Year 5 Class News “In maths we have been learning about perimeter. Perimeter is the distance around a shape. We went outside with a trundle wheel and measured the perimeter of the junior playground. We found out it was roughly 76 metres. In addition to this, we measured the perimeter of objects around the classroom. It was fun investigating different perimeters.” By Freya C. and Joe Year 5.
