As well as our Dragon challenge, we have been doing lots of other Jack and the Beanstalk related measuring activities this week.

We estimated how many of the Giant’s boots it would take to cross from one side of the gym to the other. Then we went into the gym to find the actual answer. We had to remember to line up the boots heel to toe and not to leave any spaces.

We used our Giant’s boots to find things that were longer, smaller or the same size. We drew and labelled the things we found in our special books. We visited the nursery in groups to measure things in there.

After that, we made beanstalk pictures with beanstalks that were longer, shorter or the same size as the boot.

On Friday, we used special “bean” rulers to measure things around the class. The rulers were only 10 “beans” long so we used two for things that were a wee bit longer.
