Heavy or light?

15th October 2024Amy Woods

This week we have been comparing objects by size, length and capacity. Today we have enjoyed exploring which objects are heavy, which objects are light, and using the scales to to compare this. We addressed the misconception that just because the object is bigger, it doesn’t mean it is heavier.

Comparing by size, length and capacity

9th October 2024Amy Woods

This week in maths we have been comparing objects by size, length and capacity. We have learnt lots of mathematical language such as full, empty, half full, long, short, big and small. We linked it to our expedition story of Goldilocks, talking about how baby bears bowl was empty, and daddy bears was full.
