Grade 3/6 Fitness Challenges

There are many ways of maintaining fitness and the below table gives you various options to try over the next 2 weeks, (week 6 & 7). Choose any activities that you like and keep a record of which ones that you do. Remember that you should be spending 25/30 minutes each Monday being active but regular daily exercise is recommended for your physical and mental well being.

Make sure that you check with your parents first before starting any activities!

If you are choosing the Scavenger Hunt then go down to the second page for one to use or make up your own.

Have fun and keep active!!

Art - Tuesday

Task: We are continuing to look at the element of art light and shade, also called value. We will keep going with our light and shade exercises to help us develop our drawing techniques. This week, we will do a task to develop the skills we learnt last lesson. 

Below is an example of what I would like you to do. You can either print out the sheet provided and have a go shading the 3D shapes, or you can draw the outline of the shapes and shade them in. Notice some sides of the shapes are darker than others. 

Reflection:

Looking at your 3D shapes that you have shaded in. Where do you think the light source would be coming from? Which side of the page? 

LOTE Italian - Wednesday

Week 6

Parent tips:  Next week is Italian week, therefore all students may like to dress in the colours green white and red  for their Friday google meets. There is a video on making pizza  and it would be great if they could all have pizza for lunch and gelato for a treat. 

Here is a link  pizza recipe on how to make the best homemade  pizza. You may want to give this a try next week.

Italian Apps Molto bene and ABC learn Italian maybe used along with the

activities set.Molto bene app has games and interactive activities which the students love to

work on.There is also a Department website called Languagesonline (Italian). However you

will need to be on a computer to use this as it needs Flash abode to link into the interactive

GRADE 3 - WEEK 6

Hi Grade 3s,

In today’s lesson you’re going to develop your understanding of posture, gesture, gait and mannerism, and start to learn how to use these in performing and sustaining your monologue character.

For today’s lesson, you’ll need your notebook (or paper) and a pencil. You’ll also need to be able to access the internet to watch some short YouTube clips.

 Task 1: Take a look at the following pictures and try to change your facial expressions and/or body language so that your face/body looks like and is in the same position as the one in the picture:

Can you guess what each character is thinking or feeling by the way they use their facial expressions or body language?

Think:  What have you learned from copying these characters?

Remember: In order to portray a good character, it’s important to pay attention to small details

Task 2: Watch the following clips on GESTURE, POSTURE, MANNERISMS and GAIT.

In each clip, I will explain what each of these means and what you will need to consider when you are showing these elements in your monologue character.

1. Gestures clip- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e_vZZuacM6w
2. Posture clip- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JN934siiTE8
3. Mannerisms Clip- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YRiXEUa9Gmc
4. Gait Clip- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7tQ8Hzsp_0c

Task 3: So, just to re-cap:

Gesture is a movement of a part of the body to express meaning or an idea (usually hands or upper body).

Posture refers to the position in which a person is standing or sitting.

Gait is the way a person walks.

Mannerisms are a person’s habits in the way the move, speak or behave.

Your task is to create each of these characters:

1. A crazy scientist
2. A strict teacher
3. A superhero

You must decide on a clear gait, posture, gestures and mannerisms for each character.

Create a 20 second scene for each character that demonstrates a clear understanding of each of these terms.

Challenge: Choose ONE of your characters to show to another family member. Don’t tell them which character you are. Can they guess who you are by the gestures, posture, gait, and mannerisms of your character??
