We have been learning about estimating and  measuring length using metres and centimetres.  We used our measuring skills to create fish that were exactly 10 cm long.  We used a ruler. We remembered that when you are measuring in cm you need to make sure that you begin at the start of the scale rather than from the end of the ruler.

Any fish that were exactly 10 cm made it into our special fish tank. Any fish that were bigger or smaller than 10cm had to go into a different tank.

We enjoyed working independently and most of us are feeling more confident about measuring in cm. We will continue to practice our measuring skills and can hopeully use them in a creative way throughout Primary 3.
