 Today we have been exploring how a whole can be split into three parts. We made a tower using 3 colours and put it into a part whole model with 3 parts, to see how many we had of each colour and how many we had altogether (the whole).

We have been working systematically to find the bonds to certain numbers. We work in a system to ensure we don't miss any combinations.

 We have been using balance scales to compare the mass of two objects. We noticed if the weight pushed it down and showed it was heavier and the object up was lighter.

 The children really enjoyed our trip to Cutteslowe Park Miniature Railway! We were able to ride the diesel trains on the two tracks. The kind volunteers at COSME explained how steam trains work and showed us the cross-section of one. We learnt some history about this miniature railway and the jobs and logistics of running it. We had a chance to ask lots of questions and I think the children's most memorable moment was when the train broke down mid-way round because it was too heavy!
