What's gonna work? TEAMWORK!

Today we made estimates about length.  It was great to see many children getting their estimates very close to the accurate measurements.
We practised working on our groups, we had to assign jobs this week, this meant there are a lot of discussion and more importantly, listening to each other.
The children were great at comparing items and their length, finding using a metre ruler quite different to the ones in their tote trays.

Maia helps her group out by
finding the height of the table.

Jack and Benjamin work together to accurately
measure their desk - Is it the same height as the one Maia is working on?

Ashleigh is measuring the length of the stapler....how close was your estimate?

Arianna measures the width of the sink.

Charlotte is giving Skylia good advice on how to read the ruler.

Jack and Makayla are having a race to see who
can measure the height of the whiteboard first.

We are looking at seeds this week, learning everything we can before we begin our experiments next week.  We talked about how seeds are distributed, we had lots of giggles when we talked about animals and birds poop carrying seeds around.

Your homework tonight is to see if you can find some seeds for us to share on our investigation table.
