Learning Intention: We are learning to compare and contrast (similar and different) ideas in a non-fiction text. 

Success Criteria: I can:

• Select two ideas in the text to compare and contrast.
• Talk about how these two ideas are the same.
• Talk about how these two ideas are different.
•  Record the similarities.
•  Record the differences.

Wushka reading task:  30 – 40 mins:

1. Sign into Wushka https://wushka.com.au/login
2. Select one of the five Wushka Non Fiction book that your teacher has set for you in Reading Groups (Cats, Rabbits, Horses & Lizards). It is in your levelled library. Only read one book of these assigned books each day. Please note that the books are the same as last week. (As we are looking at a different comprehension strategy it is useful to read familiar books, so the children can concentrate on the new strategy, rather than unfamiliar words or ideas.)
3. Read the text.
4. Talk to your parent about how two ideas in the text are similar.
5. Talk to your parent about how these two ideas are different.

📝 Spelling Sounds~Write words 📝  (20 minutes)

Learning Intention: We are learning to say the sounds and write the words.

Success Criteria – I can:

• Read the word carefully – ‘say the sounds and read the word’.
• Cover the word.
• Carefully ‘say the sounds and write the word’. 
• Check that I have written the word correctly. (Give it a ‘tick’ if it’s correct)
• Go back and try to write the word again if it is incorrect.
• Complete as many words as I can in 20 minutes, remembering to write neatly.

This is a time for your child to check in, say hello to their classmates and ask any questions about the activities for the day.

We will leave the meeting open for a further 30 mins for children to work with the teacher or ask questions.

🔢Maths🔢 – 30 minutes

Learning Intention: We are learning to understand multiplication as equal groups, arrays, repeated addition and skip counting and practice these strategies in games. 

Success Criteria – I can:

• Understand how to ‘read’ a multiplication sum. (3 x 4 = 12, “3 groups of 4 is 12”)
• Make equal groups or arrays to match a multiplication sum.
• Write the repeated addition sum to match the sum.
• Skip count to work out the answer.
• Understand that the numbers in a multiplication sum can be ‘swapped over’ ( eg:3 x 4 = 4 x 3) and use ‘commutative property’ to help me work out the answer. (Know one, know the other)
