Class 5 Treehouse: Thursday in the treehouse

Preposition

Conjunction

Kia ora Class 5

Today we have spelling, daily math, reading, form drawing, math and sport. Remember these are just a guide and ideas, you don't have to do everything on this list. Lot's of you are doing such fantastic home learning. Dylan has been doing Amazing Race style challenges, Annie sowed broad bean seeds yesterday, Jordi and his whānau created the most beautiful pony stable for Thea's birthday (photo at the bottom of the page), Phoebe has been making stop motion videos with her dad (check out the page called "Phoebe's stop motion" for an extended video and a how-to), Ella has been making an exquisite scrap book journal, as well as lots of baking, crafting and building being done by most of you.

Spelling:
Lots of clever people found more words than me yesterday!

Some people took the challenge a step further and rearranged the letters, I love it!

Today's spelling task is a grammar activity.
Categorise the words into parts of speech - nouns (naming words), verbs (doing words), adjectives (describing words), preposition (used before a noun eg: at, in, on), adverb (describes the verb), conjunction (joins words eg: and, because), pronoun (replaces a name eg: she, he, they).
Use a online dictionary (or a physical copy if you've got one, even better) to check if you get stuck.

Daily math:
Well done to Ocean, Hans, Ciaran, Ari, CM, Sian, Lily, Briar, Dylan, Blake, Jordi

Today's math:
*Try the easier option if you are finding it tricky, and if it's still too challenging practice some 3 digit addition and subtraction sums and send them to me for a prize instead 😃

Halfway between:

A) What number is halfway between 13 and 16?

B) What number is halfway between 32 and 50?

C) What number is halfway between 378 and 400?

D) What number is halfway between 3,000,000 and 6,000,000?

Easier option:

A) What number is halfway between 15 and 21?

B) What number is halfway between 32 and 42?

C) What number is halfway between 45 and 61?

Form drawing:

Great form drawings last week team, I was very impressed with your careful, harmonious lines and figures. Remember to take your time, for drawing is a slow process, not a race. Practice making the form without a pencil, then do a veeeeeery light line (some of you find making light lines very challenging), once you are happy with your form you can add colour.

Start with a freehand (no tracing, cheeky!) circle. Then make the rhombus-like shape, notice the curved edges rather than straight. Add the central shape that follows the lines that you just made and colour it in. Lastly, the curly line. Start at the top point, you will need a curly loop at each point of the curved edge rhombus, as well as one in between. See how the line also goes on the inside of the circle, but doesn't touch the lines of the curved edge rhombus.
