4/5/6 Morning Webex Session today 9:15 – 12:30.
Waiting for your webex to begin? Complete your 15 mins read to self of your required Biographical text.
We are learning to summarise and highlight important moments in a text.
We can:
- Listen and read our biographical texts
- Identify the main ideas and supporting details of a chapter.
- Complete chapter review summaries at the end of a chapter.
- Demonstrate our strong understanding of the texts we read in summary form.
Today your teacher will read a chapter of the class text hope in a ballet shoe. Once you have heard the story you complete the proforma here.
10am – 
- I can participate and collaborate as part of a team.
- I can plan a piece of writing with other students.
- I can research information about a country and paraphrase information into my own words.
- I can include features of an information report; graphs, labelled pictures, subheadings, diagrams, etc
- I can complete my allocated tasks on my own.
Before today’s classroom WebEx, print off today’s planner OR write the subheadings listed on the planner in your Homework book.

Activity: Part 1: Planning A Group Information Report
** You will be unable to complete this task if you do not attend your classroom Webex meeting today. If you can’t join the Webex today please let your teacher know, so they can catch up later (we can help you, so you don’t miss out on all the fun). **
Today in our WebEx meeting, we will break up into groups and move into Breakout Rooms to discuss and decide on:
a) What country your group is going to write your Information Report on.
b) Which subheadings each person is going to research and write about. (Each person will complete three subheadings each in total.)

Now that your group has completed the required planning, you cant start researching your subheadings.
Independent Writing Time – Researching your subheadings:
- Write 3 to 4 facts for each subheading on your planner or in your Homework book.
Play a game of Hit The Coordinate – a great game to practice your (X, Y) coordinates on a cartesian plane. Score points by clicking the correct coordinate.
The X-axis coordinate is always first (like in the alphabet) and is always the horizontal axis.
The Y-axis coordinate is always the second number in the pair, and is always the vertical axis (because the Y letter has that little vertical up-down part).
If you’re not super confident with xy coordinates yet, this is a great place to start practicing them.
Learning intention:
We are learning to follow a series of coordinate instructions to draw a picture.
We can:
- Locate alpha-numeric coordinates (eg: B5) or cartesian xy coordinates (2, -4) on a set of axis.
- Follow a sequence of instructions
- Tick/indicate which instructions in the sequence have been completed, to avoid confusion
Today’s Activity: Following coordinate instructions to draw a picture.
Today you have 2 choices of coordinate instructions to follow:
Alphanumeric Coordinate Mystery Picture
OR
Cartesian XY coordinate Mystery Picture
Please scroll down to the relevant instructions for your choice
Alphanumeric Coordinate Mystery Picture (Grade 4 students)
Well done, you have selected the alphanumeric coordinate drawing!
To complete this task, you will need to rule up your book like this,
A ß—————————à M
1 – 20 (vertically)
Or download and print this document (or look at the required grid size here too)
Here are your instructions – good luck!
The colour-key to use in the boxes, to complete the picture, is at the top.
Don’t forget to send a photo to your teacher.

Cartesian XY Coordinate Mystery Picture (Grade 5 & 6 students)
Congratulations! You have selected the extra challenge of practicing cartesian or XY coordinates!
To complete this task you will need to rule up your book like this.
-14 ———————– x axis ————————————- +14
+20
