In reading we have been working on our comprehension strategies. Last week we focused on visualisation - they way we can create mental images when we read to deepen our understanding of the text. We read a short passage that explained how to measure a very tall object without having to climb it and we visualised how we would do this.
Yesterday we went out and put this knowledge into practice.We used a method which involved lining the tip and bottom of the pencil with the tip and bottom of the object we are measuring,then we turned the pencil on its side and our partners (who were standing at the base of the object) moved to the edge of the pencil,then we measured the distance from him/her to the pole.Dewald and I did this with the rugby posts and the size of them were 6.5 metres(according to the method).
