Our New Fish

We are thrilled to be the new babysitters of a tank full of pet fish! 





 The fish have inspired the children to ask questions and create their own theories about fish, how they move and what they need to stay alive.




Some of the children used their understanding of measurement to help cover the front of the stand supporting the tank to hide our cleaning equipment and fish food. 

They measured the length of a side using a measuring tape.

We tried to measure the height of the stand using corks. 

The corks were too wobbly and difficult to use as a measuring device, so the children decided to use connector straws instead.

Then we transferred our measurements onto large brown paper and cut it out.
