How did you get on?
Here is today’s starter…
Main Activity
In our third lesson on volume, we will be combing our new knowledge of cubic units and our work from lesson one on volume. We will work on understanding what cubic centimetre looks like in real life and have a go at estimating the volume of objects we see every day.
Have a look at the link below – look through the video and then have a go at the independent activities. Don’t forget to pause the video when asked to complete the questions in the video!

For extra practice or for a challenge, have a look at the following activity. There are three levels of difficulty so choose the level most suitable for you! 🙂
Wednesday’s Writing Task
This week we will be using ‘OAK ACADEMY’ to look at diary entries.
Today’s task is about exploring the features of a diary entry.
Watch the video and complete the independent activities linked to it on the slides.
Make a note of any of the language that you like – you might be able to use it when it comes to writing your own.

Wednesday’s Topic
In this lesson, we are going to become geologists! We have some problems to solve which are going to require us to make careful observations and construct an identification key to help us to identify different rocks. You will need a piece of paper, a pencil and a ruler for this lesson.
