Team CH - Comparing items by their length and height

Team CH have continued being up an active in our counting! Practicing ordinal counting each day has really helped us in becoming familiar with the flow, sound and sequence of numbers. Additionally, our daily counting has supported us in counting in multiples of 2’s, 5’s and 10’s. 
We have enjoyed being up and active as we learnt to join in with a song about height and length. We know that height measures how tall something is and that length measure how long something is. We put actions to the words to help us remember there meaning!  
Our activities included marking our height on a piece of paper that was stuck to the wall and we could identify who we were taller than and who was shorter than us. We also used straws to blow cotton wool balls and discussed which ball travelled the longest distance and which travelled the shortest distance.
​We have been making comparison between children in our class and have discussed and answered ‘who is the tallest?’ and ‘who is the shortest?’. ​
