Today, the children took part in an experiment to inflate a balloon by using science. We couldn't use mechanical devices or blow the balloons up ourselves, instead the children had to build on existing knowledge of states of matter to help design an experiment to to do this for us. We decided on…

We have been making our own part/part/whole models on the Interactive Board during Get Busy Time.  We can explain that we need to count each of the groups first and then count all of the objects to find out how many altogether.  This number then goes into the circle at the bottom (the…
