Good Morning, Reception.
Well done for your great Maths work yesterday.
Today, we are going to do some more measuring and comparing.
You can choose from these different ways of using your body for measuring:
Can you measure your bed?
How many steps, hand spans or arm spans is it?
Think about which way might be the easiest before you start.
Can you measure how tall you are?
How many steps, hand spans or arm spans is it?
Think about which way might be the easiest before you start.
Can you measure how far it is from your front door to the bathroom?
How many steps, hand spans or arm spans is it?
Think about which way might be the easiest before you start.
Can you find your own ideas for what to measure and how to measure it?
I am looking forward to hearing all about your measuring today.
Love from Miss Siswick.

Good morning!
We had fun measuring everything at home, I have sent you my work.
I liked doing the arm spans.
Good morning Miss Siswick,
Madeleine told me that exercise was tricky.
We had to explain in different ways that the bed has several mesures to take.
Also we had to think how to selfmesure not an easy task either ??
My bed is big ! It mesures almost 2 arms span long, 1 arm span larg and almost 1 arm span high.
For myself I have counted 11 hands span.
I just Sent pictures
Hello, this was a little harder for us to understand the concept. But we had fun going around the house measuring! We did it with steps.
Pippa’s bed 11 steps
Pippa is 6 steps. We lay on the floor marked the top and bottom and then use step to measure it.
From the front door to the bathroom is 58 steps.
We also measure our little kitchen station, it is 4 and a half.
Good morning!
James measured his bed which is 200cm, 2 arms spans, 17.5 hands spans and 13 steps.
James is 112cm tall. We measured James’s foot which is 17cm long. James’s hand span is 14cm and his arm spam is 105cm. We enclosed a picture of James’s calculation, it is 6.5 steps, 8 hands spans and about 1 arm span.
The bathroom is 269cm away from James’s bedroom which is 16.5 steps, 20 hands spans and 2.5 arms spans.
James.
I measured our table and it measured 8 hand spans/6 steps/ and a bit less than 1 arm span.
It is 34 steps from our living room to our bathroom and only 2 steps from our front door to our bathroom!
Good morning Reception! Maths sounds really fun! Enjoy it! I look forward to hearing about things you are going to measure.

Hello, everyone. Fantastic measuring. I know that this can be a bit tricky but you have all been working so hard.
