Welcome to the 3/4W Learning at Home Page

Dear Students,
​
Welcome 3/4W students to our Term 3 learning community. During your time at home it is important that we stay connected with your learning so please go to our '34W Daily Page' each morning for new tasks. This '34W Main Page' should be used for additional ideas once you have finished your daily tasks.
Below I have written some instructions for activities that you can do from home that are directly linked to the learning taking place in our class. While you are at home, try to embrace learning in different ways. You may like to do some cooking, gardening or even build something outside. Continue to be curious about the world around you.

The Department of Education has requested that we keep track of attendance while remote learning. Could you please email me each day to let me know that you have engaged with learning from home. 

Take care and stay safe,
​

Reading

​Reading at home will look a lot like reading in the classroom. Each day you are expected to read independently for 30 minutes. During reading, you can record interesting vocabulary or questions you have. You need to track your reading by keeping a diary of your reading each day, including the pages read and your time spent reading. After three of these sessions, you are to complete a response that relates to the text you read. The responses will focus around your comprehension skills that we have been developing during Semester 1, such as predicting making-connections text-to text, text-to-self, text-to-world, questioning, visualising and summarising. This term we will continue to focus on building word vocabulary, synthesising, skimming and scanning. We will also continue to build on our skill of asking and answering literal and inferential questions.

Steps: 
Select a book to read, have your workbook ready. Read for 30 minutes, logging interesting words or questions in your work book Record your reading when you have finished reading. Select a reading response to complete

Response Ideas: 

Write a response or a summary of what you read or viewed.
What did you learn?
​What further questions do you have?

Writing

Each day you will receive one writing lesson within our daily slides. Completing the lesson in your slides should be your first priority each day.

We will often refer to the writing process in our lessons. This process is listed below and under each button you will find a poster detailing each stage of the writing process.
​
Steps to the ‘Writing Workshop’ process are as follows: 
STAGE 1 - Planning
STAGE 2 - Composing
STAGE 3 - Revising
STAGE 4 - Editing
STAGE 5 - Publishing
Personal writing never finishes. You should always be engaged in the above process. You can write about anything you like. If you are having trouble coming up with an idea for writing please explore the below prompts.

​Mathematics

Each day you will receive one Mathematics lesson within our daily slides. Completing the lesson in your slides should be your first priority each day. If you elect to complete additional maths please explore the below websites and resources.

Mathletics

​Each week we will assign Mathletics tasks connected to our current maths focus. After completing these tasks please feel free to explore the website and compete in 'live maths'. It is suggested that you complete Mathletics tasks at least three times per week, for 20 minutes each time.

The above button will direct you to a range of problem solving tasks / questions. Answer these in written form and show your working. Select the level that is appropriate for your mathematical ability.
The above game is great for revising basic facts. It would be wonderful if you specifically work on the doubles and halves challenges.

The above button will take you to a fantastic library of online maths games. Enjoy
