Writing Watch the video ‘How to write an imaginative text – Part 5'. Read each scenario and write a complication for each one. Be creative! (Online students: Complete your work on Google Slides). 1) I woke up yesterday in a pool of sweat. The weird thing is, it was freezing outside and not a single person in sight. 2) As soon as I boarded the train, I began my letter to my sister. I did it. I sold everything and am on my way to find what I've needed to fulfil my dream. 3) The instagram account I created for my hamster just went viral and he’s getting calls with job offers from around the world. 4) “Drink it, quick!” I looked at the bottle. The contents were unlike any I’d ever seen. I closed my eyes and drank it in one gulp. 5) I was running out of time. They’d said they’d give me until sundown and that was only a few hours away.

Health

PDH

Think about and in your own opinion, answer the following

questions:

When is a person healthy? (eg when all 4 areas of health are

balanced).

How can I influence my health? (eg our lifestyle choices,

attitudes/values, heredity and behaviour, nutrition, physical

activity, drug use and relationships influence our health).

What other factors influence my health? (eg physical

environment {air, land, water and human impact}, social

relationships, economic – money, job; political – government).

Why is your health a balancing act? (visualise a tight rope walker

at a circus or a gymnast on a beam; your health changes with

age; certain events in your life, sickness etc)

Students make up an acrostic poem for the term ‘health’. For

example:

H ealthy relationships

E nergy

A balanced diet

Just like addition, when multiplying numbers, two numbers may be

multiplied in any order and the product will be the same. 2 x 3 is the

same as 3 x 2 – Both these problems will have a product of 6.

Animal Life Cycles

A numbat is an Australian marsupial that lives in south western

Western Australia. They are diurnal, unlike most other Australian

Harcourt Public School 12 Stage 2 Online Learning Activities

marsupials which are nocturnal. They feed on marsupials during

the day. They spend their nights hiding in logs and burrows from

predators.

Use the ‘Numbat Life Cycle’ poster to answer the following

questions:

1. Use the branching key from last week’s lesson. What

classification of animals is a numbat?

2. Look carefully at the life cycle and the pictures. What stage

of the life cycle is meant by gestation? (Hint: The gestation

period for humans is 9 months).

3. How big is a numbat at birth?

4. Where does a baby numbat spend the first 3-4 months of

their lives?

5. When is a numbat ready to leave the burrow and live by

itself?

Choose any animal and research the life cycle of your chosen

animal. Create a Google Slides presentation to show the life cycle

of the animal. Use a different slide for each stage of the life cycle

(the changing slides can represent the arrows in a drawn life cycle).

Try and name the stages of the life cycle and explain the

characteristics of that stage.
