Year 1 Learning about length and measuring

The children in Year 1 have been exploring measures and learning about length.

Initially working practically around the classroom and playground environment to investigate the length of various items using their hands or pencils and recording their findings in a table. They have also investigated measuring items using cubes and rulers.

Working practically the children have also shown they can compare and order items including different lengths of string and have created play dough "worms" which were longer or shorter than one previously made.
