River Runs Free
LI: To identify the language features in the poem
River runs free river runs free
along the rocky ridge and down
towards the sea.
River runs free river runs free
like the wind and birds
and you and me.
As the slow sky turns
and the deep sun burns
and the dark earth
rests beneath.
river runs free river runs free
like a glittering seam of stars.
As the leaves draw light
from the woven air
and the grass drinks hard
from the frozen soil.
River runs free towards the sea
like a rope of silver silk.
As the quiet fish dive
and the birds alight
and the jungle
sings with life.
River runs free with you and me
and the horizon calling endlessly.

Last show in town
Agricultural and royal shows are enjoyed by children and adults in every state and territory of Australia. The Royal Easter Show is one of the oldest shows in Australia. After 115 years at the Moore Park Showground site, the Royal Easter Show has moved to Homebush Bay. The Royal Easter Show has had a colourful history as demonstrated by the following facts.
1822: The human population of the colony is about 30,000 (half of whom were convicts) when the first Agricultural Society is formed by a group of important citizens at a meeting in George Street. The aim of the society is to improve the quality of Australia's farm produce by means of a competition.
1823: The first show is held at Parramatta Park, where William Bull, a servant, receives cash prizes for good behaviour and faithful service. servants are not judged until 1825.
1869: The show moves to Prince Alfred Park, near Central Station, then known as Cleveland paddocks.
1882: Moore Park becomes a new venue for the Royal Easter Show. 1884: The show gets electric lighting, allowing it to open in the evenings. |
1899: The first woodchopping event is held in a paddock that doubled as a cattle judging ring.1900: The showbag is introduced at the same time as the bubonic plague was ravaging Sydney, killing 113 — the plague, that is, not the showbags.
1942-46: The show is closed down for World War II. 1954: The Queen addresses 100,000 school children, while freak shows and animals in captivity are banned from sideshow alley. 1970: The Holden Precision Driving Team makes its debut in cars called HT Monaros. 1994: Homebush Bay is confirmed as the new venue. 1997: The last Royal Easter Show is held at Moore Park. 1998: The Show opens at Homebush Bay using the slogan ‘Bringing the bush home to Homebush’. |

Maths Revision T4
Order of Operations
LI: To solve linear equations that involve brackets
Remember the sequence of operations (BODMAS) – it will help!
12 x (3 + 4) = 84
14 x (8 ÷ 4) = 38
35 - (2 + 2) = 31
25 - (3 x 4) = 13
25 - 3 x 4 = 13
1 + 2 x 5 = 15
(1 + 2) x 5 = 15
1 + (2 x 5) = 11
4 - 2 x 2 = 0
3 ÷ (1 x 3) = 1
40 ÷ 5 x 11 = 88
(40 ÷ 5) x 11 = 88
2 x 3 ÷ 6 = 1
2 + 3 x 3 = 15
(2 + 3) x 5 = 25
8 ÷ (2 x 2) = 2
8 ÷ 2 x 2 = 8
8 + (2 x 2) = 12
8 + 2 x 2 = 12
(8 ÷ 2) x 2 = 8
2 + 3 x 5 = 25
(2 + 3) x 5 = 25
2 + (3 x 5) =30
3 x 5 ÷ 3 = 5
3 x (5 ÷ 3) = 5.01
3 x (3 + 4) =21
4 ÷ (2 + 2) = 1
12 - (2 + 2) = 8
12 - 2 + 2 = 8
(12 -2) + 2 = 12
Decimal Revision
LI: To multiply decimals by 10, 100
eg: 0.53 x 10 = 5.3
0.23 x 10 = 2.3
0.023 x 100 = 2.3
0.076 x 100 = 7.6
0.76 x 10 = 7.6
7.6 x 10= 76
0.15 x 100 = 1.5
1.5 x 10 = 15
0.15 x 10 = 1.5
2.44 x 10 = 24.4
0.244 x 100 = 24.4
Expanded Numbers
LI: To write out the expanded form of these numbers
eg: 3456 can be written as 3000 + 400 + 50 + 6

2,330 = 2000+300+30+0
6,764 = 6000+700+60+4
544 = 500+40+4
9,235 =9000+200+30+5
8,897 = 8000+800+90+7
5,001 = 5000+000+00+1
5,009 = 5000+000+00+9
887 = 800+80+7
