We are learning about living things and this week we were looking at plants and how they grow. We planted some cress seeds and we are keeping a diary to show how they grow. We are using our measuring skills to track their height.

Sam: We put the soil and the seeds into a pot with Mrs Given.

Millie E: In our cress diaries we wrote instructions.

Kyle: The instructions tell you how to plant the cress seeds.

Beni: We drew a picture of the plants.

In maths we are learning more about measure. Today we measured lots of things inside and outside the classroom. We have been practising using measure words including longer and shorter.

Here are some of our measurements:

Measuring is an important life skill and lots of jobs rely on accurately measuring things.

Ryan: My dad measures lots of things for his work, he is a joiner and a builder.

Sam: My Uncle is a builder and he makes roofs so he needs to measure.

Aaron: You might need to measure a wall to paint it.
