More Measuring!


We are continuing our learning about measuring this week.  We learned lots about measuring lengths last week and today we started learning about how to measure the weight of something.  Miss Shearer asked us if we would rather have the weight of a car or the weight of ourselves in chocolate.  We all decided that we would rather have the weight of a car in chocolate as it is heavier!  Then we used balances to do lots of measuring of different weights of things.  We were investigating how to use the balances and that we need to make both sides balance to find the weight of something.  It was really good fun and it was interesting to see how many of each thing we needed to make the scales balance!  We are going to continue learning about weighing things and then we are going to learn about the capacity of different things!
