Blue Sky School

On Tuesday September 24th we went on a field trip to Ikea. We started our day with breakfast with students from Sir Guy and then we played some card games, Friends trivia, and talked. Then we were sent off in groups to complete some measurement challenges. We split up into our groups then we were given a list of seven different exciting measurement challenges to complete within a two hour time frame. We learned so much information that will help us excel in the future. Each group completed as much as possible then met up to debrief with the whole group. This activity was so much fun, I hope there will be more fantastic activities like it.

Lately at Blue Sky School, we have been focusing on measurement.  Not too long ago we had HOMEWORK! I know what you’re thinking “WHAT, HOMEWORK AT BLUE SKY SCHOOL! NONSENSE!” I know! We had to measure our walls in our room, the windows and doors. Later we found out that we got to use the measurements to create a model of our rooms. We learned how to convert the measurements we took into a smaller scale.  After learning about measurement, we went on a field trip to Ikea for the morning. We went there to practice measurement and budgeting in the real world.
