Today P2-4 had great fun measuring outside. They worked in small groups and recorded their results on their clipboard.<\/p>\n

Each group worked out how many giant steps, fairy steps and how long a people chain they needed to measure from one part of the playground to the other. But everybody was ending up with different answers!<\/p>\n

There had to be a solution… Then we came up with the answer – a metre stick! This was a standard size and so our measurements were the same.<\/p>\n

We also had a go at using a trundle wheel too. We really enjoyed measuring using metres.<\/p>\n
