Measuring in Senior infants

We had fun measuring different things this week.We measured tables and windows with lollipop sticks and also with cubes and teddy bears.We guessed how many it would take first and then we measured and compared the results with our guesses.After measuring in the classroom,we measured cars outside and the long corridor in the school.The corridor took 33 metre sticks to get from the start to the end!

Weighing in Junior infants

We are learning about heavy/ light/ heavier and lighter things. We had lots of fun estimating which item was heavier and then checking our answer using the balance. We were right with every single estimate we made.

Heavy and light in Senior infants

In Maths we have been learning about heavy and light. Before we used the balancing scales teacher asked us to lift certain items in each of our hands and we had to compare the weights of the two and say which felt the heaviest and which felt the lightest. Have a look at us. Then we used the balancing scales and we had to compare the weight of two items also. We had to guess first which item we thought would be the heaviest. The heavier item went down on the scales and the lighter item went up.We loved using the balancing scales!!

More capacity in Senior Infants

We are learning lots about water with Mr. Donohue.  He brought us in a plant to look after and water.  We hope it grows well for us.  We did more measuring with a jug, a saucepan and other containers.  Today we had to guess, then measure, how many cups of water each container holds.  Some of us are really good at this, but some of us found this quite challenging.  Maybe we need more practice at home????
