YEAR 6 · TERM 1 · WEEK 9
Critical River Evidence
Read, think, write, solve and play. Try your own answer before checking. You can have another go.
LEARN & PRACTISE
Word explorer
Read each word. Look for parts you know. Type each word to practise its spelling.
READ & UNDERSTAND
Reading detective
A council monitoring chart shows that water clarity often decreases after heavy rainfall. A student suggests rain may wash sediment into the river. Another student points out that a pattern does not prove one cause, because construction, river flow and other changes may also matter. The class writes a careful inference and lists data it still needs.
WRITE & IMPROVE
Writing studio
Write a claim-evidence-reasoning paragraph and identify an alternative explanation.
Plan one idea, explain it and check that your sentences make sense. You can edit your writing.
TRY THE EXAMPLE FIRST
Maths mission
A clarity score falls from 82.5 to 67.2. The decrease is 15.3.
APPLY YOUR LEARNING
Real-world mission
Make a fictional four-week line graph of water clarity and rainfall. Describe a pattern without claiming proof.
You can also draw or make the activity away from the screen. Record what you did or what you would make.
SKILL GAME · TAKE YOUR TIME
Challenge gate
Use what you learnt to unlock the gate. There's no timer. Mistakes help you find what to try again.
LOOK BACK
How did you go?
Choose what feels right. This isn't a test and there is no wrong answer.
Ka rawe — your learning is saved!
You can return to any activity to improve your work.
