Today, Phase 3 set about developing their knowledge and understanding of the concept of volume, in their maths lesson. During their ‘active’ maths lesson, outside, the pupils set about defining what volume is, building blocks of volume and exploring displacement – as a way of measuring the volume of irregular objects.

The reasoning, debate and discussion, between all the pupils and within the teams, was fantastic and everyone involved clearly deepened their understanding. Well done all!

Do you know what displacement is? Today Mr. Flower demonstrated this with water, but we also explored the possibility of displacing air (gasses), by moving objects through it.

Do you remember what we said 1ml of water was equivalent to?
