Morning Literacy

We are learning to: use research to create informative texts.

I know I have been successful when I can:

* Gather information from a range of sources * Use that factual information to inform my writing

* Create multimodal texts that informs my audience

Writing:

We are learning about life in England in the 1780’s. Read the below text titled Monday: English.

Answer the following questions (you will need to do some additional research).

research:

* What made life difficult at

this time?

* Why was there so much

unemployment at this time?

* Why was there so much

Word Work: Settlement Use the below template to complete your daily word study. See the completed Word Word WAGOLL of Seesaw for guidance.

Reading Activity:

Read for 20-30 minutes. Record the pages you have read (example: The Magic Finger, pgs 24-47). Choose one activity to complete from the Guided Reading Grid below.

activity titled The Journey of the First Fleet.

The ships needed to travel a long way and they could not just ‘turn back’ if they had forgotten something, so they had to take everything they thought they would for the journey AND for when they reached Australia.

Use:

*The below map title The Route of the First Fleet,

*The First Fleet information page found on Seesaw and

* The supply list of the First Fleet found below (and in the SeeSaw activity)

To answer the following questions:

* What is the most surprising thing the First Fleet took with them? Why did it surprise you?

*If you were packing for the First Fleet, what do you think are the most important things to take with you on the journey? Create a list of 10 essential items that you

Take notes as you go so you are able to answer the following questions:

* What was life like in England in the 1700’s?

* How many ships transported convicts as part of the First Fleet and what were their names?

* What were the other ships used for and how many of them were there?

* Who was the commander chosen to lead the colony?

* What do you think life would have been like aboard those ships?

We are learning to: collect, record, represent and analyse data.


*Use effective recording methods to collect data

*Articulate the importance of collecting and representing data

*Create open-ended questions to collect information

Mathematics Activity:

Watch BTN video (Census): https://www.abc.net.au/btn/classroom/census/10533902

Discuss with a family member the importance of a census and why surveys are used.

The national census is fast approaching and Miss Baxter would like to collect data about the families at MGPS. She needs your help!



*Use mathematical terminology when explaining data


*Articulate the importance of collecting and representing data


Watch BTN video (World Statistics Day):

https://www.abc.net.au/btn/classroom/world-statistics-day/12769384

Answer questions:

-What words do you associate with data?

-What is one thing that the video has taught you?

-Why is it better to have a larger sample size?

-What are the horizontal and vertical sides of a graph called?

-Why is it important that data is accurate and reliable?




*Make simple statements articulating the patterns and results of the data

*Display collected and given data on a column or bar graph


Watch/Read: Tally O’Malley by Stuart Murphy

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZcGb5u2qigY

Answer questions:

-Why is it more efficient to use tally marks when collecting data?

-What problems could you encounter if you used other data collection methods?

Take 30 random items out of your pantry at home. Make sure you clean it up when you are finished!

Thursday, 120 customers came in. On Friday, he only had 13 customers. How many customers entered the store in total?




*Make simple statements articulating the patterns and results of the data

*Display collected and given data on a column or bar graph


Using the data you collected in yesterday’s lesson, create a column or bar graph.

See SeeSaw for a WAGOLL of a graph.

Don't forget to:

-use a ruler

-include a title

-label the x and y axis

We are learning to: create word and number problems.


*Use mathematical terminology linked to multiplication and division

*Use my knowledge of multiplication and division to turn a number equation into a word problem


Practice your multiplication skills! Roll 2 dice and multiply the numbers. Create a word problem to match the number equation.

For example:

I rolled a 3 and a 6.

3 x 6 = 18

Sarah had 3 cups with 6 pens in each cup. How many pens did she have altogether?

Extension: Try creating division word problems!

To gather accurate and detailed information about families, Which questions would you ask?

Create 10 possible questions that could be included in a survey. Try to include as many open-ended questions as possible. Open-ended questions gather the most information!

Example questions:

-Which languages are spoken at home?

-Do any of the children in the household play an out of school sport? If so, What are these sports?

Game:

Play ‘Race to 100’ with a family member.

(Same rules as the class game).

Tell a family member why you think data collection and graphing is important.

Make a list of 5 situations where data needs to be collected. For each situation, write a sentence explaining why you think the data collection is important.

Game:

Play ‘Card Towers’ with a family member. (2 players)

1. Each player receives 10 playing cards.

2. Each player drops one card at the same time.

3. The first person to multiply the numbers on the cards wins both cards.

4. The person with the most cards at the end of the game wins.

Collect data using tally marks on how many items in the pantry were in:

-cans

-cardboard boxes

-bags

-containers

-bottles or jars

-other

Game:

Play ‘Largest Number Draw’ with a family member.

1. Players get dealt 4 cards in each round.

2. Players arrange the cards to make the largest possible number.

3. The player with the largest number gets to keep all the cards.

4. The person with the most cards at the end of the game wins.

If you have access to a printer, you can print grid paper to make it easier for you: https://www.hand2mind.com/media/contentmanager/content/gridpaper.pdf or use the grid paper below.

Think about the question: What information can we gather from this graph?

Write 2 literal and 2 inferential statements about the data.

For example,

Literal: There are 16 cans in the pantry and that is the most popular food type.

Inferential: The family like to eat cereal because there are 4 boxes of cereal. *Upload today’s maths work to Seesaw.

Game:

Play ‘SNAP’ with a family member. Instead of waiting for a number to be the same, the first player to add the numbers gets snap.

These word problems will be used when planning our MGPS Maths Olympics.

Integrated Unit:

(Geography)

Using the map of the Journey of the First Fleet AND the information in the information sheet, on the black map below (Wednesday: Integrated Unit, Geography) create your own map that shows the journey the First Fleet took. At each place the ships stopped, annotate your maps with the details about why they were there/what happened at that location.

Colour in the map to show the oceans and land.

It is important that you keep this map, as we will be coming back and adding to it in the future.

*If you would like to take a photo of your completed map and upload this to Seesaw, your teacher would love to see it*

Monday English:

This term we will be learning about Australian History and Geography. This includes the First Fleet and the impact it had on First Nations people.

Two hundred years ago very few people in England lived happy and comfortable lives. Times were harsh and punishments for any crimes were severe. Many people convicted of crimes, sometimes quite minor, were transported to NSW. These people were known as convicts. Convicts with certain skills were very useful in starting the new colony.

Topic Specific Vocabulary: As you come across the below words through our word work this week, complete the word study template for each one. You will need to use the context clues in the text and a dictionary (or online search) to fill in their definitions. If you see any other words you don’t know, add them to our list.
