Measuring Activity

After learning about measuring in metres, the children moved on to learn about measuring in centimetres. For this activity, the children work in pairs to measure their partners' heads, wrist and waist.

Then they compare their own body parts' measurements  with their friend's.

It is important to teach them that when measuring, they should always start at "0" to get an accurate measurement.

Some children were using the tape measure for the first time and were having difficulty learning to use them. Parents may want to buy a tape measure or get a paper tape measure from IKEA.Do encourage your child to practice their measuring skills. They will be tested on their ability to mesure accurately in this term's performance task.
