On Friday as part of a unit on mass the children were able to bring a soft toy to school that could fit into their school bags. Four stations were set up around the classroom.
The first station had us using two plastic bags tied to a piece of elastic that had been taped across the support beams in the classroom. The tops of the plastic bags needed to be lined up before we put a soft toy into each plastic bag. The aim was to find out which soft toy was the heaviest. We repeated the process to find out who had the lightest soft toy too.
Station two was using Miss Swney's electronic kitchen scales.
Station three was a set of VERY heavy balance scales. A soft toy was put into each of the two silver trays to find out the heaviest and then the lightest soft toy.
We also took time to read a story to our special friends.
