Daily 5 (Literacy - Reading, Writing and Spelling)
Reading to Self
PM Books - I have created accounts for each of you through PM Books and there are sessions set up for you. Your log in details have been sent to your email address so click here and log in. Your reading session will be at the top of the library. You get to your group books by clicking on the image at the top of the book shelf (like the image below). Choose one book to read - you can turn your microphone on and record yourself reading too. It does look like they are books for younger children, there are those but there are books for you too (that's why they are in a group at the top of the library).
Reading to a Buddy
Read to a pet or your favourite toy! Use lots of expression when you are reading so they understand what the text is about. Remember, it doesn't need to be a book - you might be helping in the kitchen by reading the recipe to someone as they cook/bake or you might be reading the instructions of how to make something. Sometimes instructions don't have words and you need to 'read' the pictures - that's a great skill to practice too!
Listening to Reading
Working with Words
Spelling - today's activity is Colour Match. Use your ten list words.
Typing Club - many of you have set goals around improving your typing skills. Typing Club is a great way to do this! Spend 10-15 minutes exploring how Typing Club works.

This week we are going to work on creating a poetry anthology. An anthology is a collection of poems either by the same author or a group of authors.
Each day you will pick a different type of poem to explore from the examples below. You can use any subject or theme for your poem that you choose. You might use something from your bubble, your favourite colour, your favourite food, a friend or family member, an experience you have had - the choose is yours!
Each of the poetry types below shows you how to put the poem together and gives you an example of what it looks like.

Think, Notice, Wonder
Think, notice, wonder is a technique to get you thinking, noticing and wondering about the maths that is all around us in everyday life.
Each day a different photo will be posted and you need to record what the image makes you think about, what you notice about the image and what it makes you wonder about. Try to switch your brain to think, notice and wonder about the maths that is connected to the image. Here is an example;

ANZAC Celebrations
This year people in New Zealand won't be able to attend ANZAC services like they normally do. We will need to celebrate in our bubbles instead. One idea that people have talked about is standing at the end of your driveway at 6am (when the dawn service would normally start).
You could make an ANZAC wreath to hang on your fence or letterbox (this is what that egg carton was for!) There are some easy to follow instructions on Crafty Morning's blog.
Or you could make an ANZAC poppy.

Have you wondered why we use poppies to remember soldiers on ANZAC Day? This poem In Flanders Field explains a bit more about it.
