This week in shared reading and writing we focused on nonfiction books about ocean animals.
One day the children wrote about whether or not jellyfish would make good pets.
In Science we have been working on animals. We have differentiated between wild and domestic animals and discussed where animals live.
In math this week we have continued to work with measurement but focused on volume/capacity and weight. We did an experiment using rice to see which cup had the greatest volume.
The children also did a Promethean board activity comparing the volumes of different items.
Then we made a picture showing heavier and lighter on a balance scale. The children worked with a partner to use a real balance scales comparing and contrasting items.
