CAPACITY = OUTSIDE = FUN PRACTICAL LEARNING
The Grade 3s took their maths lesson outside this week whilst learning about capacity. The children were tasked with measuring in the different containers with measuring jugs and to explore how the different measurements compare to each other. They were completely engaged – showing one is never too young to investigate with water!
