For the next few weeks we will be focusing on measurement.

Can you please bring along a named stuffed toy for measuring ready for Friday.

Today the students brainstormed as a class what they already know about measurement and here is some of their thinking.

Why do we measure things?

• Adults need to be able to measure the size of the roots of the plant so you can get the perfect pot to fit.
• If you are moving house you need to be able to measure if your table will fit in a box.
• You have to measure how long things are – e.g. if you are getting a pool you need to know how long or big your backyard is so that you can fit your pool to your space.
• For work – eg carpenters need to be able to measure how long tables are.

What do we measure?

• Table
• Cupboards
• Oven
• Walls
• Wood
• Whiteboards
• Paper

How do we measure things?

• Ruler
• Machine
• Tape measure
• Stick
• Feet
• Tree
• Fingers
• pop stick

Over the next few weeks will will be looking at changing  misconceptions, exploring mass, length, area and capacity through lots of hands on experience and working with our numeracy coach and Room 12.

 

6 Weeks to go!!

We have read Diary of wombat by Jackie French & Bruce Whatley, please feel free to add it to the top part of the list.

Please put their sheets into their blue bags and we can help students to fill the rest out as well.

Don’t forget they can add their library books to the bottom section as well as their reader books.

Please let us know if you have any questions.

Well done to the four students who have handed theirs in.

Kind Regards

Bianca
