Capacity

In maths this week we have been learning all about capacity.  We learnt that it is the amount that something holds. We moved around 8 different stations and had to estimate how many objects would fit onto the container then we checked our estimate by counting the objects. We were surprised that our guesses were quite different to the actual amount.



Then we had to make a container to hold 14 spiders. The amazing thing we discovered was the many different shapes and sizes hold the exact same amount.

Sport Coaches

This week we were learning to throw the discus and shot-put. We had a great time with Chris and Ross the Sport Coaches.


Fabulous Apples

Today we were all given a free apple snack pack from Snappz New Zealand. They were delicious and the best thing is that we have a free voucher each to get a snack pack for free.
