Bowling fun in the nursery!

The sun was shining and it was a great day for a competitive game of bowling in the nursery outdoor area. The children picked their own teams making sure there were the same number of children in each so that it was fair. They then made up  their own rules. They decided they would stand with their toes behind a bean bag which was marking a spot to make sure everyone was the same distance away from the skittles. Each child was allowed two shots each for their team and the scores were kept using the numicon shapes and pegs. One peg represented One skittle knocked down. At the end we counted all the pegs to determine the winning team. The children all had great fun cheering on their team mates and a few of them even managed to get a strike!!

Comparing volumes in the water tray.

The nursery children have been using a variety of scoops and containers as units of measure in the water tray. They investigated and compared the volumes of  different sized buckets and bottles by counting how many scoops or containers of water it took to fill them.
