Thank you to all the parents and families for coming and supporting the students. It was a great success!

To finish the unit, students completed an individual assessment by measuring different lines taped on the floor with Unifix cubes, recording the length and ordered them from shortest to longest showing how well they can measure and use everyday maths language. They used words such as short, shorter, shortest, shorter than, long, longer, longest, and longer than to explain and compare the lengths of the lines.
