Mathematical Development - length.

We have been investigating length this week. We had lots of fun measuring our patio using blocks. We placed the blocks end to end in a straight row and then counted how many blocks we'd used. We measured the patio in two different places and worked out which was the longest. When we'd finished we used the blocks to measure how tall we were. We tried to make the towers taller than Mrs Utting! Back in our classrooms we also had a go at measuring our length when we lay down. We measured our lengths very carefully using straws and recorded our measurements in our books.
