Have a look at this lesson on synonyms and antonyms. These are an important part of language that we need to be able to recognise and use.

When you have finished the lesson, read the next few pages of Holes and see if the author has used any synonyms or antonyms well to make the language interesting.

 

Maths

Today we are going to look at capacity and volume. These are measure words used to describe liquid.

Capacity is the MAXIMUM amount of liquid something can hold. This is when the container is completely full and no more liquid can be added.

Volume is the amount of liquid inside something. This could be when a bottle is half full or ¼ full or completely full, it doesn’t matter.

Try this game to help you read scales for volume and capacity.

Let’s apply this learning to real life. Create your own drink using liquids you find around the house, write down the recipe and give it a name.

If you want to try mine, it is called the “Summer blast” and has the following ingredients:

• 200ml orange juice.
• 20ml lime juice
• one apple
• 5 raspberries
• 5 ice cubes
• Tsp honey

Blend it all up until it is smooth and drink in the sun.

 

Again, let me know what you make and send me some photos.
