns. It was required to carry personnel for the penal settlement, embarking some 136 seamen, marines and officers, as well as her share of provisions and stores for Botany Bay. Sirius was selected over other purpose-built warships because of its storage capacity.

From the beginning of the voyage Sirius was so heavily loaded with provisions for the long voyage that it sailed poorly. It carried, among other things, four boats and even the ship’s surgeon’s piano. In a letter to his mother midshipman, Daniel Southwell (1787) described the extra provisions that were added to Sirius at the Cape of Good Hope:

'Were you to take a view of our ship below you would be apt to take it for a livery stable of note … Among the stock are many of the feathered kind, and also plants of various sorts. These all together will take up much room, and the ship is lumber’d. The people, considering the number, are much crouded, for the cattle are to occupy a deck which till now was theirs…'

It made only one successful voyage after the First Fleet, travelling to the Cape of Good Hope for supplies in October 1788. After being wrecked on a reef off Norfolk Island on 19 March 1790, the remnants of Sirius’s hull finally disappeared beneath the ocean two years later.


Wednesday: Will Wonders Never Cease? Martians

Attack New York

WALT: To identify descriptive techniques.

WILF: I can read and understand the definition of personification. I can find examples of personification in the text. I can create my own examples of personification.

Read the text ‘Will wonders never cease? Martians attack New York’ and complete the worksheet on the following page.

On the following pages are your spelling words. Complete the following

activities:• Look, Cover, Write, Check.• Create 2 sentences using your spelling words and Sentence a Day

rule.• Complete editing sheet• Create a tongue twister using your words.

BLAST OFF

Creating section headings Information texts are often divided into sections, each with its own heading. Headings should:

• relate the main idea of the section• be brief (one to five words is ideal)• be catchy (and keep the same tone or style as

the rest of the text).

Read the following paragraphs from ‘Will Wonders Never Cease? Martians Attack New York’ then work through the table to come up with a heading for each paragraph that meets the criteria mentioned above.

Paragraph 1The War of the Worlds is a classic science fiction story about Martians invading Earth. It’s been made into movies and TV shows, but it was an American radio play that caused the most drama. Orson Welles produced the play in 1938. To make it realistic he included news reports of a Martian attack. The made-up reports described aliens firing death-ray guns, and machines attacking New York City.

Paragraph 2It turned out the reports were a bit too realistic. Many people listening to their radios thought Martians really were attacking. The people ran out of their homes to escape and tried to flee the cities. Newspapers later claimed over a million people across America panicked.

The Vital Roles in Pollination

Just lilte actors in a play, each part of the flower has a role to play. The.u parts are vital and pollination 'NOuldn't be able to talte place without any one of these.

The style is above the ovary and its job is to hold up the stigma. The style, ovary and stigma all malr:e up the female part of the flower, which is called the 'carpel' or 'pistil'.

Style

Recap

Plants produce seeds in order to reproduce. To malte a sud a flower must be pollinated.

PoUen 1$ made by the male part of the plant, which is called the stamen. The pollen needs to get to the female part of the plant, which is called the stigma. Most plants cannot pollinate themselvu, but a large amount of orchids can. What might be on advantage of self·pollination? ►

The pollen must then travel from one plant to another plant of the same species (e.g. from a rose to a rose or from a daffodil to a daffodil). This is called cross-pollination.

Petal

lt Is the petal's job to attract the insects towards the flower.

Interestingly, the colours that we su are not the same as the colourt that the insects see. Insects su in ultraviolet, which is a type of light which is out.side thee rangce of what human eyes can see.

Stigma

The stigma's job is to collect the pollen from other plants when insects brush by it. It has adapted to catch the pollen in different ways e.g. some stigma have tiny hairs on them to coll«t the pollen. rt is on the stigma that growing process first begins.

Filament

The filament's role is to hold up the anther. [J the anther was very low down, then insects might not be able to collect that flower's pollen. What would happen if pollen was harder for insects to collect?

Ovary

It is the ovary's job to hold the ovules and to keep them safe until the flower gets pollinated.

The Pollination Process

l. Thi!! flower petal's bright colours an.d fragrant scents attract insects.

2. The insect arrives on the flower to collect nectar. This nectar is a sweet liquid which maltes perfect insect food.

As the insect is gathering the nectar, it rubs against the anthers, which rub pollen onto the insect.

4. After the insect is done feeding on the flower's nectar, it gets hungry and gets attracted by another flower· s bright colours.

Anther

The role of the anther is to produce the poHen. It is important that this pollen is then carried to another plant.

Which part of the plant would the pollen need to be taken to?

Insects in Pollination

Insects don't pollinate on purpose; it's just something that happens as they collect nectar from flowers to feed on. Insects are incredibfy important when it comes to pollination. Here are some facts to prove it:

84% of crops in Europe are pollinated by insects. This is worth El2.6 billion a year.

Honey bees account for 80% of all in.sect pollination.

Nearly all chocolate relies on midges pollinating the cocoa plant, which might mali:e them seem slightly less ann.oying!

The Pollination Process

S. As the insect feeds on. the nectar in this new flower, the pollen stuck to the insect from the first flower rubs off onto the female parts of the second flower (the stigma).

6. Part of this pollen travels down the style and then into the ovary.

7. The tiny piece of pollen joins onto an ovule in the ovary. The plant has ... now been fertilised. "'

8. The ovary of the flower turns into seeds which will then be dispersed so that new plants will be able to grow somewhere e{se.

Wind Pollination

While some p{ant.s use insects to help them transport their pollen, others rely on wind. These plants are usually l�s colourful as they do not need to attract insects. The wind carries pollen from one plant to another. Rice is an example of a wind-pollinating plant.

This is a less coordinated way of pollinating, as it relies on a huge lill amounts of pollen being blown in any direction, depending on the wind. "

Wind pollinating plants can cause some people to experience hay fever during the spring and summer due to the large amounts of polfen in the air.

Pollination in Action

We are going to do an activity to show how pollination wor�s.

On your tables you have a paper bag wtth a large picture of a flower on the front with cheese puffs inside.

A�er you've washed your hands thoroughly go and collect some chee.se • puffs from the bag on another table (ma�e sure you save some for

everyone else). A�er you've eaten them don't wipe your hands or Helt your fingers, tempting though it may be!

Go to a bag on another table and wipe your hands on the pretty flower on the front of the bag.

Those yellowy smears left behind represent pollination!

Self Pollination

Some plants self-pollinate. They transfer the pollen grains from the anther to the stigma on the same flower. These plants do not need a

pollinator, such as an insect, in order to reproduce.

Only a few plants selfpoltinate. Examples include peanuts, orchids, peas and sunflowers.
