New buddy class

Room 7 and Room 14 are buddy classes this term.  

Mrs Hedge and her year 3 and 4 students came up to our room this Friday for our 2nd buddy class.

Our mathematics strand unit this term is measurement, so this was our focus.

First the big buddies traced around their little buddies, then we looked around the room to see what we could use to measure different parts of their outlines.

Thaddeus and his big buddies discussing ways they could measure him.

 The children came up with interesting ways to measure their outlines.

 Pens, crayons, blocks, handprints, feet, even heads were used as a unit to measure with.
