In maths we have been learning about length, perimeter and area. We held a Mini Olympics in the gym. The five events were the long jump, high jump, shot putt, javelin and trolley push. For each event we had to use our estimating and measurement skills to calculate distances and averages.
We also learned how to calculate the perimeter of circles, the area of regular and irregular shapes. With this, we were set the task of calculating the area of our classroom floor for new flooring and underlay, as well as new skirting and architrave. Once we calculated the areas and lengths needs we were able to price everything up using online prices!
