Please use this week to complete the below booklet to recap on everything that has been taught so far in Year 1. You can write your answers in your red exercise books.
We can measure objects using our hands and feet. Can you find something smaller than your hand? Can you find something longer than your hand? Now do the same for feet.
Create a table in your books like the one below, go around your house using hands and feet to measure different objects and record them in your table.
Week Beginning 11th May - Capacity (Continued)
Last week, we started learning about capacity. Go through this PowerPoint with your grown-up to see what you remember.
Ask your grown-up to help you fill a mug with water. Which containers in your house do you think would hold more water than a mug and which would hold less than a mug? Write these in a table in your red book. You can use the pictures below to help you get started.
Draw a table like this.
Fish Tank

Egg Cup
How many mugs of water do you think it will take to fill different containers in your house? With your grown up, try it out and record your findings in a table like the one below.
Ask your grown-up to go through this PowerPoint with you on using millilitres (ml) and litres (l) to measure capacity.
In your red book, make two columns, one for millilitres (ml) and one for litres (l). Can you write or draw some things in each column that you would measure using millilitres (ml) or litres (l)? Start by sorting the items below and then add some of your own.
Look at these items Miss Sharkey found in her house. They all contain liquids and they are all measured in millilitres (ml). Can you find the capacity of each one?
With your grown-up, find some different liquids in your house and look at their capacity on the container. Draw, label and write their capacity your red book, using millilitres (ml) or litres (l).
How much water is in each jug? Remember to check the scale on each jug; does it go up in 1s or 2s? Record your answers in your red book.

Copy and complete this worksheet in your red exercise books.
In your red exercise book, make two columns, one for grams (g) and one for kilograms (kg). Can you write or draw some things in each column that you would weigh using grams (g) or kilograms (kg)? Start by sorting the items below and then add some of your own.
With your grown-up, look at the weight of some of the different tins, jars and packets of food in your kitchen cupboard. Draw, label and write the weight of these items in your red exercise book.
If you have some weighing scales at home, ask your grown-up to help you weigh some different objects in grams or kilograms and write the weight of these in your red book.
Week Beginning 20th April - Weight
Read through these power points with your child and look at which items are the heaviest and the lightest. Discuss what happens to the scales and how we know whether an item is the heaviest or the lightest.
Write in your red exercise book some things that are heavy and some things that are light.
Find some objects around your house that are all different weights. Can you order them from the lightest to the heaviest? Draw them in your red exercise book.
Order the pictures from the lightest to the heaviest in your red exercise books. Then copy the sentences below into your red book and fill in the blanks so they read correct.
