During Big Maths this week, the children have been learning to measure surface area. We used counters and gem stones to measure the area of a variety of shapes. We found that the cat shape had the largest surface area with it requiring 179 gem stones!
Our fairy tale this week during topic time has been 'The Three Little Pigs'. Just like in the story, the children tried to make houses of straw, sticks and bricks! We decided unanimously that the brick houses were the strongest, although it was lots of fun using our imagination to create our designs!
Great to see the children learning outdoors. James talking about the metre stick and measuring things at home :)
