WEEK 5 Week 5. Isn’t the time just zooming bye….no? Nope didn’t think so.

Last week’s chats were great. It was great to see you all and catch up. We will do the meetings again this week and after my giant mistake with the password for the room, hopefully I have it right now!

My ZOOM meeting ID will be 674 115 3553. Password will be the school’s phone number 97173563.

Here is a timetable.

9:30 9:40 Monday Quick chat Word study I will go over all of the words. So if you

want to do less work make sure you tune in.

Tuesday Quick chat Sound waves Clauses/comprehension

If you need help on Soundwaves, this is question time.

Wednesday Quick chat BTN Make sure you have watched the video. If you haven’t, this will not be of any use for you.

Thursday Quick chat Maths I will be talking about the maths activities. In particular Perimeter and a little bit of area.

Friday Quick chat General chat Anything else and a general chit chat about our week. What’s been awesome? What hasn’t? Creativity show off! Make something, show it off!

As far as getting into a routine goes, I know it can be tricky. One way to make it easier is to write down what you want to achieve in the day. Break the book up into sections or pages. Here is a rough guide to try and get everything done in the week.

Pages starting at 1 not including this page Monday 1, 2, 12, 14 Tuesday 6, 8/9,11 Wednesday 4, 7, 10 but make sure you watch the video before 15 Thursday 3, 5, 16, 17 Friday 13, 18 and anything else to catch up on.

This is a guide. If it works for you then great, but otherwise change it. If you get everything done on one day and you still have time get a head start on the next day.

Remember you can email miller.benjamin.r@edumail.vic.gov.auor ring 0419303540.

See you during the week.

There are many stories that are passed down from parents to children. We often call these Folktales or oral traditions.

Sometimes these stories are passed down to teach children a lesson. For instance the indigenous Australians told of a bunyip which lived near the water hole and was terrifying. Even though this story is probably partly true (Scientists think the Bunyip was a Diprotodon) this story stopped children from wandering off towards an area where they might drown.

In the English culture we have the Bogeyman which was a made up story to try and scare children into doing the right thing.

There are many other traditions that have been passed down. When you play games out in the yard you often start with eenie meenie miney moe, which has been around for at least 200 years.

Other fairy tales have been around for a LONG time. Beauty and the Beast was a story told 4000 years ago and Jack and the beanstalk (which has changed over time) was told over 5000 years ago.

Fairy tales, nursery rhymes and stores are interesting to listen to but they also give us morals and beliefs passed down from generation to generation.

Have a think about some nursery rhymes and fairy tales and try and work out what moral it might be teaching.

Jack and the Beanstalk – Stealing is wrong, but so is being greedy.

MAKE A WORD FIND WITH YOUR SPELLING WORDS. KEEP IT NEAT AND CAPITALS ONLY

Write your own fairy tale. It will be a made up story but it can be based on something you know. Try and get a lesson to be learned into your story. Maybe a lesson about ‘being nice is a good idea’, ‘don’t take things that aren’t yours’ or 'being rich is fun, but it isn’t everything’.

Egg of Chaos

Read the Chinese creation myth.

Then follow the directions in the Text Marking box.

At first, the universe was jumbled inside a huge egg.

That murky chaos contained all forms of opposites,

or yin and yang. In the whirling mixture were water

and fire, night and day, north and south, and so on.

And there was Pangu, the being who would one day

create our world.

Pangu slept inside the egg of chaos for 18,000

years. During that time, the yin and yang of all things

was tangled together. He separated the heavier yin from

the lighter yang. The yang floated up to become the sky

while the yin settled to become the earth.

Standing between the two parts, Pangu’s head

touched sky and his feet strode upon earth. Over the

next 18,000 years, sky and earth grew ever more vast,

moving apart by ten feet each day.

Pangu also grew, keeping sky and earth separated.

By the time of his death, earth and sky had settled into

their places. One of Pangu’s eyes became the sun, the

other the moon. His breath became wind and clouds;

his voice turned into the sound of thunder. Pangu’s

body formed great mountains and his blood its flowing

waters. His veins became roads and his muscles fertile

fields. His hairs remained in the sky as glittering stars.
