Violet’s Lemonade: Activities

Shared Reading · Year 4. An adult reads the questions and clues aloud. Children can talk, point, sign or choose an answer. For Jumbled Words, show the matching vocabulary word and build it together; children do not need to read independently.

Vocabulary

Read these five words from the story. Talk about what they mean.

millilitres: Small units used to measure liquid volume.
litre: A unit equal to one thousand millilitres.
batch: An amount prepared at one time.
capacity: The amount a container can hold.
manageable: Able to be handled or done without too much difficulty.

Jumbled Words

Use the clue to make a word from the story. Drag the letters with a mouse or finger, or tap a letter and then a space.

Put the story in order

Drag the pictures into order from first to last with a mouse or finger. Or tap a picture, then tap where it should go. Use arrow keys to move a focused picture.

Tell the story

Retell the story in order. Explain the problem, the method the characters tried and the evidence that their solution worked. Use a measuring jug with an adult to compare 750 mL and 250 mL with 1 L. Draw three batches and total the water and mixture separately. Check the combined 3,000 mL as 3 L.
