WPS Flexible Learning Grid – Year 3 Term 4, Week 2

At Werribee Primary School we understand that every family is different, and every family has their own routines, so our home learning planning is structured in such a way that parents/carers/families have flexibility to adjust their child/children’s learning from day to day. Schedules are provided as a timetable/guide to assist you in managing your day. Students are free to contact classroom teachers on Xuno or Class Dojo if they have any questions regarding their learning tasks. Parents can also contact teachers about Learning Tasks through either Class Dojo or Xuno Messages. Teachers' responses will be during working hours.

Onomatopoeia is when a word describes a sound and actually mimics the

sound of the object or action it refers to when it is spoken. Onomatopoeia appeals to the sense of hearing, and writers use it to bring a story to life in the reader's head.

Task: Watch this video about Onomatopoeia https://drive.google.com/file/d/1YOv1G5wsn7M4Lo US0H72WH0y7hkR2DW0/view?usp=sharing

After watching the video, brainstorm 5 words for each of the images on the worksheet in class resources. Then highlight your favourite word and write a sentence using that word.

Example:

1. splish 2. splash

3. plop

5. splosh

Plop, I looked in horror as the key disappeared into the deep dark ocean.

Task: Identify 10 x recyclable materials at your home or at school.

Recycling is the process of turning waste materials into new materials and objects. Some materials can be recycled through waste management systems such as cardboard, glass, paper, metal cans and some plastics. Some materials cannot be recycled using the recycling bin. For example, some plastics and packaging materials such as Glad Wrap and Styrofoam.

Look around your home and/or school. Identify 10 objects made from materials that can be recycled.

a) List the 10 objects and what materials they are made from.

Examples:

1. Box - cardboard

2. Soft drink bottle - plastic

b) Why do you think it is important to recycle materials? What do you think will happen if we don’t recycle materials? Write and draw your ideas Friday: Science

Learning Focus: Use of Materials

Task: Design and Plan your own Game using Recycled Materials

THINK: What are some games you, your friends and family like to play? Think about the materials you need for these games. They can be inside or outside games (that don’t need an electronic device). Here are some ideas to help you think of your own.

CHOOSE: one game or create a brand-new game that you could make from recycled materials. You may like to use a game you know well and change it slightly to suit your purpose. Here are some examples: a board game, ring toss, maze run, ten pin bowling or a fishing game.

LEARNING FOCUS: We are learning to practise advanced tummy breathing.

TASK: Last week we went over tummy breathing, now we are going to extend our learning with some advanced breathing skills.

1) Using your tummy breathing, take a breath in through your nose and HUM as you breathe out, making the hum last as long as you can. You should feel your tummy muscles getting smaller as you hum, and if you stop humming you should feel your tummy muscles tense up. This means you are doing it correctly.

2) Using your tummy breathing, take a big breath in through your nose and then do 5 short, sharp breaths out through your mouth. Your tummy should tense up each time you give a sharp breath out.

3) Using your tummy breathing, take a big breath in through your nose then make the following sounds.

- ma me mi mo mu - pa pe pi po pu - la le li lo lu - ka ke ki ko ku - fa fe fi fo fu

Make sure you don’t take a breath until the end of each group.
