Measuring Perimeter

Welcome back to Term 4 everybody.
It sounds like you all had amazing holidays and I was so excited to see you all back on Monday.
Term 4 is going to be a busy one- we have lots of amazing things to get through before Christmas.
We have had a great week this week, refreshing expectations and handing out lots of Roopu points for doing the right thing. 

We started learning about Perimeter this week. We know that it goes around the outside of a shape- like a fence around a garden. At first we though that Perimeter was going to be really hard but then we found out all we have to do is add the lengths of all of the sides together! The hardest part for us is remembering to put the right unit at the end.

We started exploring this concept by learning a cool new song

Then we had a chance to practice in groups. We had to measure the perimeter of different pencil cases and calculate it on the whiteboard. 
What a fun week we have had!
