Reading
Learning intention: Experiment with punctuation to engage the reader and achieve purpose eg exclamation mark, hyphen and parentheses Last week for reading we focused on different punctuation markers that were used throughout a text and we were able to explain how this particular punctuation has helped the reader. So just to recap, punctuation markers help the reader in understanding the writer's intended message. Sometimes the use of punctuation makes it easier to read and comprehend the writer's ideas. Depending

on where they are placed or if they are used at all, commas, apostrophes, and other marks affect a sentence's message. Above is an image showing different punctuation markers we can use and examples on how it may look in a text. Today we are going to be focusing on ‘parentheses’ ( ) . This punctuation marker is used to set off extra information that further explains or clarifies an idea. They are used similarly to commas and hyphens when they also come in pairs.
An example of parentheses: Crustaceans - Around 1 300 species, including a number that are
commercially important (for example, some species of crabs and prawns).
On a keyboard these are the buttons needed to be pressed to reach the parenthese buttons on a keyboard. Activity:
1. Your task today is to complete the Parentheses cloze passage. You will need to insert a pair of parentheses in the following sentences.
2. Read a paragraph titled ‘Oceans’, then highlight punctuation marks by colour
coding them according to a grid. ----------------------------------------------------------->

Problem of the day: If Sally has ⅖ less of her chocolate bar than David who has 1 whole chocolate bar, how much does Sally have?
● We have been looking at fractions and where they are placed on a number line ● We know that if the numerator is smaller than the denominator the fraction is less than 1 (these
fractions are called proper fractions). If the numerator is larger than the denominator these fractions are called improper fractions)
0 1 This fraction is ⅘ - notice how it is less than 1
0
2 This fraction is 7/5 or 1 ⅖ - notice how it is more than 1

BREAK – 45 minutes Mathematics - Year 4
Learning Intention: Apply knowledge of decimals to record measurements (link back to length). Model, compare and represent decimals of up to two decimal places. State the place value of digits in decimal numbers of up to two decimal places
Problem of the day
Meera is 153cm tall. Write her height in metres using decimal notation.
Decimal Place Value
Watch the following video which explains the place value of decimal numbers. Our main focus is tenths and hundredths but you can
watch all the way through to also learn about thousandths. https://www.khanacademy.org/math/cc-fifth-grade-math/imp-place-value-
and-decimals/imp-decimal-place-value-intro/v/place-value-with-decimals
The following image highlights the place value columns we are examining today

Your task
Your job is to take the following numbers and write them out in expanded notation. An example has been completed for you based on
the above number 3 528.74. To write this number out in expanded notation (the sum of its parts), we write the following;
- 3000 + 500 + 20 + 8 + 7/10 + 4/100
The extension of your learning is to just include the decimal numbers as a fraction.
Write out the following numbers in expanded notation
1. 2.56 = 2. 12.4 = 3. 0.6 = 4. 0.05 = 5. 78.65 =
6. 312.06 = 7. 405.9 = 8. 2009.63 = 9. 3.213 = 10. 0.012 =
We use decimal numbers all the time in measurement. This allows us to accurately measure objects. If we are measuring in
centimetres (cm), not all objects will be exactly a whole number when measured in cm. We use millimetres (mm) for space in between
a whole cm. We can just as accurately measure objects using centimetres if we use decimal notation. 1 cm = 10 mm. This means that
each mm is 1/10 of a cm. We know from above that in dealing with tenths, this is our first decimal place. Thus, 12 mm will be equal to 1
whole cm and 2/10 of a cm. Written as decimal, this will be 1.2cm. (This will be explained in ZOOM if this is confusing for you)
Convert the following measurements from mm to cm.
1. 23mm = 2. 14mm = 3. 8mm = 4. 60mm = 5. 78mm =
6. 112mm = 7. 306mm = 8. 423mm = 9. 140mm = 10. 6.7mm =
Challenge
Find 5 objects from around your house that have a length of less than 30cm (the size of most rulers). If you have a ruler at home,
measure the object and record its length in both cm and mm. Include your findings below:

Reading
Learning intentions: Skim a text for overall message and scan for particular information eg headings, keywords Identify the features of online texts that enhance navigation Identify features of online texts that enhance readability including text, navigation, links, graphics and layout Identify and analyse the different organisational patterns and features to engage their audience Informative texts educate the reader about a specific topic.
Yesterday we revised the following terms: hyperlink, pop up, side bar, audio, view 360 tour and url. We also identified features of online texts that enhance navigation, for example: audio, drop down bars, interactive quizzes, videos etc. Even though we visited online sites to gather information, how do we know we can trust the information we read through research? Today’s lesson, you will look at reliable and unreliable websites. Reliable sources have links to verifiable, current evidence, unreliable sources do not. Reputable news articles usually link their sources within the paragraphs and the links should take the reader to the main source of information, which itself is also a reliable source.
Activity: 1. Comparing different websites, you will need to fill in the table discussing how they are different and how they are
the same? Which is more reliable and which isn't?

