Good Morning, Nursery.
Well done for all of your hard work in Maths yesterday.
Today, we are going to practice our counting.
You need water and ten objects or toys that you are allowed to get wet!
Put your objects in the water and have fun finding out which ones float and which ones sink.
Then, sort the objects into two groups; the ones that sank and the ones that floated. How many are in each group? Does one group have more? Write down the numbers or use your number cards.
You can try this as many times as you like with different objects and different amounts of objects.
Have fun! I am looking forward to hearing how you got on.
Love from Miss Siswick.

Good morning Miss Siswick,
Another fun day for Caspian , he chose 10 objects and separated into two groups – 6 floated and 4 sank .
Caspian calculated and counted and said 6+4=10.
Well done, Caspian.
Esmerad had a lot of fun putting toys and objects in water. She used for this a doll’s bath.
She found that:
8 objects floated
2 objects sank
She said that “the floating ones” won.
After she picked up the correct card numbers to say the amount of each group.
Well done, Esme.
Good morning Miss Siswick,
Alexander filled the sink and put 10 objects in. 8 of the objects floated and 2 sank. He was able to sort the objects into 2 groups and count them. He had fun!
Well done, Alexander.
Big smiles on Sam’s face for this school work today 🙂
He collected up handfuls of little toys and eight of the items floated and eleven items sank.
Well done, Sam.
Good morning nursery enjoy your maths.
We were very surprised to find that grapes sink and bananas float!
I didn’t know that either, Philip!
Ania chose 10 objects and separated into two groups and both had 5. Ania played many times. Great fun. Thank you, Miss Siswick
Well done, Ania.
Lots of fun! Grace took lots of toys, too many. She settled on 14. The Lego brick, Lego watering can, Lego rabbit and Skye (Paw Patrol) all sank but everything else floated. Grace understood that the floating toy group had many more in it – 10. and the other group only had 4 so there was quite a difference. She wrote 10 and 4 and loved every minute. Everything is drying off now 🙂
Well done, Grace.
Nicolas and Sophia had a lot of fun with this homework this afternoon. They chose several hatchimals, a spoon, a boat, a shark, a sea lion, bath cars and a duck. The hatchimals, the shark, the sea lion and the spoon sank whereas the rest floated. Greetings from us! ?
I know that you love playing with water, Nicolas. I am glad that you and Sophia enjoyed it.
