Launching Learning in Length
30th Oct 2024
This term, P3/4 have been exploring length. First we explored a metre, measuring items in our outdoor classroom, using metre sticks and trundle wheels, but we wondered what we should do to measure the shorter items outside. This then led us on to exploring a centimetre, where we used a ruler to measure minibeasts and also learnt how to accurately draw lines in centimetres. We were also inquisitive about our heights and how we could measure them. What would happen if we were taller than a metre but shorter than two metres? So we measured the lengths of parts of our body using both metres and centimetres.
