Capacity

We learnt that capacity is the amount of liquid a container can hold. We learnt that 1litre is equal to 1000ml and also explored which containers hold less and which hold more than a litre. Besides, we also marked different amounts on our interactive container and practiced reading the amounts each container had using the i-learn maths program. Here are some pictures of our activities.

Life cycle of a frog

Today we inquired the life cycle of the frog. Firstly we saw a video about the main stages of the frog's life cycle. Then, using a chart and some on-line games we outlined the main stages of this cycle.

Weight

In the topic of weight we explored which objects are heavier or lighter than 1kg by actually weighing them on the scale. Then we did some exercises on the the interactive whiteboard using the i-learn maths program; we sorted which objects are heavier and which are lighter than 1kg. We also used the interactive weights to make up different amounts on the scale. Here are some photos of our activities.

Checking if Jean Paul is heavier or lighter than 1kg :-)

Push and Pull

In our Science lesson we explored pushing and pulling. We now know that when we push we're moving something away from us and when we pull we are moving something towards us.

Below are some exercises which can help you identify where a push or a pull is being done.
