HOMEWORK

MATHS

Complete maths puzzle by tomorrow (Tuesday 4th April).

TIMES TABLES

Listen to some times tables songs. (Be aware, these are on YouTube)

All times tables (2 - 12). Students have so far demonstrated/recorded how they learned or practiced for homework. They presented these to the class. Some students found a video with a song or rap about a specific times table. Great! Hope they sang along with it at home. They may be asked to sing along with it in the class. It would be great if some students made their own song.

Some suggestions for a presentation include:

• A rhyme
• Written on paper
• A video
• A song
• A pattern
• Xylophone
• Slot cards

SPELLING

Complete your look, say, cover, write, check in your LSCWC small notebook.

READING

Read for ten minutes every night or twenty minutes three times in a week.

This weeks focus is to read at least once to an animal in your household. Garden snails are acceptable. If you don't have an animal, then read to a pot plant. We will discuss your experiences at school.

Write a journal entry for three of the times you have read at home. Please try to write a short description of the session's reading but ensure it is not just an airy fairy throw away line.

You may want to include details like: 

• Character developments 
• Describing the setting
• Plot changes
• Predictions of future events
• Why you liked/disliked a particular part of the book

We will be asking students to share their journals throughout the week.

JAPANESE

Students should have created hiragana flashcards by now. They will need to practice these for 5 minutes a night for the rest of this term, or until they know how to read them well. We will also be looking at 'hiragana in 48 minutes' as part of their reading program.

HASS - MUSEUM VISIT preparation

Please spend 20 minutes exploring the South Australian Museum's Yidaki website. Have a look. Read some information. In particular WATCH the short video clips: 'Yolngu Visit the Museum', 'Citizens of Australia', 'Building Yidaki', 'Stephen Goldsmith',
