Today we were introduced to real tools for measuring.  This built upon our work last week on using toys, dinosaurs and ribbon for measuring.  We used metres to measure lots of different items outside.  We had fun trying to find really big things to measure.  We wrote down all of our measurements with chalk.  We learned that we can use the letter m to mean metres. We all worked very hard!

Some of us gave ourselves a huge challenge by attempting to measure a tree.  We soon realised why this would be too tricky.  We estimated that the tree was 11m.
