Good morning everybody and to our relief teacher for the day.  I am sorry but I am unwell and won’t be in today but I will definitely be in tomorrow for your Space Constructions.  Remember to bring in all your materials for tomorrow morning’s constructions and we will be starting at 9:00 for any parents who would like to be involved.  🙂

Work for Today:

9-11  Students go to LIBRARY and then SPORT

After recess:

WRITING:  Students will be continuing their vocab gathering and idea grabbing by watching the animation PLANETS. (Click on the link to watch).  They need to continue using their A3 folded sheets (on table near Purple Planet Eaters…. near the window) which were divided into 12 blocks.  In each as they watch they write the name of the planet, then write down as many adjectives or similes as they can think of to describe that planet.  Or a simple phrase…. then draw a quick picture to fix it in their mind.  [This activity could take a while but guide with colours, shapes, textures, feelings words….]  We have done the first 2 planets, see how many you can do but if it takes too long, limit it to another 4.  You will see their names written below the film in short notes.

SPACE-CRAFT CONSTRUCTION PLANNERS – please have the last few finish their planners (their planners are on my desk – about 5 needing labels etc.  Then check that RYAN has done his – he took his home or needs to start again before anything else.  Others who took them home were the 4 on choir camp – Arley, William, Maia and Luca G.

SPELLING CONTRACTS – students know how to conduct this activity – independently.

LUNCH   – Usually I hold WRITERS CIRCLE in my room at lunch.  Please could you put a note outside on the door that it is cancelled for today.  Sorry! 🙁

After lunch:

U.S.S.R. – only reading except for 2 groups of 3 students who are working on special journalist projects: podcast team and photos of garden planting team.

INQUIRY AND READING – whole class activity

Please download these sheets and one is an information sheet for the teacher to guide the task.  Students will be summarising their learning about day and night and then as a class read and compare normal science with Dreamtime story – When the Snake bites the Sun.

Have a good day and remind students to bring in materials for tomorrow’s constructions.
