If you’d prefer to read an actual book, try ‘Stinky Street.’ Note, this eBook won’t work on mobile phones so you'll have to use a computer, laptop or tablet. I’m deliberately picking a short book so that you can focus on a few pages every day and finish the book in a week

• Go to https://www.oxfordowl.co.uk/

• Click My class login

• Class name - 4^th Class 2020 (Make sure you use a capital letter for Class)

• Class password - Mrs. Veale (Capital letter for Mrs. and Veale, have a space between them and don’t forget the full stop after Mrs.)

• Click My Bookshelf

• Type Stinky Street in the Search box and click Go

• Then click on the book to start reading.

Again, it’s really important to read out loud, with someone. Use the blue buttons on the bottom right of the screen to turn the pages. You don’t have to read every page 5 times but maybe pick a page or two that you found a little difficult and read those several times. Ask your mum/dad to ask you a few questions about your book to make sure you’re understanding what you’re reading.

For those that come to me for Maths

Capacity is our topic for this week. This is all about measuring how much liquid is held in a container. The units of measurements most commonly used are litres and millilitres, often seen as l or ml on the sides of containers. Take a look around your house and see if you can find two different litre containers, two different 500ml containers and one 250ml container. Look at containers for milk, orange juice, water, measuring jugs, shampoo, washing up liquid, cooking oil, etc. What else can you find?

How much fuel is in the rocket?

Use this game to practise reading amounts of rocket fuel in litres and millilitres - https://www.ictgames.com/mobilePage/capacity/index.html

Each day, click on a different answer bar e.g. answers in steps of 100ml on Monday, answers in steps of 50ml on Tuesday etc. You'll have to read the scale very carefully to get the right answer. See how many rockets you can launch.

Ordering Amounts

https://www.topmarks.co.uk/ordering-and-sequencing/coconut-ordering will help you order the amounts from smallest to largest.

• On the first screen, click Capacity in the top right corner.

• Then select Up to 1000ml

• Click on the coconuts to order them.

The next time you open this game, select Up to 1l (2dp) or Up to 10l (1dp). This will get you ordering amounts of liquid with one or 2 decimal places.

Remember: 1,000ml=1l, 500ml=0.5l, 250ml=0.25l, 100ml=0.1l.
