Heavy or light?
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 doesnāt mean it is heavier.

Comparing by size, length and capacity
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.

Making 5
Will it roll? Will it slide?
We have been exploring shapes today. We decided which shapes were best for building and we talked about why.
We sorted shapes into those that could roll or slide or both.
We then tried to build with the shapes in provision.
Have a look at our towers. We definitely couldn’t build with the sphere and noticed that we could only use a cone if it went on top.
