Measuring Pirate Ships

The boys' measuring the height of the ship.
Our mission today was to create a pirate ship. We had some measurements we had to follow and then we could add features to the pirate ship as long as we measured them. 
We are learning to measure in meters (m) and centimeters (cm). 

We also needed to practice our working together skills.
Rana, Logan and Mya adding features
to their pirate ship. Notice how they have
labelled all their measurements.
Toby, Thomas and Jeevanjot working together to
measure the hull of their ship.
George and Teague working togther to
create their hull
The boys' deciding how long to make their mast.
Jeevanjot is looking out from the crows nest, Thomas is firing the cannon
and Toby is staring the ship. Look how huge their pirate ship is. 
George is firing the cannon and Jerome is climbing the mast.
The cannon is 1m and 50cm long.

There were amazing pirate ships measured. The photos were very difficult to take because the ships were so big. If you look on the netball courts, before it rains, you will see our ships.
