Home Learning Activities Grade 4/5 – MS ALISON    Due: Friday 1st May

Create a google doc titled (Your name) Homework due 1st May

and share it with Ms Alison. Please add all pieces of homework on this one document.

	Unit of Inquiry -  How We Organise Ourselves: CI: Markets operate in response to supply and demand. Plan a time when you can meet with a family member or acquaintance who owns or works in a small business selling goods or services. Design 5-10 questions to ask this person and record these questions on your Homework doc for this week. Complete the interview and record your answers on the same google doc under each question. You will share what you have learned about small business with the class on Friday.
	Reading - Read for 20 mins + each day and complete your class reading log.
	Math - Measurement: Measurement: Weight Grade 4: This week we are exploring mass and will be having fun measuring things on the scales and starting to develop a "feel" for the weight of different items.   You are asked to bring items to school that you think would be a useful benchmark for 1kg, 500g, 250g and 100g. Look around your house and estimate the weight of some items. Record in a table on a google doc or in your homework book. Bring to school an example of what you estimate will weigh 1kg, 500g, 250g and 100 g. We will weigh these items and check the accuracy of your estimates. Grade 5: Volume This week we are learning about metric measures of volume. TASK: Plan a time with your parents to go grocery shopping OR help whoever does the shopping put items away when they return OR if you cannot do either of the above then spend some time looking in your pantry, food cupboard or fridge. Your job is to estimate the volume in millilitres and litres of bottled items, then read labels to check out how close you were with your estimates. Record both your estimate and the actual volume in a table on a google doc or in your homework book.
	Writing: The art of persuasion Using the format we have used class write a persuasive piece. Write a persuasive letter - minimum 3 paragraphs to me (Ms Alison). Do you think it is a good idea OR not a good idea for students to work in groups on a Marketplace Minecraft activity. You need to consider: How is Marketplace Minecraft going to link to your current school work? What things you might learn or practice from using it? How is Minecraft better than other lessons we could do in the computer lab? Which learner profiles and attitudes it might help you practice and develop? You need to clearly state your opinion in the introduction. You will also need 3 arguments that support your opinion (one per paragraph) or 2 arguments and one counter argument.
