06/03/2019 Dear Diary,

Today was the most fantastic day As the sun smiled down at me encouraging me to face the day I could smell breakfast cooking from outside the Yano I jumped out of my bed threw on my clothes and skipped outside

A delicious breakfast of fresh fish from the river was waiting for me on the table and I gobbled it down as quick as a flash I grabbed my hunting spear shouted goodbye to my mum and dashed out to the rainforest

Unfortunately the nabe strangers in the rainforest have been cutting and burning down the yao nahi where I normally hunt for food Would I find any today Would I see any of the nabe A grin spread across my face I could see a pig I stalked it carefully Waited patiently Got it Excited elated thrilled I couldn’t wait to tell Moawa, my uncle.

In the evening we all sat together in the yano and listened to my grandfather tell us tribe stories We sang and danced We had a fantastic time I’m sitting on my bed writing this remembering all the amazing things that happened today I hope tomorrow is just as good

Reflection:

How do you want the reader to feel when they read you writing?

Here is an example:

Dear Diary,

As I was strolling through the rainforest this morning, I thought to

myself how lucky I was to live in such a beautiful environment. I

closed my eyes and breathed in the warm, humid air and the

perfume of the sweet flowers. I could hear the distant cries of a

tropical bird so I opened my eyes, in a desperate search to see this

magnificent creature. Like a flash of fire, the scarlet wings opened

wide as it glided through the trees. Suddenly, it darted in and out of

the thick, green canopy and then up into the clouds above.

Looking around, I saw the lush, vibrant trees that draped their

branches lazily. Somewhere nearby, I heard babbling water

running over limestone rocks as dragonflies skimmed over the

water’s surface. It was hard to stay focused on my task of

collecting fruit when the forest just called out for me to play. I can’t

Lesson 1:

LI: to divide 2-digit and 1-digit number by 10 using concrete materials.

I can identify the place value of the represented numbers. I can demonstrate that the digits move one decimal place to the right when dividing by 10.

I can use concrete materials to investigate dividing a 1- and 2-digit number by 10 using place value grids.

Get a piece of paper and draw a place value grid like this:

Tens Ones Tenths Hundredths

Now, get something at home like rice or pasta to represent your counters.

Create your number in the place value grid. For example 62 will have 6 tens and 2 ones, so place 6 items in the tens and 2 in the ones. Then, divide by ten. Move the objects one column to the left. Write what the new number is.

Try with: e. 85 ÷10 = f. 90 ÷10 = g. 7.1 ÷10 = h. 65 ÷10 =

1 ÷10 =

• I can identify a part of a whole.

• I can line my digits in the correct place value columns. • I can use column subtraction to subtract the part from the

whole, exchanging if necessary.

Roll a dice to make a decimal and then subtract that decimal from 1. Write down step by step instructions and use these to coach your partner.

Complete the calculation below. How many different solutions can you find? Explain how you solved it.

0.5 + 0.4 = 1

LI: To explore natural textures

· Know what natural textures are.

· Where can we find these natural textures

· Know how to transfer these textures to paper

(20)

Year 4 Home Learning

We are going to investigate the different textures of our natural

surroundings. We will look at the textures of bark, leaves. If you can go for a walk to collect some things you think will work nicely in your art. You can collect leaves, daisies, bark, leaves, or anything interesting.

Once you have collected your natural textures it is time to create rubbings, flower pressings, drawings or any other way you wish to use these objects. Use the rubbings to cut out different leaf shapes/ trees that you could find in the rainforest. Keep all these things safe for the next lessons.

Some examples are below.

Remember when collecting things for your natural textures, don’t damage too much nature. Bark rubbings can be done straight from the tree. Wild flowers can be chosen carefully, remembering only one or two. Find fallen leaves where possible. Please leave the natural area the way you found it and take any rubbish home with you.

PE

PE Lesson 4

L.I. To continue to learn and demonstrate an aerobic exercise routine.

● Perform stretches to warm up and prepare body ● Revise boxing body movement and stances ● Explore the sidekick and various arm movements

1. Warm Up: How many jumping jacks/star jumps can you do in 1 minute? Keep that first go as a record and try this again after a 30 second rest. Did you improve your number this second time around?

Paired Warm Up: Knee Tag

With your sibling, face each other in a squat position. On the instruction ‘Go!’, each of you aims to touch the inside of the other’s knee. The first to three touches wins. You must face your opponent at all times, so you cannot turn sideways or turn your back to them.

(23)

Year 4 Home Learning

2. Stretching: Perform each stretch for at least a 20 second count. Single Knee Lunge, then switch legs.

Quadriceps Stretch – pull your foot up to your back and hold it. Triceps Stretch – arm behind head. Try and keep your back and neck straight as you do this stretch.

3. Let’s try the sidekick, which is good for your coordination and balance. With your hands in the ready position, lean over to the right or left side and kick out from the knee with your foot flat. Practise. See the picture below. Make sure to try BOTH sides, not just one.

4. You are now going to sidestep around in a circle. Turn to the side and do four sidekicks – two (2) on each leg.

5. Repeat the routine you created in Lesson 3 to music, this time adding on the sidekick move and arms actions.

Questions:

Can you think of any other arm actions you could do with the sidekick that you may have learned?

Why is it important to increase the duration (length of time) of exercise in order to increase fitness?
