I am learning to be kind to others
I know I can do it when I can recognise an opportunity to be kind to others
Today you’re going to do a random act of kindness for someone.
This means being kind to someone for no particular reason.
Write or draw a plan of what you want to do.
Complete the random act of kindness.
Once you’ve completed the random act of kindness write down how it made you feel.
Here is a great clip to get you motivated:
I am learning to identify facts about myself .
I know I can do it when I can write sentences containing facts about myself.
You now know so much about Information Texts now and how to tell a fact from an opinion.
A fact is something that is true. For example: A Dog has a tail.
An opinion is how you feel about something. For example: I love dogs, they are my favourite animal.
Now that you are an expert on facts, today you are going to write some facts about yourself.
Using the example below as a guide, write some facts about yourself. You can do it in full sentences or dot points.
Draw a picture of yourself once you have finished your writing.
Example:
Facts About Me
My name is Michelle. I live in Greensborough. My favourite food is dumplings. I live with my dog Ravioli, and we like to walk together. I come from Tasmania and my best friends name is Jarrah. Spring is my favourite season because I like the sunshine and it is not too hot. My parents are farmers and I have 2 nephews and 3 nieces.
Don’t forget to:
I am learning to understand and explain what an informative or non-fiction text is.
I know I can do it when I can explain what an informative or non-fiction text is.
Last week you learned all about facts and opinions.
This week you are going to use that information to help you understand what INFORMATIVE or NON-FICTION texts are.
Watch the video below about informative texts. ↓↓↓
Think about the following questions and write a few sentences to explain what informative texts are.
Where might you see or use them?
Why are they important?
For example:
An informative text tells us real information and facts.
We may use an informative text to learn about animals, people and many, many other topics .
An information text teaches us about a topic.
I am learning the Spalding Rules.
I know I can do it when I can match the rule to a word.
Every Friday we will be focusing on a new Spalding rule.
Today we will be learning about rule 5.
In the photo below, you can see some words that follow rule 5. We mark rule 5 by using our red pencil to write ‘r.5’ next to the word.
Using the words below, mark them correctly as following rule 5.
Don’t forget:
Rule 5 Words:
bi cy cle
try
type
re ply
Ju ly
Once you have marked each word as following rule 5, write each word into a meaningful sentence in your Journal. Remember to use a full stop and a capital letter to signal the beginning and the end of your sentence.
I am learning to observe and identify mini beasts in their natural environment.
I know I can do it when I have found and observed mini beasts in their natural habitat.
Last week you learnt the difference between living things and non-living things. This week, you are going to search for some living things and observe them in their natural habitats.
A habitat is the environment that an animal or mini beast lives in. It will need to have all of the things that the mini beast needs to survive such as water, food, shelter and space. To learn more about habitats, watch the video below. ↓↓↓
Today you will need to go searching for some mini beasts in your garden or in a park near your house (you might like to take a magnifying glass with you to spot some little critters). To record the mini beasts that you see, you will need to create a tally. You will use this in your maths session tomorrow.
Watch the video below to learn about using tally marks to record information.
Use a table like the one below to record how many mini beasts that you spot in your yard. See if you can find at least one of each mini beast.
| Bees | Butterflies | Snails | Spiders | Other Mini Beasts |
Choose one of the mini beasts that you found and draw a detailed picture of them in their habitat. Label the different things in their habitat that they need to survive (include their food, water, shelter and space).
Please see the following rubric as a marking guide.

These sorts of names are called proper nouns.
We want you to think about your school holidays again. Can you write some words that fit into Rule 26?
For example:
Make a list of 10 to 15 words that fit into rule 26.
Do not forget to mark your words the same as the photo below:
