Old and New Around Our Homes
This week we've looked at old and new
household appliances and how they have changed over time. In groups, the children decided what was the same and different from one appliance from the past compared to one today. Their ideas were scribed by the teacher. Each group then had to present their findings to the class.

Measuring
We're looking at measurement in K3.
We've been measuring with all sorts of units. For instance, cubes:
and chain links:
Kapla blocks:
and stones
We're beginning to encounter standard units, and the reasons for using these. We're measuring our heights in cm for instance.
In class, we looked at a kettle, and how it measures the temperature. The children noticed lots of things about this:
a
and a speed camera:
It's always interesting to see what children notice about these things!
What other things for measuring do you have? We're asking if you can take a photograph or video to share with us.

Things from the past
Our new central idea is: "Artefacts and other historical sources help us learn about the past."
We've started off looking at this:
 |
| A wooden dumper truck that granddad made for dad |
 |
| An old magnifying glass |
 |
| A video cassette |
 |
| A wooden flute from Romania |
 |
| Weighing scales |
 |
| Weighing scales in action |
 |
| An old colouring book |
 |
| A cable car that belonged to granddad |
 |
| A typewriter |
 |
| Grandma's home-made "doudou" |
 |
| Granddad's firefighting helmet |
 |
Another typewriter from granddad
An iron and a lattern from Papi
A camera
A teddy from grandmother
A doll from Grandma
A family tree dating back 4 generations
Pictures of several generations
|
And there's lots more!
