3/4 Gollogly have begun to explore measurement through multiple hands-on and hearts-on experiences. A visit from two snails who were seeking recommendations for a holiday adventure in the classroom prompted the students to embark on this challenge. The class creatively worked together using a variety of informal and formal strategies to measure the length and time of the trip. The students have also personalised and extended their learning of perimeter by finding the perimeter of their own name. Through these challenges, the students have been making meaningful connections with the work we have been doing during our spelling inquiry with the words discover, explore, and build. We have found that some of the discoveries we are making in Mathematics can also be applied during our investigations in Science as we begin to learn about the shapes, relative sizes and positions of the Sun, Earth and Moon.
