Cody is learning to use some comparative measurement language to describe the ordering or comparing of objects and events e.g. big, bigger, biggest , long, longer, longest, heavy, heavier, heaviest, tall, taller, tallest

During our maths lesson we were putting cars down a tube, race tunnel, to see whose vehicle traveled the longest distance with one push.  We discussed whose went the shortest distance and whose traveled the same distance.  Once a week we do an activity that requires the use of comparative language.  In week one each of the students were given a length of string and had to put in in order from the longest to the shortest.   And in week two we put a range of containers in order from the smallest to the biggest.  Throughout the term Cody will be given the opportunity to practice using comparative language. 

Topic Cody is learning to recognize similarities and differences between a range of mini beasts and to sort based on given criteria.

During week one we learned about worms.  Where they live, what they eat and what eats them.  Cody made lots of salt dough worms for our Mural.    Cody is really enjoying this topic.  He especially enjoyed making a worm garden  We used chocolate ice cream for the dirt, flake for the bark, Oreo's for the debris, chocolate logs for the logs, spearmint leaves for the leaves, we had mushrooms too.  And we had jelly worms that had been set in straws for our worms.  It was lots of fun!
