Applying new language in open ended activities

When new language is introduced, we love to observe the children applying this language in their own play. After learning capacity words in Maths, here were some of the comments heard...

'Look, mine is half full, you do the same then we will both have half full ones!' 

'One little spoon of sherbet in mine...it's almost empty so I'll add lots more to get it half full'. 

'Guys, if we all fill it to the top, we will all have the top capacity!' 

How wonderful!