● Count by fifths until you get to the number 5 ● Look at the Powerpoint slide titled, ‘Wednesday Year 3 fractions’ and follow the instructions ● Remember to ‘turn in’ the Powerpoint if working online, otherwise complete the sheets
For further assistance please watch the instructional video provided on Google classroom Year 4
Learning intention: Use place value to partition decimals of up to two decimal places
Problem of the Day
If 58 out of 100 students in a school are boys, then write a decimal for the part of the school that consists of boys.
Partitioning Decimals
Just like whole numbers, we can partition decimal numbers in non-standard ways. For example, the decimal 0.43. In expanded form, this
would be represented as 0.43 = 4/10 + 3/100. We can however partition the values differently and represent this whole decimal as 43/100.
The trick in doing this is to look at the place value column a decimal number goes up to. We can then write this decimal number as a fraction
with a denominator that matches the place value column that our decimal number goes up to. (A little confusing and we will explain this on
ZOOM but look at the example below.)
The decimal 0.56 can be expanded to 5/10 + 6/100. If I was to put these together, my decimal number finishes at the hundredths column, so
my total fraction must be a number over a hundred = 56/100
Complete this table for the following decimal numbers (the first 3 have been completed as examples for you)
Decimal Number Expanded notation Decimal as a total fraction
0.85 8/10 + 5/100 85/100
1.36 1 + 3/10 + 6/100 1 36/100
0.247 2/10 + 4/100 + 7/1000 247/1000

Creative Arts – Dance The Elements of Dance
In dance the body is our primary instrument. How it moves in space is in the dance artist's way of communicating emotions, ideas and stories. In dance, movement can be broken into elements; - Space
- Time - Dynamics (Energy)
- Relationships (Body & Action)
Space: Where? This element is about how the dancer uses the space in various ways.
● levels ● direction ● pathways ● size ● self space and general space ● shape ● elevation ● distance
Time: When? Time is the rhythmic use of the body either to music, sound or voice.
● tempo - fast to slow, accelerate, decelerate ● rhythms ● accent - single movement, multiple movements, on
beat ● stillness ● duration - how long
Dynamics: How? Sometimes referred to as energy, dynamics is how the dancer moves in their space.
● tension - tight to loose ● flow - smooth to jagged ● force - strong to gentle ● weight - heavy to light
Relationship: Who? This is how we move by ourselves but also in relation to other dancers, performers and objects. Including how we connect body parts with ourselves and others, and proximity to others things and people in space.
● groupings - solo, group formation ● spatial - over, under, through, around, beside, in front
of, near, far ● interaction - mirror, meeting, parting, lead, follow ● connecting - body parts with self or others or objects
Your task: Watch the following dance clips and identify 5 things that you can identify within the performance that relate to the elements of dance. For example:
© NSW Department of Education, Jul-212
● grouping (how many people are performing), ● elevation (the different heights of performers throughout the dance), ● spatial (how the dance is spaced out on the stage), ● tempo (how fast or slow each movement is) ● interaction (how the dancers in the performance interact with each other) ● levels (different dancers at different heights throughout the performance) ● stillness (do the dancers stand still at any time)

Writing
Learning intention:
incorporate pronouns, conjunctions, and connectives when writing a paragraph
This term, you have been learning to identify text connectives and to understand how they make a text cohesive (so
all the parts work together) and help the reader understand the writer’s meaning.
Text connectives provide signposts that indicate how the story or text is developing. Connectives link the parts of a
text to make it ‘a whole’
Connectives form links

Learning intentions: Use hefting to identify objects that have a mass of ‘more than’, ‘less than’ and ‘about the same as’ one kilogram discuss strategies used to estimate mass, eg referring to a known mass Important vocabulary to remember: mass, balance, measure, estimate, kilogram, gram, morethan, less than
● Last week we introduced kilograms (kg) and grams (g). Before you start this activity, go to your fridge or cupboard and take out some items measured in kilograms and grams. Feel the weight in the palms of your hands to familiarise yourself with how they feel in terms of their weight. It would be of great benefit if you can find something which weighs 1 kilogram
Hint: anything that is a liquid eg soft drink, milk, juice etc can not be measured in kilograms and grams, these items are measured in millilitres and litres
● Today we are looking at hefting. Hefting is basically estimating when we lift or hold something to determine which of the two items is heavier or what weight we think the item is.
● Complete the ‘hefting at home’ worksheet
For further assistance please watch the instructional video provided on Google classroom Year 4
Learning intention: Record masses using the abbreviation for grams (g) Compare two or more objects by mass measured in kilograms and grams, using a set of scales
We introduced kilograms (kg) and grams (g) last week. These measures are used to measure the mass or how heavy an object is. Like last week, if you have access to kitchen or bathroom scales, this will help you undertake this activity. Find 5 items around your house that you think weigh less than 1 kg or 1 000g. Place them in order from lightest to heaviest based on your own estimates. Check that you are correct by using the kitchen scales. Fill out the table below for your 5 items.
Item Estimate of mass in grams Actual Weight in grams
If you do not have kitchen scales, search on the Internet to see if they have an estimated weight of your object.
