Measuring Our Plants.

Sophie, Lutie, Anika, Daisy and Jenesis worked very hard today to measure the height of the vegetables and to record their measurements on their clip boards. They helped to sound out the names of the vegetables as I wrote them down. They then carefully copied them from the whiteboard onto their clipboards.

The care and attention they took to write down the numbers and letters correctly was commendable. 

We had a conversation about millimetres and then introduced the term centimetres and the symbol ‘cm’. I explained that as centimetres was such a long word, ‘cm’ was a short way to write it.

The baking team picked some of our chives, silver beet and spring onions to put on the pizzas today. They were delicious!
