Willow Class gets to grips with measurements!

This week, Willow Class has been learning all about capacity and mass in their Maths lessons. The children explored different containers to compare how much liquid they could hold, using terms like "full," "empty," "more than," and "less than." Through hands-on activities and fun challenges, the class developed a better understanding of how to measure and estimate both capacity and mass. Everyone enjoyed the practical learning and worked hard to use the correct vocabulary in their discussions. Willow Class had great fun exploring weight by using scales to compare conkers and acorns. The children carefully placed the natural objects on balance scales to see which were heavier or lighter, and they enjoyed predicting the results before testing them. They used mathematical language such as "heavier," "lighter," and "balance" as they worked in pairs to investigate. Some were surprised to find that even though conkers are bigger, a few acorns together could sometimes weigh the same or more! It was a hands-on and engaging way to learn about mass using real-world objects from nature.
