Grades 1 and 2

In Grade 1 Maths lessons this week, we read the story “Actual Size.” We discussed the size of some of the animals from the story and together we measured some of them on the floor in our classroom. The children were amazed by how big they are, such as the great white shark being nearly as long as the width of our classroom! We then measured the lines, using our hands, feet and even ourselves The children also drew their own hands as we learnt a Gorilla's hand is nearly the size of a book and measured it using cubes. We also measured snakes using paper clips

Grade 2 have also been introduced to measurement in length and height using non-standard units and standard units of measurement. They were also learning to use a ruler and measure in centimetres. In Arabic lessons, the children had great fun reading stories and dramatising their lesson by acting out the story
