Maddie's Poem

Today at reading time, Maddie wrote a poem when she was working at the writing table.

She read her poem to  the class.

Which Snoopy Weighs the Most???

Today we borrowed some Snoopy toys from Mrs Wong in Room 4.
We lined the toys up in order from heaviest to lightest. First we estimated, then we used the balancing scales to check their weight.

Here is our estimation...

Here are the toys lined up after we have measured their weights...

We think we did a good job at estimating. 

Maths Time in Room 3

In maths we have been learning about measuring the weight of different objects.
We have been using words like:
'Measure' - Jacob
'Heavy and light' - Samara
'Which is heaviest?' - Maddie
'Which is the lightest' - Jorja
'Equal, even and estimate' - Else
'Lightest, heaviest and in the middle' - Alexis.

Here are some photos of us using balancing scales to find about which object is the heaviest. First we had to hold the objects in each hand and estimate, then we used the scales to check if we were right.
