Fee, Fi, Fo, Fum, there is lots of measuring to be done!

The Reception children have enjoyed reading the story of Jack and the Beanstalk. After lunch they returned to their classrooms to find a letter from the giant. The giant had left them a series of footprints and set the children a challenge to work out which belonged to him. The children first discussed and ordered the footprints from shortest to longest remembering to use the correct vocabulary. They then set about measuring the length of the footprints using cubes. The children recorded the length of each footprint and used these numbers to justify their answers.

"The red footprint is the shortest because it was only eight cubes long." Lucas 

"The orange one is definitely the giant's footprint. It has the largest number of cubes." Ellie-Jane
