Informative Texts- Using a Fact File (Lesson 7)

Learning intentions: Today I will learn how to use a fact file.

Success criteria: I can translate a simple dot point information from a fact file

into a full sentence then use this sentence to write an informative text.

Now, try the following activities:

Activity 1: Chose one fact file from the pack- Animals, Objects, People.

Translate each dot point from the chosen fact file into a full sentence.

You can use a book or the internet to find extra information about your chosen

topic if you like. (text, YouTube video etc…)

Activity 2: Use the sentences you have written to write an informative text on

the scaffold planning sheet provided.

Activity 3: Use the information from the scaffold writing sheet to write your

own informative text. Illustrate your text with your own picture, photo, drawing

etc…

Don’t forget to refer to the checklist sheet regularly during your writing.

Do not worry too much about spelling, grammar and punctuation yet. We will see

to that in the next lesson on Proofreading and Editing.

Informative Texts- Applying proofreading and editing skills

(Lesson 8)

Learning intentions: Today I will learn how to proofread and edit my own

writing.

Success criteria: I can proofread and edit my own writing to make the

information I have found accurate and the grammar and spelling correct.

Now, try the following activities:

Activity 1: Chose a slide from the Editing Passages PowerPoint -Year 3 or 4.

Rewrite the chosen passage correctly in your workbook.

Activity 2: When you are finished, open the answer slide and check your own

work. Think:

• What strategies did you use to find the correct spelling and missing

punctuation?

• What else can you use to help you with the spelling of some words?

• Why is proofreading and editing so important?

Activity 3: Use your editing and proofreading skills to check the informative

text you wrote in the previous lesson.

• Read the text aloud to see if it sounds right when spoken.

• Underline or circle any words you suspect are misspelt.

• Use a bright pen to ensure your editing stands out.

• Just check one aspect at a time: ex: only spelling in red, then

punctuation in green, grammar in blue.

Week 7 - Music

Bucket Drumming Set yourself up by finding a ‘drum’ and ‘drumsticks’. You could use a large thick plastic bucket or storage container and some sticks or chopsticks. If you have a choice of vessels, experiment with the drum sound you like best.

Skeleton Buckets #1 Yellow Belt

Play body percussion to this skeleton dance video . Use these body percussion sounds: Handdrum: Stomp Tambourine: Clap Claves: Click Triangle: Vocal sound (eg ding)

Skeleton Buckets #2 Red Belt

Play along to this skeleton dance video on your homemade trash drum or body percussion. There are four different symbols in the video, find four sounds on your drum and assign one to each symbol.

Skeleton Buckets #3 Black Belt

Play along to this skeleton dance video on an instrument you already play. Hint: try using the notes F, G, Ab and C to start you off

Think about: - How did your arrangement sound? - What was the most challenging part? Why? - Which part did you enjoy playing the most? Why?

Offline option: Practise this rhythm on body percussion or bucket drum.

Week 7 - :Library

Hello everybody!

Week 7 is Book Week, always an exciting week on our learning calendar. The theme for

Book Week 2021 is “Old Worlds, New Worlds, Other Worlds”

The Children’s Book Council of Australia (CBCA) have decided not to postpone Book

Week this year which means we need to find a new way to celebrate books and have

some much needed fun!

Book Parades have been a long-standing tradition at our school, and we would hate to

miss out, so, because everyone in the Narraweena Public School learning community is

so Resilient, Resourceful, Adaptable and Creative we are going to go ahead with our

Book Parade… with a twist!

Scrambled Eggs and Kooky Potatoes!

This year, instead of making PEOPLE sized costumes for a book parade … everyone is

invited to dress up a HARDBOILED EGG or a POTATO!

Children in all Stages, your Library Work for this week

is to think of your favourite book, the characters in that

book and make a little magic with your egg or potato.

The idea is NOT to pester family to go out of their way

to get supplies… please use whatever you can find

about your home and (with permission) get ingenious

and inventive!

Please take a photo and send it

clare.compton@det.nsw.edu.au and I will put them all

together into a montage to view our ‘parade’ in Week 8!

Here are some eggs and potatoes I have dressed up

based on some of the books you all might have been

reading and like as a little bit of inspiration for each stage.

As you can see, they DON’T HAVE TO BE PERFECT, I

hope you have a lot of fun!

Challenges

In a safe area in your yard or at a park with your parents or guardian, try the following two challenges.

Racquet Hit It Up

Using either a tennis racquet or the bottom of a frying pan, how many times can you continuously hit a ball

up into the air before it touches the ground?

Use a tennis ball or similar sized small ball.

What was your best score?

Kicking a Small Ball

In week 5 you were kicking a ball as high as you can and catching it.

This week how many times in a row can you kick a smaller sized ball such as a tennis ball above your

head and catch it before it hits the ground.

Remember if it touches the ground, start your count again.

Reminder: This is not a challenge on how high you can kick the ball!

Tips

• Take your time and focus on your ball drop.

• Always keep your eyes on the ball.

• Try find a rhythm and be consistent and make your kicks catchable.
