The children in Year 6 have been learning about volume. To begin with, they used multilink cubes to make 3D shapes of given volumes and learnt that shapes with the same volume can look very different. Then, they used the cubes to make 3D shapes from pictures and find their volumes. The children
The boys and girls in Year 3 have enjoyed using different units of measurement to explore length and height. To begin, they used 30cm rulers to measure in centimetres and millimetres. Then they used metre sticks to measure the length of objects in the playground, recording their answer in metres
