Week D
Stage 3
These learning activities are designed to be completed in sequence beginning on Monday
Daily Prayer
Religious Education
Learning Intention
We are learning about why Jesus was referred to as King and what that means for us today.
Success Criteria
I will know I am successful when I:
can name the liturgical seasons of the Catholic church:
can connect feast days to liturgical seasons
S3 demonstrate an understanding and appreciation of prayer as a means of recognising the centrality of God in our lives and as being expressed in special ways during liturgical feasts and seasons.
You will need
Paper
Device
Activity
Read about the Liturgical Seasons.
In your books create three columns.
Column 1: Write the following list.
Good Friday
first Sunday of Advent
Holy Saturday
Ash Wednesday
Epiphany
Christmas
Feast of All Saints
Palm Sunday
Feast of All Souls
Holy Thursday
Pentecost
Easter Sunday
Column 2: Research the 2022 dates of the feast days.
Column 3: Find the Liturgical season, you may like to use the info graphic sheet
Questions to support my thinking
Activity too hard?
Use this site to help you locate the colours of each liturgical season. Create a table using the feast day list above. Use your colour pencils to record the colour of the following feast days.
Activity too easy?
Create a liturgical wheel. See sample here
The information in the wheel should be:
Liturgical season
Feast day
Liturgical colour
Describe the key event(s) in Jesus’ life associated with each season of the liturgical year.
English
Learning Intention
We are learning to identify how an author uses third-person narrative voice to engage the reader in a story.
Success Criteria
I will know I am successful when I:
Identify language features found in the third person narrative voice.
Identify and interpret a character’s actions, inner thoughts and inner feelings.
Justify my responses using evidence from a text.
Aligned to English outcomes
EN3-5B:
Discusses how language is used to achieve a widening range of purposes for a widening range of audiences and contexts.
Activity
Open the Google slides (on the right) and follow the written and audio prompts to complete your English learning activities for today.
Independent Reading as outlined on the slides.
Independent Writing as outlined on the slides.
Questions to support my thinking
Activity too hard?
Pax was alert right from the beginning of the story. In the very first paragraph which senses was Pax using that told him this was not an everyday outing in the car? Which words tell you that?
Activity too easy?
How does telling the story from Pax’s point of view build suspense and hook readers into the story?

Mathematics
Learning Intention
We are learning to locate points on a Cartesian plane.
Success Criteria
I will know I am successful when I:
plot points on the Cartesian plane
find the coordinates of given points
use my knowledge of coordinates to identify squares with a horizontal and vertical orientation.
Aligned to Mathematics outcomes
MA3-8NA: Analyses and creates geometric and number patterns, constructs and completes number sentences, and locates points on the Cartesian plane.

Activity
Finding Squares
Some squares are hidden in the Cartesian plane. Each square has sides that are parallel to the x-axis and y-axis (i.e. horizontal and vertical).
There are 47 points marked in the plane. Three of these cannot be a vertex of a square.
What are the coordinates of these three points? Why can’t they be a vertex of a square?
The eight points shown in red indicate vertices that are used by two different squares.
Questions to ask yourself:
How many squares are there? Draw in all of the squares.
What is the side length of the smallest square? What are the coordinates of its four vertices?
What is the side length of the largest square?
What are the coordinates of its four vertices?
How many squares of side length 4 are there?
Questions to support my thinking
Activity too hard?
One of the squares has a side length of 1 unit. Can you find it?
This square shares a corner with another square. Can you find it?
How can you use this thinking to help you find other squares?
All the squares have side lengths that are parallel to the x-axis and y-axis. Look at the outer parts of each quadrant. Can you find any points that must be the corners of a square? Use this to help you find other squares. For example: points (–2, –9) and (4, –9).
