Thinking Day

Our P3 Brownies

Thinking Day-the girls spoke to the class about what the day means to them and the Brownie organisation.


 Primary 3 learned about measuring the capacity of containers using non-standardised units of measure last week and so this week they learned how to measure the capacity of containers using litres. It was messy work! Last week only three packets of paper towels were required, this week we went through three and sent for another four packets to mop up the spillages! Just as well we used the STEM room again!










This group sorted the containers into three categories: hold about a litre, holds more than a litre and holds less than a litre. Well done girls!

Capacity and volume 🚰

P3 started a block of lessons on 'volume and weight' with a lesson on capacity. They used yogurt cartons to measure the capacity of everyday containers. First they estimated how many potfuls its would take then they measured the capacity. There was a lot of fun and splashing going on in the STEM room!

A couple of children mentioned that they "actually enjoyed" drying the pots and  dishes so you may get some help at home this weekend...
