Learning+extension

Learning extension due: 1 June 2010 Look familiar? Great!

1. Read for at least 20 minutes every night, weekends optional.

2. Draw up a grid in your workbook with each day’s date and the title of the book that you are reading. Get Mum or Dad to sign each time you read for 20 minutes.

3. Write out three families of facts (eg. 6 x 8 = 48, 8 x 6 = 48, 48 ÷ 6 = 8, 48 ÷ 8 = 6. This is one family of facts.) every night for 8 nights. Date your work each time. Don’t do the same sets as last week. You might like to try some others such as: 123 + 19 = 142, 19 + 123 = 142, 142 – 123 = 9, 142 – 9 = 123

4. Choose an article from a newspaper. (You could even use one of the free newspapers that come through your letter-box.) Fix the article into your book. Rewrite the report in your own words giving a different point of view, just like you did in your class writing. (If you are unsure about this, see me.) You need to write accurately and using paragraphs. Check your work thoroughly!
