MEASURING WITH HANDSPANS!

Today we measured different objects in the classroom using HANDSPANS.   We found out that the whiteboard table was about 30 handspans long! A handspan is from the tip of your thumb to the tip of your pinky when your hand is stretched out wide.   We love Maths!

WHO HAS GOT THE LONGEST FEET?

This week we are learning all about Length.   Today we drew around our shoe and measured the length of our footprint using blocks.   We found out Mrs Lunn had the biggest feet.   Her footprint was 13 blocks long.   Alexis,  Matty and Sam had the biggest feet of us kids and Leah had the smallest feet.  
We loved measuring our feet today so much so,  that we might ask our family if we can measure their feet!

DIVISION SUPER STARS!

Today the Triangles maths group were learning about division.  They had to share the beans out to the chickens equally and record what they had done mathematically.   Mrs Lunn was very impressed with how quickly they picked this concept up.

HI FROM AUCKLAND!

Hi LC 2!  I'm in Auckland today. I took this photo out of the plane window... luckily there was no giraffe peeking back at me!   Have a great day with Mrs Pyle.

Love Mrs Lunn
