Room 12 has been learning how to measure. We decided that we could not measure with our hands because our hands were all different sizes. We were going to measure with our feet, but our feet were different sizes too! What were we going to do? So we realised that we needed to use things that were all the same size - what about blocks? Great idea! Blocks would be perfect! So first we measured our books to see which ones were the tallest and the shortest. Then we measured our 10 green bottles before we hung them on the wall.We had to sort them from shortest to tallest. We got them in perfect size order. Aren't we smart!

Hi there lovely room 12, it looks like you are very careful at measuring. I wonder how many blocks your tallest bottle was? It looks like you have heaps of fun in room 12. Mrs Hartley
