Homework W1 T4

Why is reading important?

Here is a great documentary we will be watching today in class. You could watch the rest of this series at home with your family! Make sure you talk about the difficult words she uses and some of the ideas this raises - are you reading every night at home?

S.D.L. Online!

This term we will be using some online docs to organise our SDL tasks (our must dos!). Below is a screenshot of what it looks like and you can find it on the 'our files' page above.

It is 'view only' for everyone with a paper copy attached to our wall in class. You can star each task as you work through the week on our paper copy. The PA will be in charge of updating your 'stars' on the doc and we can see each others progress throughout the week.

(If you are BYOD I will share the doc with you so you can view it in your google drive)

These task should be completed before Friday or they are a homework task over the weekend. I can email your parents to ask them to help you and I will check your tasks on Monday. You can work on these at home and even before school if you'd like.

When you have finished I will have some 'Can dos' listed at the bottom of the doc.

What do you think? Is there anything you can suggest that will help us be more independent? Anything we could change or add?

Animal Habitat Report

This week our writing task is to write a report about the habitat of our chosen living thing. Some of us have picked snakes, wombats and even the extinct 'Bear-dog.'

Here is how we find out how good our report is. It's called a solo matrix and we move our names up the matrix if we have met that level. At the highest level, the extended abstract level, we need to explain how our animal interacts with 'other' living things in it's habitat.

We can also use this criteria to help us form a great report structure. You can help us research our animals at home if we need it. We've learnt how to use key words in the search bar and to use the most important word first.

Olympics Project - Homework

Here is a project for you to complete in class and at home before next Monday. Our class is going to all Olympic ready by the time the events begin next week!
