More Measurement

We have been learning about how to measure and compare different objects. Today Miss Head set us a challenge and we had to find out which was the longest: the width of the door or the height of the whiteboard.

We then had to record our findings. Can you guess which was the longest?

We looked at how we could measure our snakes to determine which were the biggest, longest, shortest, fattest, skinniest, smallest, highest and the list goes on. Here are some of our wriggly snakes...
