DAY 1 L.O 31.10 Summarise information from a non-fiction text.
Objectives:
 After reading a non-fiction text, students will be able to summarize it into 3-4 lines.
Content and one example
A summary is a short description of the most important ideas and information in a text. A good nonfiction summary
focuses on the important details and facts that help you best understand the text.

Tips: • Include the main idea. • Ignore the little details. Pay attention to major facts. • Use key terms from the text.

Day 1 Instructions : Read the non-fiction text below then write a 3-4 sentence summary on the lines
provided. Writing a Non-fiction Summary: Sharks
Sharks are known as the fiercest fish in the ocean. Sharks have been around for about 400 million years and
are the top ocean predators. At the top of the food chain, sharks are feared by swimmers. However, these -
fish are also fascinating creatures. You probably know sharks have very sharp teeth, but did you know they
never run out of them? If a shark loses a tooth, another moves forward from within the shark’s jaw where it
keeps a nearly unlimited supply of replacement teeth. This way, it’s almost impossible for a shark to end up
without a full set of teeth. This is a phenomenon unique to the shark. No other animal in the world has teeth
quite like the shark’s. A shark can go through as many as 20,000 teeth in its lifetime! While sharks
have a reputation for being fierce and dangerous, not all sharks are ferocious carnivores. Some of
the largest sharks are the most harmless. For example, the basking shark and the whale shark are
two of the largest types of sharks, but they eat plankton. These sharks could be considered
“gentle giants.” Some sharks are truly dangerous. The great white shark and the tiger
shark are just two of the most well-
known hunters. On the other
hand, humans are also
hunters. People kill
thousands of sharks a
year to make food and
products to sell. Who do you
think are the most dangerous
predators? Directions:

Representatives. Evidence submitted to the Committee was made available to the Conference.
Between

Science
Date: Week 2 (April 19-23, 2021) Class: Std IV
L.O: 31.1 Students will be able to recognize features of some plants and animals that enable them to float or fly. (e.g.,
observe animals, plants and plant seeds - ducks, water lilies, seed pods, birds - and identify the features of the plant,
animal or plant seed that help them to float or fly – light weight, feathers, impermeable/water-tight surfaces, air
bubbles or sacs, ability to flatten the body, long wings, body shape)

Objectives: Students will be able to recognize features of animals that enable them to fly.
Content and Examples:

A number of animals are capable of aerial locomotion (self-generated movements of any animal through the air)
, either by powered flight or by gliding. 

The only animals that can truly fly are birds, insects, and bats. Other
animals manage to travel through the air by gliding from great heights
or leaping from the depths. Here are a few examples : Flying Mobulas,
Flying Lemurs ,Flying Fish, Flying snake, Flying Gecko, Flying Frog,
 Flying Squirrel.

Each flying animal species has its own way of flying according to its
physical characteristics, but most of these animals must have a series
of common features that allow flight:

 Wings: all flying animals have wings. In some cases, these wings
are modifications of the previous members of the body, such as
17 in birds or flying mammals (bats).Where the bones have been modified throughout the evolution providing the

 Low weight: so that an animal can fly you cannot be very heavy. Birds have reduced the weight of their bones
