Writing INTRODUCTION TO INFORMATIVE TEXTS

TASK ONE: Read the text, The Midnight Thunderstorm.

TASK TWO: After reading the text, answer the following questions:

• What type of text is this?

____________________________________________________________________________________________

• How do you know?

____________________________________________________________________________________________

____________________________________________________________________________________________

• What is the text about?

____________________________________________________________________________________________

____________________________________________________________________________________________

• What would you need to do to transform an imaginative text about thunderstorms into an informative text about thunderstorms? Brainstorm your ideas below.

TASK THREE: Read the informative text, All About Thunderstorms (on the next page).

TASK FOUR: After reading the text, answer the following questions:

• What do the imaginary text and the informative text have in common?

____________________________________________________________________________________________

____________________________________________________________________________________________

• What is different about the two texts?

____________________________________________________________________________________________

Science Energy

Read the information below and highlight important words • Movement: describes the displacement of an object in time and space.

• Electrical: describes the displacement of electrons around a closed circuit. • Light: describes electro-magnetic radiation that is detected by the retina in the eye.

• Heat: describes the speed at which particles in matter vibrate. The hotter something is, the more energy its particles have and the more vigorously they vibrate.

• Microwaves: describes electromagnetic radiation of high frequency and short wavelength that can cause particles such as water molecules to vibrate faster.

• Sound: describes waves of pressure travelling through solids, liquids or gases that our ears perceive as sound.

• Elastic: describes how certain materials stretch when they are pulled (have opposing forces applied), and store the applied energy. They have the ability to then spring back to their original shape, transforming stored energy to movement energy

• Gravitational: describes how any object near Earth that is not restrained in any way, will drop towards the Earth’s centre. Gravitational energy, as it is used here, is a measure relative to position. A book on a high shelf is said to have more ‘gravitational’ energy than one on a low shelf, since when it falls from the shelf the higher one will gain more movement energy as it falls.

• Chemical: describes the fact that all chemicals have a certain amount of energy in the bonds that hold the atoms together. For example, complex carbohydrates and fats have high energy bonds that animals and plants break down to release energy.

• Nuclear: describes the energy released when the nuclei of atoms are split (fission) and/or combined (fusion). The Sun is a site of nuclear fusion where hydrogen atom nuclei fuse to form a helium atom nucleus, releasing radiations of many types, including light, heat waves and ultraviolet radiations, that are so energetic they can burn skin and/or damage DNA.

Task: Create a word cloud using the key words you highlighted. Word cloud is on the ABCYA website https://www.abcya.com/games/word_clouds Upload your word cloud to teams. Alternatively, if you do not have access to a device and the internet, complete the word cloud on the following page.

Stage 3 PE Introduction – Movement Sequences

This term in PE you will be learning all about movement sequences. You will develop and practice the skills

needed to design one yourself!

So, what is a movement sequence?!

A movement sequence is something that helps keep kids physically active. It is the combination of fundamental movement skills and movement elements to

enable the body to move in a sequence. We see movement sequences in dance, yoga and sports.

First, let’s brainstorm: What do you know already? If you’re not sure, have a guess What are examples of static and dynamic balances? What are examples of locomotor and non-locomotor movements? Locomotor movements: Non-locomotor movements: What are examples of pushing and pulling movements?

A movement sequence should include: - locomotor and nonlocomotor skills - static and dynamic balances - pushing and pulling movements

These are things you will be learning about over the term

Activities: 1. Find a definition of the word ‘sequence’ and write it below. 2. Click on the link to see an example of a movement sequence (Yoga). Please watch

the video and follow along with the sequence of moves. Make sure you have room to stretch out! Record the sequence of yoga moves with their correct names. https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=55&v=NG6AETms3qw&feature=emb_logo
