In school we always start lessons with some counting activities. here are some counting music and action songs that you could use at home!

Lessons for this Week
This week we begin our length and height unit of work. We will be learning to compare heights and lengths using the words longer, longest, long and short, shorter, shortest. We will then learn to measure accurately. This is a very practical unit and many of the activities are practical ones so you will need to listen to the videos carefully and pause to carry out the activities.

There is no worksheet today as it is a practical lesson. We would love to see some photographs of you measuring around your home. Remember, as it says in the lesson video, you can use anything to measure with as long as it's the same size. This could be pegs, paper clips, spoons, pencils, dvds...anything!
