It was a case of ready, steady, run for us last week as we learned all about capacity.

At the first break in the gloomy weather, we raced outside to the Imaginarium for some hands-on experience in the water and sand pits to discover the meaning of ‘full’, ’empty’ and ‘half full’.

We had lots of fun racing each other to put the correct amounts in our tubs and pots and finding out which containers held ‘more’ or ‘less’. We also counted how many full yoghurt pots it took to fill a bucket – 19.
