Paper Planes

We are using paper planes to help us learn about measurement. The challenge was to throw a paper plane and then measure the distance it flew, but...we weren't allowed to use a ruler! So we measured in dictionaries, people, feet, sticks, cars,...

I have learned...
Dictionaries are not a good way to measure because they are all different sizes.
People are not a good way to measure because people are not the same size.
Feet are a good guessing way of measuring.

For maths this term we are doing measurment. We learned using things that don't stay the same size is not an accurate way of measuring, so instead we use metres and centimetres and millimetres. Boy, Wheae A,you have taught us some cool stuff!
