AMAZING MATHS
Today we have started off our LENGTH unit thinking about the different ways we can measure.
We looked at rulers to think about what was bigger - mm, cm or m?
Pupils had a go at ordering these. We then thought about a 'km' and how it was.
1km = 1000m
Was our playground a km? Was it smaller or bigger? We used a trundle wheel to investigate. It turns out that our playground is approximately 50m.
One member of the class was able to identify that you'd need 20 length of the playground to equal 1 km.

OUR NEW TOPIC
Pupils are incredibly excited about our new topic!
Here is a famous quote about Adventure. Do you know who it is spoken by?
'I believe it is in our nature to explore, to reach out into the great unknown.
The only true failure would be not to explore at all.'
Good luck finding out who said this!
