This week we have been reading the story The Boy and The Bear. In the story the bear is too heavy to play on the see saw with his new friend, this led to conversations about the word heavy and what this means. We explained to the children that if something has a heavy weight, it means that it will feel hard to pick up. During our carpet session we explored and compared items which are heavy and light. Delilah explained that her cousins is strong because she can pick her up and she is very heavy!



We continued this learning in our outdoor area as we went to hunt for objects which feel heavy. We found lots of heavy objects and discovered that some objects were so heavy that we need to work with a friend to lift them up. We then placed them in order from heavier to lightest.





Can you hunt for heavy objects around your house this weekend? Maybe you could find some light objects also and compare them using the words heavier and lighter, heaviest and lightest.
