Pirate Maths Measurement


We spent 3 weeks learning about measuring length. We learnt to order and compare things by length and also to measure length using centimetres and metres.

The Room 4 pirate crew braved the stormy seas one bleak wintery day to measure and make Captain Blood's sailing ship fleet. Our ships were 10 metres long with 3 masts and lots of special features like a crow's nest, a gangplank, portholes and plenty of man-eating fish swimming around in the sea.

Wow, what an exciting way to learn how to measure accurately. Did you dress up as pirates too?
