❏ The comprehension focus for this week is making inferences. This is where we use clues from the text and our background knowledge to draw conclusions. Example: The character in the book is wearing a rain jacket and has gumboots on. Inference = It must be raining heavily outside. 

❏ Choose a book on the PM reader app or your own picture book. Read the book aloud to a parent or sibling. Week 4 ‘inference’ focus - After you read, talk about any messages the author might have wanted the reader to think about. (online or offline) https://app.pmecollection.com.au/

❏ Create a venn diagram with all the reasons why it is fun to play outside and inside. (offline) Some possible reasons: I get to play at the beach in the water and on the sand, I can run around on the grass, my friends and I can chase each other, outside play is more active, inside I can build a cubby house, I can play with my toys. 

❏ Look at all your reasons and put a star next to your three best reasons for playing inside, and your 3 best reasons for playing outside. You will use some of these reasons to develop your writing throughout this week. 

 

Fitness To help us with this week's writing task we will do some fitness activities inside and some outside. Today’s activities could be completed indoors or outdoors (offline). 

❏ Simon Says Fitness - Get the children moving by calling out these fun physical activities. You decide when or if you say ‘Simon Says’. Bend down and touch your toes 5 times, hop on one leg, hop on the other leg, balance on your right foot for 20sec, run on the spot for 10secs, do 10 star jumps, walk like a bear, hop around like a kangaroo, show off your muscles in your arms, pretend to sit on an imaginary chair 5 times, stretch up as high as you can, take 5 of the biggest steps forward then backwards, do a silly dance to the count of 10.
