Today’s Time Table

*Children’s Mental Health Week*

This week’s timetable will look a bit different, as it is Children’s Mental Health Week there will be some different activities each day that give you time to ‘Express Yourself’ through a variety of activities as this year’s focus is about expressing yourself.

Please be aware that I will be making calls to parents today for consultations, I will get back to you on Class Dojo during the day when I can. Live lessons will still be taught at the usual times.

9:10-10:10

Maths

Volume and Capacity

Google Classroom at 9:10 for the first 15 minutes (Click the Meet Link). Please attend.

We will be revisiting volume and capacity again today to ensure that you are secure in the both ways in which we find it and the difference between volume and capacity.

Remember that when you are given the length, height and depth you need to multiply them all together – this will give you your total volume.

When you are finding the capacity you are finding the amount of liquid that can fit into a certain space like a bottle, jug or can for example.

The capacity of the jug is 1 litre as this is how much liquid it can hold. The jug is currently holding 750ml of juice as the marker is exactly half way between 700 and 800ml.

Please note on the first worksheet you only need to complete the first page and there's even a practical activity for you to complete today too. 

10:30-10:50

Quiet Reading Time – Bug Club

Find a comfortable spot for your reading or you may want to find an unusual place for a change. Ask your adult to send me a picture of you reading in your spot or tell me where it is on Class Dojo.

Make sure you have your reading record signed by an adult at home to show that you have kept up your reading and send over a picture on Class Dojo, this will earn you more dojos.

10:50 – 11:50
