Maths Measuring

Today we brought out favourite teddy or soft toy to school. At maths time, we measured our teddies to see how long they were. We made sure we started at their feet and went all the way to the top of their heads. Leonard's had the longest teddy. It was 52 cubes long!! Zara had the shortest teddy. It was 5 cubes long. Great measuring and counting Room 11!!

Our visit to The MTG Museum


The children loved the trip to the museum last Friday. The bus trip was a highlight. There were so many olden day things for them to experience.  It makes you appreciate the advances in technology that make our lives easier!! Here are some photos from the trip. Your children will be able to talk about the photos with you. Thank you to those parents who were able to come with us.
