We have the CAPACITY for learning!

Two heads are better than one.
We started the week thinking about adding and subtracting to 1000 in maths as we carried out some investigations into capacity and mass. The sun was shining for us when we, firstly had to think about how much more water was needed to top up the 1 litre bottles and then we carefully measured the exact amount to top them up. The hardest part was carefully looking at the marks on the side of the measuring containers as some of them increased by 25 ml, ml means millilitres, some by 50 ml and some by 100 ml. You really have to look super close and keep the water level steady to be exact. Doing maths outside helps us remember that you can do maths everywhere.

Helping each other helps us to learn.
We look so pleased as our estimate of 350 ml was exactly correct!
