Mathematics: Mass Warm up: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-cjPApFuGLM Learning Intention: To understand the difference between heavy and light. To identify items that we weigh to find out their mass.

Things with a lot of mass are heavy. Things with a little bit of mass are light. We weigh things to find out how much mass they have. Draw some things that we might weigh. e.g a baby, fruit. We can also push things to find out how much mass they have. Heavy things are harder to push. Light things are easier to push. A fridge is hard to push, it has a lot of mass. A cardboard box is easy to push because it has a little bit of mass. Draw 1 thing that is hard to push and 1 thing that is easy to push. Label your pictures as heavy or light.

Library with Mrs Burke Listen to the story – The Rainbow Fish. https://storylineonline.net/books/the-rainbow-fish/ Decorate a Rainbow Fish, there is a template at the end of this Framework or you could draw your own picture. Tip: you can use foil or glitter to make sparkling scales.
