This week we have been learning all about length. We used lots of different materials to measure e.g lollipop sticks, crayons, books, cubes, spans (hands) and strides. We also learned all about a metre. A metre is 100cm. We learned that 1cm is about the size of our baby finger. We looked at objects that were less than, about the same as or greater than 1 metre. We used a metre ribbon to do this. We also had a metre stick. Today we looked at a trundle wheel which makes a click sound every time it reads a metre. We all had a go with it on the yard today. We estimated how many metres in length and width the basketball court was. We got 26 metres for the length and 14 metres for the width. We also talked about using length all around is e.g. driving a car, putting a floor in a classroom, building the correct size home for an animal etc.
