Outdoor maths on Holy Island and Lowick

16th January 2025
Last term year 3s visited Holy Island for practical seaside themed maths, this term it was year 4s' turn.  We were practising estimating in metres on both yards (Holy Island and Lowick).  The children estimated a metre and then checked to see how close they were. Then they practised with other measurements greater than 1m.  
 
Then we measured the perimeter of both yards - we though Lowick's yard would be bigger but we didn't know how much they would both be exactly.  Year 3 measured the Lowick yard and year 4 measured at Holy Island.  Great practical work and collaboration from both year groups - well done!  Back at school the next day the children will be exploring scale drawings to present their findings.
