Good Morning, Nursery.
Well done for working so hard with your numbers and counting this week.
Today, we are going to do something a bit different.
Can you investigate how much water different containers can hold?
It might be best to do this over the sink and put the water in the sink first. Hopefully this will be less messy and also save on water!
Choose some different containers and have fun in the sink!
Can you pour water from one container to another?
Did some of the water spill out?
Was there enough water to fill the container?
How much water is in the container now?
Here are some words to help you talk about how much water there is:
Here are two different recipes for making porridge for the three bears that you can to practice measuring using cups. Maybe you would like to try them out today or another day: Goldilocks-porridge-sheet (1)
I am looking forward to hearing all about your Maths today.
Love from Miss Siswick.
PRINTABLE VERSION:N Maths Thursday
Good morning
We tried to focus this morning on vocabulary half full , nearly full/empty and we had fun with the water!!!!
I am glad that you had fun measuring with the water today, Leopold.
Hello,
Same as Leopold: had fun with the water. Water bottle is half full, pouring water into two smaller containers which became both full. Then back to water bottle, almost empty as some spilled out.
Hello,
I really enjoyed experimenting with the containers and making the porridge.
Caspian had fun with this task today and asked me if he can practice pouring water all day from container to another.
Well done; Adelaide, Victoire, Hermine, Philip, James and Caspian. I am glad that you are all enjoying today’s Maths task.
Ania liked this task very much and did not want to stop. She was able to measure and answer how much water is in a cup
Sam loved making a mess with the water. He filled the smaller containers and poured them all in to the large bowl, which was still not full, but nearly full. He refilled the small containers poured more in to the large bowl until it was full up, the small containers were empty and the medium container was nearly empty.
Sam also likes to play “sink and float” to guess which items sink and which items float in the big bowl of water.
Well done, Ania and Sam. I am pleased that you had fun with it.
Sink or float is a great idea for an activity for the blog. Thanks, Sam!
Hello nursery,
Fiadh had so much fun with the water play! She filled different containers and was able to answer if they were full, empty, nearly full or nearly empty when asked.
Dear Miss Siswick,
We had fun with this thank you. Anna with a little help was able to use the appropriate language for each scenario.
Greetings
As soon as Nicolas heard he can play with water he was very keen to do his homework ? He is currently having fun at the sink and uses the words to talk about water correctly. Sophia is keen on joining once she has finished her homework… Greetings from us!
James happily filled different sized cups and beakers from empty, half full, and full.
He also helped mum and amber make the porridge this morning
Well done; Fiadh, Anna, Nicolas and James. Today’s Maths task is very popular. Well done for using the Maths language too.
