Measuring

In maths we took our first steps in measuring and symmetry.

We measured using cubes and bead strings.



We estimated how long we thought some classroom objects were, and then checked using cubes.




We made our own family of worms, then measured them and put them in order from longest to shortest. 

Traditional Tales

We listened to the story of The Three Little Pigs and talked about the characters in the story. We agreed that if we were planning to build a house, it's best to use bricks. Despite taking longer to build, the extra time is worthwhile as we get a stronger house.

We said we could try to apply this idea to our school work, working slowly and carefully rather than rushing things!  

We sequenced the story using cards and made our own Three Little Pigs book.
