Athletic sprint heats

Volume and Capacity

 At this station we used a spoon to measure capacity.

 We are at station two. We are sharing and taking turns at counting beans.

 We made a model using one handful of cubes. Then we counted the blocks to see whose model took up the most space.

 We counted how many teddies go into different containers.

 At this station we guessed how many cups of rice bubbles would fill different containers and then we checked.

 We filled up the containers with cups of water to different lines. We had fun!

We took turns to guess which bottle held the most water. We found out the blue bottle held the most water.

More snag golf skills.

We are getting better at getting double snags!!

Volume and Capacity

Kia Ora Family and Whanau,

I would like to introduce myself to all of you, my name is Scarlett and I am a student teacher in my 3^rd year of study. Room 5 is a wonderful group of learners and I look forward to working with them over the next few weeks. Please feel free to pop into the class before or after school to meet me in person.

At school we have been exploring the concepts of volume and capacity.  We have compared the capacity of a number of different containers by pouring the contents of one container to another so that we can see which container holds the most. We have also been using non-standard units of measurement (spoons, cups, jugs, handfuls) to compare the capacity of different containers.

To support your child’s learning at home this week you could encourage a couple of small activities. Your child could try to find two containers that look different but hold similar amounts of water.  Your child could then ask family members to guess which holds the most and see if anyone is “tricked". You could also let your child help you measure ingredients when you are baking or cooking. Bath time is also a great opportunity for some more practice in finding the volume of containers. For example, how many eggcups does it take to fill a cup?

Towel pass game

We invented a ball game using towels to pass the ball.

Michelle from Get-Set-Go was impressed with our game.

GET SET GO with Michelle this week was learning about under arm throwing
