On the 29th of June we got to measure things in our classroom. We did this because we were going to change our classroom around which was really exciting for us because we will not have desks except for one or two. We needed to find out all the measurements of everything so that we knew if it would be the right size to fit or not. We had to work with people we don’t normally work with. I was working with Josh. Before we started Miss Davies gave us a short learning session about measurement.
We had to do a worksheet which asked us to measure something but we had to estimate it first. We moved on to doing perimeter and area. To work out the area of a shape without using a grid is to use your ruler and measure the width and then the length you then times the length and then width.
We also learnt how to find the area and perimeter of a compound shape. You have to split the shape into the shapes it could be and then measure the area of each shape and put those answers together and then you get the answer. We learnt that the Perimeter of a shape is the outside of it and that the Area is the space inside it.
We all love our class and it is the best!

Sounds like fun. I wish school was this fun when I was little.
