⚖️😊P1 have been busy little mathematicians this week, exploring the wonderful topic of weight! 😊⚖️
We started by handling lots of different objects and talking about which ones felt heavier and which ones felt lighter. A story called Mighty Maddie helped bring the ideas to life and soon everyone was confidently using their new weight words.
Then the real fun started- using balance scales! The children experimented, predicted, compared and giggled their way through lots of hands-on challenges to see which items would tip the scales. We even learned a little rhyme to help us remember which way the scales move when objects are heavy/light and continued to use our super language associated with weight.
An amazing discussion occured when one set of scales were ‘balanced’ with objects in the pans- what does this tell us? What can we say about these objects?
So much practical learning, curiosity and so many "aha!" moments from our brilliant P1s! 🌟
