Convicts and some great books
Our Year Fives have been working on Convicts and it has been really hard to locate books that are suitable for them to access.
Tony and I went to Tasmania for the first week of our Spring break and spent a day at Port Arthur and they had a great little Book Shop. So I picked up these great books.
Port Arthur is an eerie place to be!
After the holidays I will share them with my grade, but then store them for the next time we do Convicts.
The A-Z is amazing and the kids will love the easy access to information.
The novel - Escape to Eaglehawk is written for kids
These two have almost a double page of facts on a convict - this would have been so helpful when we were doing our convict files. We relied on good ol' google, which was great, but these would have been so useful.
Year 5 History in Australia is heavily based on Convict history and if you need some support to deliver the topic - this product will help you out.
There are lots of photos to help guide you through the interactive file.
Falling for Fall
I have just posted my pack for Fall - and for those who have Autumn, there are pages included to enable you to use this pack too.
I have marked it down to 50% for two days only ( 26th - 28th Sept, Sunday evening Aussie time)
This pack contains 135 pages and has 5 English and 5 Math tasks for
K-1. It helps to celebrate the Fall/Autumn season and builds on the need to use
adjectives.
English Tasks
Word Wall- This will help you to brainstorm words about fall/autumn for
your grade to use in writing tasks.
Adjectives- Recording sheets to draw and then list the adjectives for
all things autumn/fall
Mini book- This will give you two books. Copy and staple where the two
marks are, then cut in half. Children can record what they see, hear, touch,
smell and taste during this season. There is a cover for Fall and one for
Autumn.
Matching - There are two sets – one in full color and one in a ‘save my
ink’’ version. Color copy, laminate and cut the cards. Store in a small bag. Match
the lower case to the capital letter

in the pumpkin patch, A Hay Ride, Down on
the Farm, A huge sneeze, Template to make your own writing topic, An

Roll and cover - Use a 6 sided dice - roll and cover. There are three additional sets that ask you to +1, +2 and double the number rolled
Jigsaw- These eight sets will give each student a chance to explore counting patterns for 1, 2, odds, evens, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 10’s. Color copy and cut along the lines. Then match up the patterns to put the picture together.
How many leaves on the ground? Work out how many leaves on the ground? Color copy and laminate, then display around the room. Read the equations and use the leaves like a number line.
Record your answer on the answer sheet.
Time to Eat Apples - Color copy and laminate, one set is o’clock, one set is half past. Spread them out and match the correct labels.
Meeting a blogger and TPT'er
We are on our spring break and Tony and I have taken a break and flown to Hobart for a few days. This is the first time in almost 20 years that we have been on our own - minus our two children. They are both now old enough to fend for themselves. (Almost 20 and 18)
So when we finalised going interstate, Tania and I then planned to catch up. It so nice to meet someone and get on straight away. We shared a very nice glass of wine and many laughs.
That was yesterday, today Tony and I went to the museum and there was Tania on an excursion. Tasmania starts their break this Friday. So I got see her twice!
Tania is from http://poultneytania.blogspot.com.au
