Last week we were learning more about whaling in Dundee. We learned about the Tay Whale and Andrew went to learn more about it in a book. When he couldn’t find any information , he researched it on the internet and found it was 40 foot long. Mrs Taylor told him that a f ruler is a foot long and suggested he might like to measure the length in the corridor.

Mason helped him , but as we only have 33 rulers they soon ran out . They calculated that they would need another 7 rulers and borrowed these from P3 to finish their measuring.

It was fun to use our learning across the curriculum and we were all amazed at how long the whale was!

Today we saw the Tay whale at the Mc Manus galleries. It really is huge!
