A measured response
Matt’s done his homework. He had a strip of paper which was cut from a sheet of A4 (29.7cm long). He measured 4 items, and had to say if they were larger or smaller than the paper. Here are the results:
- The trailer from his toy truck: smaller
- Matt’s Thomas the Tank Engine torch: smaller
- Daddy’s bike: bigger
- The fishtank: bigger
More on the exciting world of reception class homework will follow. Maybe.
Although he's too shy to post the comment, I've already been asked by someone what Matt had to do with the results he found. He had to draw the objects in his homework book, labelled. And no, they weren't to scale - he's only 4 for god's sake!
i still don’t believe you get homework when you’re 4!
I 2nd that homeworkat 4?!!! that seems a tad harsh 💡
I feel I have to defend the homework thing. It’s all very simple stuff, it helps back up what he’s done in school, and it’s also great fun for parents to get involved with.
I’m glad I’m able to do some stuff with him, it lets me keep in touch with how much he knows.
Plus its some time for just me and him. Oh, and his brother and sister, and the cats, the fish, interfering neighbours….
I hope that the little lad got a gold star, or is that too competitive for these days
The teacher wrote “Well done Matthew, you have tried hard.”, and stamped a little “Keep it up” logo with a person on a bike.
Matt of course was very happy with this. 😀
