Lockdown 2.0 Home Learning
Home Learning for the week starting 24 August 2020
Daily tasks include maths worksheets, word ladder fun-sheets. In each case there is more than one page provided so your child can chose one page each day (as a must do) and a second page (as a fast finisher/ extension task). Please use the pages in your child’s homework book to complete the learning tasks (dated for each day).
We would like you to keep a Wellness Diary. There will also be a daily Media Review (see box below) and there will be a daily 2pm zoom meeting – to discuss the topic video and any questions.
Worksheets and activities will be updated each day on the website.
A Maths word-problem activity will happen on a Wednesday (and discussed at the Wednesday 2pm zoom meeting). A Religious Education activity will happen on Thursday and an Art activity will happen at the Friday 2pm zoom meeting (with collected materials).

Writing – EPIC Media Review
Lockdown 2.0 Daily Writing
Please go to EPIC RESOURCES https://natlib.govt.nz/librarians/epic/epic-for-new-zealand-schools/epic-resources-for-schools
Find National Geographic Kids (on EPIC)
Then use username stjogrey
And password (is on your parent’s email)
THEN choose one book (there are 611) OR one video (there are 218) OR one magazine article (there are 2,573) and write a Media Review. This is much like a Book Review – importantly write the title and type of media first (book, video or magazine) then write what it is about and why you enjoyed it (3 sentences), plus what you learnt from it and who would also enjoy it (3 sentences).
You can write your Media Review in your book OR on the LOCKDOWN 2.0 Google doc.

TIMETABLE WORKSHEETS – There is more than one page provided so your child can chose one page each day (as a must do)
and a second page (as a fast finisher/ extension task).
About the worksheets
ALL worksheets come from the following 5 books (see photo).
Word ladder differs for Year 2&3 and Year 4 children. Note these word ladder activities are at Kindergarden to Year 1 (easy) and Grades 1-2 (tricky) levels respectively. So these tasks should be quite manageable for your child and will improve their reading, phonetical awareness, spelling AND problem solving/thinking ability.
Maths worksheets differ for each maths colour group (same as the maths boxes in class). If your child cannot remember their maths-box colour please email me at sibilla.girardet@st-joseph.school.nz.
Note the maths Stages “3”, “4” and “EA” refer to the following year levels:
Maths Stage “3” – by end of Year 1
Maths Stage “4” – by end of Year 2
Maths Stage “EA” (early additive) – by end of Year 3
Maths Stage “5” – by end of Year 4 (NOT SET ONLINE)
So again these maths tasks should be quite manageable for your child and will improve their number awareness AND problem solving/thinking ability.
