Volume and Capacity

We have been investigating the volume of a variety of containers using water and uncooked rice. We used the words full, empty, half full, half empty, nearly full and nearly empty.

We ordered containers by how much liquid they could hold fom least to most.

Wonderful Weight!

We have been learning about weight and mass this week. We compared the weight of objects using the words heavier, lighter and the same. Next we weighed a variety of objects with cubes and used the word balance. Then we ordered objects by weight from heaviest to lightest. Mrs Phillip and Mrs Trowell were so impressed with how well we worked with our friends!

Magical Maths!

We have been learning about place value in Maths. We have been counting and making numbers with tens and ones. Watch the videos and we will explain.

At home practise counting in tens, see if your child can tell you how many tens and ones are in a number, use food or toys to set out numbers in tens and ones. Watch video 3 below and pretend there are 10 biscuits in each packet and add on the extra biscuits as ones, then you can eat some of the biscuits and even count how many are left!

We are going to be looking at the points on a compass and giving directions to a friend this week. If you have a compass app on your phone please let your child have a look. Perhaps you could try walking in different directions following the compass!
