This week, the childrenhave advanced onto their length and measure topic. While the conversion between the measurements can be a challenge to some at first, the children have really enjoyed not only getting their teeth into this topic, but also by getting hands on with their measuring by taking teir rulers around the classroom. I have plans next wek to have them going round with some meter sticks as well!

I would encourage you as parents to let your child take a ruler or piece of tape and measure things around the home as measuring length is always a very useful life skill.

Be sure as well to maintain their four operations skills (addition, subtraction, multiplication and division) by having them practice their column methods.
