Focus on comparing weight
⭐ - 1 Star Challenge:
Today we will be using a scale or become the human scale to compare the weight of different objects. Gather some objects around the house such as toys, books, tins, etc. Can you tell which object is lighter? Which one is heavier? How do we know?
Have a look at the video of how the scale moves when objects are heavier or lighter.
Now, you will become the human scale! Can you choose two objects and hold them in your hands while stretching your arms out like a balance scale? Which object or side feels heavier and which feels lighter?
Show us a picture of you becoming a human scale! 😄

Heavy and Light Sorting Activity
⭐⭐ - 2 Star Challenge:
We have made our own spring scale yesterday. Today you get to use the spring scale you have made to compare the weight of different objects!
1) Choose two objects to compare the weights.
2) Place one object at a time in the spring scale.
3) Draw a line or mark where the scale has landed.
4) Repeat with the other object.
Which one is heavier? Remember heavier object goes further down! 😊
If you would like to make a balance scale using a hanger, follow through the video and compare how heavy things are using the scale too!

How a balance scale works!
Try to predict which object will be heavier or lighter to have some more fun!
Remember heavier objects make the band stretch more! Thus, it goes down.
3) Topic (Our Homes) - Speaking
Learning Objectives (LO): ELG - Children know about similarities and differences in relation to places, objects, materials and living things. They talk about the features of their own immediate environment and how environments might vary from one another.

We have all learnt that we live on our planet Earth. Let's find out where exactly do we live on our Earth? That's right. We do live in Brunei, but we would like to take the time to look for which part of Brunei we live in.
We all live in Brunei but we do not all live in the same home! We all have separate homes, sometimes on the same road but even then we have different addresses and numbers.
Can you spot and describe your home and your neighborhood using the technology and Google Earth Map program? Are there many mountains or trees around your house? Or is your house surrounded by other houses? Are there rivers or parks around your house?
Try to explain what you have found out exploring the google map! 😊
