We measured the height and circumference of trees in our woodlands this week! We used our bodies to measure and we hugged the trees. We measured our arm span and any space between our hands to work out the circumference. To measure the height of the tree we got somebody to hold a meter stick near the tree and then we went back until our finger was the same length as the meter stick. We used our fingers as a meter and we measured how tall the tree was! We recorded our finding s in our outdoor journals! We also used tape measures and rulers!
