The second is the reading. You will need to log into the Oxford Owl website and find the correct coloured book for your child. Your child should read the book 3 times before moving on, so that they become increasingly confident.

If you are in guided reading, please read the next chapter of George's Marvellous Medicine by Roald Dahl and answer the questions in full sentences.  We look forward to reading your answers. 

9:30-10:30 

Maths – volume and capacity  

LO: to understand volume and capacity  

SC1: I can explain what volume means. 

SC2: I can explain what capacity means. 

SC3: I can solve volume and capacity problems.  

We have thought about measurement. Can you tell an adult what measurement means?  

We have looked at weight and mass. Can you tell an adult what weight and mass mean?  

Today we are going to look at 2 more types of measurement. These are called volume and capacity, and these are usually used for measuring liquids. What are liquids?  

Watch this video tutorial: https://youtu.be/4ZfOre7TMPE.    

Capacity: 

The capacity is how much a container can hold.  

  

The bath holds more water than the water bottle, so the bath has a bigger capacity. Can you find 2 containers in your home and explain to an adult which one has a bigger capacity? 

Volume: 

The volume is how much a container is holding.  

We use the words: full, empty, half full, nearly full, nearly empty to describe the volume.  

Have a go at matching these words to the correct bottle:  

You could find a bottle or container in your home and see if you can fill it to these different volumes.  

Task 1 

Complete these questions: 

Challenge 1: if a cup is empty, does it have any capacity or volume? 

Task 2 

Challenge 2: 

 

Key words: capacity, volume, full, half full, empty. 

10:30-11:00 

Break time/snack time  

11:00-12:00 

English 

Prefix ‘un’ 

LO: to understand prefixes.  

SC1: I can recall what a root word is.  

SC2: I know what a prefix is.  

SC3: I know the prefix ‘un’ makes the word the opposite of the root word.  

 

This week we have been learning all about suffixes. Today we are focusing on a prefix.  

A suffix comes at the end of a word and a prefix goes at the beginning of the word.  

 

The prefix un makes the word opposite to the root word.  

Example: Happy – unhappy  

 

Watch this video about the prefix ‘un’: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xfEUgf2Enpk  

 

Task: 

Read the story. What could be a relevant ending to the story? Now add in the suffix un onto the bold words in the story. Explain how it has changed the meaning. What could be a relevant ending now? 

 

Once there was a very     kind girl. She lived in a       happy village. She went on a walk into the      safe forest, where she met a       tidy wolf.

Outdoor learning 

Make natural art 

To mix things up, put pencils and crayons to one side and look for natural art materials instead. Collect fallen leaves, petals and sticks and use them to make a picture or sculpture. 

You could even use the objects as 'stampers' or paintbrushes - dipping them in paint and rolling, brushing or stamping them on paper to create interesting patterns and effects. 

Butterfly symmetry art 

This craft has the wow factor! All you need is paint and some paper. Simply splodge paint on one half of your paper and fold it in half so the paint spreads on both sides. Carefully open it up to reveal a beautiful butterfly. 

Once dry, your butterfly will make a cheerful decoration for your home. Or you could even turn it into a card to send to a grandparent you won't see for a while. 

Move like minibeasts 

 You can do it outdoors or inside.  Challenge: 

  • lie on the ground and wriggle like a worm 

  • flap their arms like a butterfly flutters its wings 

  • put their hands on the floor and scuttle about like a spider 

  • do some giant leaps like a cricket 

  • crawl on the floor then curl up into a ball like a woodlouse. 

 

Can you move like a different animal? What are you doing? Can you explain it to someone? 

3:00-3:15
