Hi everyone,

So sorry about the delay on fourth class work list this week. I needed a replacement laptop and could only get access to the school today. Thank you for your patience and understanding. I'm going to put up work for today also but absolutely no pressure to get any of the work done, please just do what you can.

 

Many thanks,

Ms. Loane

1. Give the children plenty of opportunities to measure quantities of water. It is through hands-on measuring that they become truly familiar with capacity. This experience is of huge value in problem solving by helping them to recognise that an answer might be ‘ridiculous’, e.g. they wrongly calculate that the capacity of a bottle is 18.7 litres! They should realise that such an answer is not likely to be right and should be revised. 2. Underpin work involving operations on capacity with real-life action. How much water will we have if we pour 0.7 litres on top of the 0.8 litres. Let’s do it and see.

Activity A: Place a counter on the picture that best matches the sentence: 1. I am the same as 1 litre. (1,000m¬) 2. Wasting water (running tap) emphasises that brushing teeth is important. 3. I hold 500m¬. (milk carton) 4. I hold about 5m¬. (teaspoon) 5. ____ teaspoons might fill an egg cup. (10) 6. I hold around 400m¬. (cup) 7. Petrol is sold by the ____. (litre) 8. Use these to measure small amounts of liquid. (millilitres) 9. I hold about 50m¬. (eggcup) 10. 500m¬ is the same as ____. (1 2 litre) 11. A bath holds ____. (more than 25 litres) 12. You would fit lots of litres in me. (barrel)

 

Starlight 14b pg 164 – 166 Read story. Pg167 A

 

Ask children if they have ever read or heard a Paul Bunyan story. Explain that Paul Bunyan is a mythical giant lumberjack from American stories known as ‘tall tales’. In these stories, the writer has fun playing with exaggerations and highly descriptive language, and a lot of the humour comes from this. Ask children to scan p. 164 for examples of exaggerations and unusual language. (Examples: ‘mightiest, strongest and best’, ‘boomed so loudly that it emptied a whole pond full of frogs’, etc.) Ask children if they think the writer wants the reader to take this story seriously. Ask children to explain their answer.

The teacher might call out something that can be measured and the child identifies what unit of measurement to use, e.g. milk – litres and millilitres, petrol – litres, ribbon – metres and centimetres. 

 

Starlight 14b pg 164 – 166 re-read story. Pg 167 B

Ask children to pick out one detail on p. 165 that really helps them build up a mental picture of Paul. Challenge them to describe their mental picture and explain how the detail helped them to form it.

Ask children why they think Babe and Paul became such great friends. What did they have in common (enormous size, brave attitude, massive appetite, etc.)

Topic suggestions 

1. Estimating games are always great fun. For example, to play an individual or team game, with as many players as you like on a team: Pour a quantity of water into a vessel and the children have to estimate the amount. The nearer the estimate, the more points are earned. You might have a scoring scheme as follows: Within 300ml of actual amount: 1 point Within 200ml of actual amount: 2 points Within 100ml of actual amount: 3 points 2. Vary the game by using vessels of different shapes and sizes. You can test their understanding of conservation by pouring a known amount of liquid from a squat container to a tall container and asking if the quantity increased or reduced. 

 

Starlight 14b pg167 C

Ask children to look at the phrase ‘one swishing swing of his axe’. Why do they think the author chose the words ‘swishing swing’? Point out that it is an example of alliteration (‘swishing swing’) and also onomatopoeia, as the word ‘swishing’ sounds like the sound the axe would make. Challenge children to find another phrase in the story where they could add alliteration.

Give the children two imaginary containers and ask them to list the quantities they could correctly measure. The containers should have no markings and should only measure full litre quantities. For example, suppose you have a 2-litre and a 5-litre container. You could measure: 1. 2l, 4l, 6l, 8l, 10l, etc. (i.e. 2 + 2 + 2 …)

2. 5l, 10l, 15l, 20l, 25l, etc. (i.e. 5 + 5 + 5 …) 

3. 7l, 14l, 21l, 28l, 35l, etc.(i.e. 2 + 5 + 2 + 5…) 

4. 3l (fill the 5-litre container. Fill the 2-litre container from the 5-litre container, leaving 3l).

 

Starlight 14b activity D pg168

Ask children to find a word on p. 164 where the letter ‘g’ has two different sounds (‘gigantic’). What other words can they think of where ‘g’ has a soft sound (‘giraffe’, ‘giant’, etc.)? What other words can they think of where ‘g’ has a hard sound (‘gate’, ‘gap’, ‘good’, etc.)?

Ask children to find the word ‘giant-sized’. Can they think of a synonym (‘enormous’) and an antonym (‘miniature’) for this word? How many ways of saying ‘small’ can they find on this page?

Ask children to remind you what adverbs are, and what information they give (words such as ‘happily’ and ‘sadly’, which add information to verbs). Can they find an adverb on p. 166 (‘quickly’)? Ask children to think of an adverb that could be added to this phrase: ‘They laughed ____ at the same jokes.’ (Examples: ‘loudly’, ‘heartily’, etc.)
