Hi boys and girls!
We hope you enjoyed your reading tasks this morning. Now it is story time with David Walliams:

For Maths today we are going to be learning how to compare lengths and heights using particular words to describe the differences.
We use certain words to compare the lengths and height of objects, such as:
- long, longer and longest
- short, shorter and shortest
- tall, taller and tallest
Please visit BBC Bitesize using the link below and watch the videos before completing the activities:

Activity 1
Length or height?
Lengths are usually measured sideways, like the snakes above. Heights are measured upwards, like the giraffes standing on the ground.
Can you find pairs of objects around your home to compare and see which is the shorter of the two and which is the longer?
Compare your height with someone in your family. Who is the taller and who is the shorter?
Activity 2
If you can, print off this activity to complete at home. If you are unable to print it out, you can write your answers inside your jotter.
After all that hard work, let’s get outside and do the daily mile. Check out more Daily Mile At Home Challenges below:
Have fun and we will be back after lunch time!
