This morning in the garden we harvested more of our potatoes. We had great fun digging them out using the forks, trowels and also using our hands.

“I found a red one!”

“I found a white one!”

”it feels cold”

After harvesting  “lots and lots” of potatoes we took them inside for a wash.

The potatoes were all different sizes so we decided to compare them to discover which was the biggest and which was the smallest. We were even able to line them up in order of size.

“I found a huge one.”

Then we decided to weigh the potatoes and experiment with different ways we could balance the scales, developing our mathematical language. 

“That’s too heavy.”

“That’s not balanced.”

All this hard work made us really hungry so we washed them and popped them in the microwave to cook. We had to wait for them to cool down but they were worth the wait!

“Yummy!”

“5 out of 5!”
