On Wednesday last week we did some baking as part of our measurement work. We had done some work based on the Gingerbread Man story and so Mrs Kingi thought it would be great fun to bake some gingerbread.
We were all very excited and loved getting to help measure, mix and make. Parents you now have some gingerbread men making experts.

Measurement Lesson
This week for our strand maths we were investigating measuring using gingerbread men.
First we watched a video to remind us of the story of the gingerbread man.
Then we got to work.
Some of us choose to dress the gingerbread man. That required us to think about the size of his clothes, how we were going to attach it and how we would measure the clothing so it would fit.
Another group decided to work out which order of size our gingerbread family would need to go in to cross the river. It had to be either smallest to biggest or biggest to smallest.
And finally a few students used our gingerbread man to work out what things were smaller, bigger or the same size as the gingerbread man.
