Text Types - What is poetry? - What type of poetry did we look at last week? (nursery rhymes) Tell the students today we are going to look at number rhymes. Discuss: - What are number rhymes? - Do you know any number rhymes? - Give the students an example- five little ducks. - Question- what are their purpose? Who would say them? Who are they designed for? Read over the following number poems to the students and then as a class. - Get the students to practise them in small groups and present them to the class. 1. Five little ducks 2. Three blind mice 3. 1,2,3,4,5 4. Ten in the bed. - Get students to make their own number poem in small groups. They can either use a known poem and change the words of create their own. ||  || This week in talking and listening students will practise using a clear and loud voice when saying number rhymes. They will also practise a chosen number rhyme in partners and present this to the class. ||  || Discuss the words heavy, light, heavier, lighter, lightest and heaviest. - ** Make the same mass ** Make a mass that is the same as a given mass. - ** Your turn to choose ** Pairs of students select three items from a collection. Students estimate, then place the items in order of mass by hefting. Record the order. Students should be able to explain in pairs how the items were compared. - ** Work out how many ** My mystery object has the same mass as two eggs. How many blocks would I need to balance it, (only give them one egg). Students should check that they are correct and explain or record their working. ||  || // Natasha Dunn 15/10/12 // ||

 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">What is reader’s theatre? (They discussed this last week so they should have some idea). (Readers theatre- involves a rehearsed reading for an audience. Is reading a script adapted from literature, and the audience picturing the action from hearing the script being read aloud. It requires none or minimal sets, costumes, props or memorized lines. Instead of acting out literature as in a play, the performer’s goal is to read a script aloud effectively, enabling the audience to visualize the action.)
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">What can it be based on?

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">Various types of texts including novels, plays, poems, stories, big books, newspapers or adaptations of these.

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">Watch the following reader’s theatre:

[]

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">Discuss what the students now think about readers theatre.

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">Make a list with the students on the board of what they believe are the most important things when performing readers theatre (eg loud clear voice).

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">Give the students the play “The fourth little pig” and assign parts. []

<span style="font-family: Times New Roman,serif;">Tell the students they need to focus on these things when performing. Practice the readers theatre. Record the reader’s theatre on the ipad and get the students to watch their performance and discuss. || <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">Ask the students to get out their ten games and play with the person they did yesterday. Do this for ten minutes. __<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">All: __
 * 12.00 || **Lunch** ||
 * 12.40 || **Space and Measurement**
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">Use the cards – heavy, light, heavier, lighter, heaviest, lightest. (These should be on the white board where the markers are, otherwise the words can be written on paper)
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">Put them upside down on the carpet, choose students one at a time to pick a card and say a sentence with the word in it.

__<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">Brodie __<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">(works with Lyne and Stephanie. They will come over about ten mins after starting math time- you just need to tell Lyne or show her the following and she will go through it with Brodie)
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">Worksheet attached. They need to guess which is heavier and lighter and then check using an equal arm balance (All the stage one kids know where these are so you can send two to go and get them). They then glue the correct labels on the objects.
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">If finished early he can then choose two items guess which is heavier, check using the equal arms balance and record in his book.

__<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">Everyone else- __
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">Get the students to take turns playing this on the smart board. []
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">In a group- teacher chooses an object and students guess how many dominoes would weigh the same. (Dominoes are in games corner) The teacher then chooses a student to check by placing the dominoes in the scales until equal.
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">Continue the same process using other objects but always measuring with dominoes.
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">Students record this is their book using a 3 columns table- labell the columns object, estimate and answer
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">Discuss which item is the heaviest, why and how can you tell and which is the lighest, why and how can you tell. ||
