Welcome Back - Term 4

Already we have 1 week under our belts! 

Maths - for weeks 1 and 2 we are learning about length and using non standard methods of measuring  length.

We measured how tall we were using paper strips.

 

We put gingerbread men in order from smallest to tallest

We drew our family from tallest to smallest.

 

We made play dough worms of varying lengths and then drew them.

Here is Danijela measuring objects around the room using unifix cubes.
