P1b were practising their measuring skills at the beginning of the week when they were using a variety of items to measure different objects and pictures.  We measured with paper clips, lollysticks and even straws.  We learned that you have to make sure that the items are touching and that there are no big gaps in order to measure accurately.  We even practised our estimating skills and were quite close with a lot of our estimates!  Have a look at us in action and why not have a go at using some straws or cubes to estimate and then measure some things around your house.  Let us know how you get on!
