We used the pan balance scales on Monday during maths to measure the weights of various objects around the classroom. We worked with a partner to identify the heaviest and lightest objects.
During Big Maths this week, the children have been learning to measure surface area. We used counters and gem stones to measure the area of a variety of shapes. We found that the cat shape had the largest surface area with it requiring 179 gem stones!
Following on from our castles topic last term, we will now be focusing on Fairy tales as our new literacy topic. This week, we read Jack and the Beanstalk which really captured the children's imagination! We planted our own magic beans and we are eagerly waiting to watch them grow into beanstalks!
