Mālō bloggers,
Over the last two weeks, the Middle Syndicate has been investigating measurement. At first, we estimated (guessed) how big things were in our classes. We used popsicle sticks and blocks to measure a range of things and objects in our learning spaces.
After that, we created our own measuring tools as we learnt more about centimetres and unit measurement.
We started to measure things again, this time with our rulers. From handspan, to leg length, to the distance around our head. We even measures the size of our feet and compared to the rest of the people in our class.
Finally, we did our own experiments seeing how big different creatures are around the world and how their sizes compare to each other. We even measured how big a blue whale is and used the corridor of our classrooms. Can you guess how big a blue whale is?
(Waving to show the size of a blue whale)
Thanks for reading,

ReplyDeleteYour measurement looks really cool. Thanks for teaching us about estimating (guessing) we are going to try that out.
We have actually measured our heads and hands too! Who had the biggest feet in your class?
Thanks from your friends in Room 4 at Tamaki Primary School.
