We’ve been filling containers with pebbles and water, using language like *full*, *empty*, *nearly full* and *half full*. The children also compared objects using balance scales to find out what was *heavy*, *light* and *balanced*. Lots of brilliant hands‑on maths this week! \#enjoy #embrace #evolve ### Reception- Mass and capacity 26
