While the afternoon children were showing their creative side last week in their outdoor music making, the morning children were talking about measure when playing in the garden. As you can see, they used a range of containers to develop their understanding of the concept of measure as they poured from one vessel to another. Apart from being great fun, the children were being encouraged to develop the language of measure using vocabulary such as full, empty, bigger, smaller, biggest, more than, less than and much more. They enjoyed working out, for example, if one container of water would fill a different container or if it would spill over and good teamwork was shown by all those taking part.<\/p>\n
