Measures in Primary 1

We have been investigating measures in Primary 1. We have been looking at things that are tall and short (trees and people) and long and short (snakes), as well as wide and narrow (rivers and bridges) and thick and thin (worms and books). We made ourselves tall and short and wide and narrow. We made long and short necklaces and tall and short towers. We cut thick and thin ties and made thick and thin playdough snakes. We looked at the wide Craigavon Bridge and the narrow Peace Bridge. Then we drew wide and narrow bridges for the 3 Billy Goats Gruff. Then we compared the things we had made. 'My necklace is longer than your one.' 'The blue book is thicker than the red book.' 'This tower is taller than that one.'
