45A Remote LearningWelcome to the 45A remote learning page. This page has resources and links to support you in your remote learning experience. There is information regarding the structure of Literacy and Maths lessons included, complete with ways to continue your learning if you finish tasks early. It might look a little different, but we're all in this together 45A, let's make the most of it!

Reading
Just like at school, try to read for approximately 30-40 minutes. Reading could be a book, comic, newpaper article, magazine, audio book, episode of BTN, recepie, anything at all! There are some links below to help you.
Recording your reading
Keep track of your reading in your diary (Grade 5’s) or your take-home reading journal (Grade 4’s). Please remember to record how long you read for, and the pages you read.
Before reading
Think about what it is you're about to read. Use all of these clues to make a prediction about some of the things that may be included. If it is a traditional book, flip through it, look at the pictures and some of the words before you read. I want you thinking carefully about the text before you read it.
During reading
Record interesting vocabulary that you find as you read. Don’t forget to record the book you found the word in, and whether the word was used as a noun, verb, adjective or adjerb. If you need to refresh your memory on these parts of speech you can visit one of the useful links below.
After reading
Now is time to repond to the text. There are lots of different ways you can do this.
Drawing: Recreate the front cover of the book you have read. Make sure you can explain your drawing clearly. Recreate the front cover of the book you have read. Make sure you can explain your drawing clearly.Draw a character from a book you are reading. Make sure you include as much detail as you can from the story
Writing: Re-write the ending of your story. Make sure you can explain why you made the changes that you made. Write a detailed review of your book. Include a broad overview of the plot, a recommendation of whether or not somebody else would enjoy it and a rating of of 5 stars. List 3 connections that you have made with the book. This must include one Text-To-Text, one Text-To-Self and one Text-To-World connection
Talking: Act out a particular part of the story with a family member or friend. Try to use the tone of your voice to match the feelings of the character you’re playing. Share your thoughts and feelings about the book with someone. Did you enjoy reading it? Why? Why not? Explain you thinking in detail. Share your thoughts and feelings about the book with someone.

Writing
The PGPS Writing Process
Keep writing! Continue to follow the Pender’s Grove Writing Process. I have summarised it below for you.
Keep writing! Continue to follow the Pender’s Grove Writing Process. I have summarised it below for you.
Plan > Compose > Revise > Edit > Publish
I will be setting specific lessons for you each day, sometimes they will involve creating a piece of writing, sometimes they wont. It is important that you continue to write stories for fun, even if I haven't set it as a task. Some different types of writing you could try..
I will always give you feedback on any stories you send me, whether I have set that task or not. You can type your story in a work doc, or write it on paper, take a photo and send to me.
- Narrative
- Persuasive
- Poetry
- Information report
- Daily journal
- Just email Alan whatever you're thinking

Maths
Maths at home
I suggest you begin by warming up (like our number fluency) for 5-10 minutes, this could be skip counting or playing a card game with a family member.
For 20-30 minutes, complete an activity that supports the place value learning that has been taking place in 45A.
Some ideas are below
Digits (numerals): 7,493
Words: Seven thousand, four hundred and ninety-three
Expanded notation: 7000 + 400 + 90+ 3 Play date maths. Record the numerals (digits) in the date and use different operations to create number sentences (equations/sums) that equal 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10. Aim to use multiple operations and all of the digits in each number sentence. If you have been exploring order of operations (BIDMAS/BODMAS) then show me!!. Use the random number dice link above to choose random numbers to skip count by. Record your skip counting as high as you can go. See if you can go higher the next day.
You can spend 10-15 minutes playing some games which support the place value learning that has been happening in the classroom.
Date Maths instructions
Record the numerals (digits) in the date and use different operations to create number sentences (equations/sums) that equal 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10.
So, today (Friday 17th), the code date digits are 1, 7, 4, 2, 0. I want you to create a number sentence (equation/sum) using those digits that equals 1.
It will look like this. I used 7 4 and 2, my problem equals one. Now do one for 2, then 3, all the way up to 10. So when you're finished, you will have used the code date digits to create 10 sums that equal the numbers 1-10.
Aim to use multiple operations and all of the digits in each number sentence. If you have been exploring order of operations (BIDMAS/BODMAS) then show me!!
And finally, PRACTISE YOUR TIMES TABLES!! As we discuss in class, speed DOES NOT matter

Some ideas are below
- Complete your weekly assigned Mathletics tasks
- Record 10 pairs of numbers written using expanded notation. You can choose numbers that are the same difficulty as what you use in the classroom. This might be 3-digit (1,354), 4-digit (14,839) or as high as you like. Use the dice roller below as a dice to generate numbers. Record your number in:
