Noticeboard
This week:
Wednesday : Story with new teacher.
Thursday : Sports Afternoon, 1:30pm. Parents Welcome
Sports Day will be taking place on the junior school field. Please can you ensure that your child has a PE kit (white t-shirt and shorts/ leggings) in school and appropriate sports footwear. They must also have a sun hat and be wearing all-day sun cream. The events will begin at 1:30pm and we will aim to finish by 3:15pm (after the parents race!).
Here is another link to Bristol’s Festival of Nature. There are lots of events happening throughout the next few weeks. Check it out….
- You will find below a grid showing the sessions to be taught each week. They mostly follow the exact days, although will differ slightly class to class as when we have our PE slots.
- Could you please make sure children have a change of shoes suitable for PE in their PE kits as most of our PE will be outside this term. Thank you.

Learning Objectives:
To describe the volume in a container by using the vocabulary full, nearly full, empty or nearly empty.
To use non-standard measurements to measure the capacity of a container
To use ‘more’, ‘less’ and ‘equal to’ to compare capacity and/or volume as well as the symbols <, > and =.
To use solve reasoning problems involving capacity and volume.
Key difficulty points:
Children don’t need to be able to explain this difference but for adults to ensure they are using correct Terminology:
Capacity is the amount of space inside a container (the amount it can hold)
Volume is the amount of space that is being taken up within the container (e.g. it could be half full)
