Weight and Mass

THis week we have been exploring activities that develop mass(weight). We have been using words like heavy, heavier, light, lighter. You can help by getting your child to find things that are light. Once they have a collection of light objects, you could ask them to find objects that are heavy.

The following wbsite has activities on these topics.

Last week we were learning about length. We have been using words like long, tall, short to describe objects. We also studied the language of comparison. You can help by aqsking questions that use the words taller, shorter, longer eg. Which is taller, the dog or cat?
