measuring photos

What are some other parts of our bodies we could measure?

How does guessing and estimating help us when measuring?
What jobs or professions need to be really good at measuring?
Think about the measuring tools that may have been used before standard units were introduced eg. mm, cm, m and so on.
What kind of teamwork can you see?

I hope WHH has washed his feet!! :)
How long are SH's toenails?


Where do you need to start measuring on your ruler?
Is my foot as big as my hand?

Still Life Drawings

We have been doing some art. We got to choose what table we were going to sit at. The type of art we were doing was  'still life drawing'. On one table was 3 vases, on another table was 2 breakfast tools (toast slice and salt and pepper holder), on another table there was a candle stick holder, on another table there was a teapot. We used sketching pencils, if we didn't have one we got to use Mrs Penberthy's if we had one then we got to use our own. We did shading to the 'still life drawings'.We also darkened the edges. Now some of us have finished and they are on the wall. Some of us haven't finished,so they are still working on it.


4th Baby visit with baby Adam and Candice


  On Thursday baby Adam came with Candice. He has grown a bit bigger because he has more hair. We were proud of him because he can get three balls but he can only hold two balls. In this picture he is only holding one ball. We showed him Melody but he wasn't interested.

measuring

Today we did some measuring with ruling tape. We also measured some parts of our body. We first estimated our measurements and then we actually measured them.  We are learning about the units of measurement such as millimetres, centimetres, metres, kilometres, kilograms and lots more. It is fun to measure.

COMMENTS ON BOOK REVIEW

Well done to the people who have been making really great comments to the posts. A good example of specific comments can be found on Jeffrey's Captain Underpants. I like the way you have told him exactly what you like about his book review. Good job.

JZ book review "Captain Underpants"

Book Review By Jeffrey 
Book Title: Captain Underpants and the Attack of the Talking Toilets Author: Dav Pilkey
The book is about two cool kids named George and Harold. They liked making comics about a super hero named Captain Underpants. Everybody thought their comics were funny except for their mean principal Mr.Krupp. Once Mr.Krupp was being mean to George and Harold so they brought a ring and hypnotized Mr.Krupp. They turned him into Captain Underpants but Mr.Krupp thought he was really Captain Underpants so he went to fight monsters. George and Harold tried to stop him but they had to save the world first. When you poured water over Captain Underpants’s head he would turn back to Mr.Krupp and when you snapped your fingers he would turn back to Captain Underpants . George and Harold have been really bad student but however they are still smart.Once Melvil made a pasty2000 it can make photo copy into real life but George and Harold didn’t trust him so they made a comic about talking toilets and put it on the pasty2000 .Suddenly it came to real life. Captain Underpants tried to stop them but the talking toilets ate him up. The Talking Toilets were chasing everybody in town and the chase was on..........The end part of 1 (short story) My favourite part was when the talking toilet was chasing everybody in town.I would recommend it to people who like super hero comics(funny)
