More About metres
Long ago, people used different ways to measure. They used their hands or feet. Then, they made a metre to help everyone. Now, we all use metres to talk about size.

Did you know that one day, we might use new ways to measure? Maybe we will use light or sound! But for now, metres are here to help us.
