Measurement
This term one of our math focuses is on measurement. Here the students have been learning and exploring how to measure length and width using rulers, tape measures, metre rulers and measuring wheels.
Measuring the length of a Blue Whale
We have also been watching parts of a movie called a Plastic Ocean where we have been learning about the devastating effects of plastic in our oceans. We learnt that blue whales can grow up to 30 metres long so we decided to see just how long this is using a metre wheel. We came to the conclusion that a blue whale is as long as our school court!
This is how long a blue whale can reach! Each student from our class is standing 1 metre apart.
