Class 5 Treehouse: Thursday

Preposition

Conjunction

Kia ora dear whānau

Welcome to our second to last day of learning in the treehouse. I haven't put a lot in today, just the usual form drawing, spelling and math so that you can work on your presentations for Monday. Hopefully some of you may be able to get together for a play date, others will probably carry on as usual, some will go out visiting relatives, and some will do other exciting things. Whatever your day holds, I hope you enjoy doing it.

Form drawing:

Form 12:

Start with a big circle, then add a small circle at the top, and another at the bottom.

Next I want you to find the midpoint of the big circle and make two more circles that almost meet in the middle. Then make another two circles, this time they will almost reach the small circle on the other side, see where my pencil is? That is about the distance you need from the small circle...

Next you are going to do the last two circles, these ones come into the small circle on the other side about two thirds in, see where my pencil is this time? That's where the line will go.

Now, colour! Pick colours that look good blended, as they are going to overlap. I've chosen a range of yellow to blue and greens in the middle.... Outline your lines, then fill your gaps carefully.

I've added photos of my stages in colouring, this is a bit tricky...

But then if you persevere you should hopefully end up with something like this at the end!

Spelling:

Thursday: Categorise 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 dictionary if stuck.

Look at the wonderful work I was sent yesterday, clever people!

You probably only need one guess of who created this very clever clip, it has over 100 pictures in it and she made it all by herself... Our extremely talented master of dragons, Fiona!
