Weeks 9 & 10

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 in a venn diagram.
  • Record the differences in a venn diagram.

Independent Reading 15 mins:

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. Think about two ideas to compare that are on the same page, or over two pages so you can flick between the two.
  5. Talk to your parent about how two ideas in the text are similar. Record these on a venn diagram.
  6. Talk to your parent about how these two ideas are different. Record these on a venn diagram

**Please note this task will be explained in the 9.00 am Webex.

🔢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)
