Marvellous Measuring!

This week we have been learning about how to measure the length of something. We have found out that you can measure things using non-standard units of measure and standard units of measure. It is important that whatever you use you must be accurate and take your time. We have had lots of fun using different things to measure with. Remember to estimate first then record your results accurately!
Have a look at our photos of us measuring different things using non-standard units of measure...

Broadgreen House Visit - November 15th

Today we had a fantastic day at Broadgreen House. We saw lots of things from the past and heard all about how the Buxton family used to live over 100 years ago. The kitchen was fascinating because we saw the huge pots that they cooked in and the old copper that they used to boil water in to wash the clothes. The lives of maids and cooks back then must have been very hard as they had to cook and clean for over 15 people!





After we finished looking through the house we had a picnic lunch and then did some sketching. It was a wonderful day full of lots of learning experiences. A big thank you to all of the parents who came and helped us.
