To kick off our measurement learning we came up with some ways that we could measure our class to find out how tall we are. Some ideas were to stand on each others shoulders (we decided that one wouldn't work so well), to lie down head to foot in a big long line and measure the line and to measure everyone individually then add them together. We decided on trying out the last two ideas. First we measured each other and recorded our data in a google spreadsheet.
We then added it all together and even made a graph. Our combined height is 2929 cm or 29.29 m.
Then we all went down to the turf and lay in a big long line head to foot.
Hilary used the measuring wheel to measure us. We were all excited to see if we got the same result.
Yes! It said 29 metres. We are interested to find out how much we grow as a class so we will do this again at the end of the year!
