Good morning!
Practise the days of the week by joining in with the ‘Days of the week’ rap!
Today we will focus on measuring mass in grams (g).
The teddy weighs 20g. The weights are 5g each ( 5 + 5 + 5 + 5 =20g) and the scales are balanced.
Can you say how many grams these objects weigh?
You may have seen scales like this in your kitchen at home or in the cookery room at school. You need to read the scale. Can you see the mass of the cookie in grams is 20g. What is the mass of the toy in grams?
The scales are marked in intervals of 10.
Reasoning Cheeky Challenge:
Use the stem sentence: The……bean bag is heavier. I know this because………
Now for the fun bit! If you are able to, practise using scales to measure grams and make some delicious biscuits!
Here is the recipe:
Ingredients
- 250g butter softened
- 140g caster sugar
- 1 egg yolk
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 300g plain flour
Method:

- Sift over 300g plain flour and stir until the mixture is well combined – you might need to get your hands in at the end to give everything a really good mix and press the dough together.
- Roll out the dough and cut using a cookie cutter.
