Measuring slides

Room 10 this week have been measuring.

We have been using lots of different tools for measuring: rulers, tape measures, scales and balls of string.

We have measured how tall we are, how much we weigh, how long the deck outside the classroom is and even how far we can flick a tiddly wink! Best of all was using our estimation skills in deciding which slide is the longest at Nelson Central School. Some of us estimated the white slide and some the blue slide as the shortest, but we all estimated the yellow slide as the longest. Whilst measuring we discovered the blue slide is the shortest and the yellow is the longest by 10m!

The best part was getting to go down the slides once we had measured them!!
