Measuring Trees

Mrs Mattingley comes in each week and takes a reading group for us.  This week they have been reading about trees.  In one of the stories they found out how to measure out how high a tree is.  Here is Cecillia's story:

Edelma, Teagan, Te Whetu and I went to measure the tree.  We measured the tree with a meter ruler.  We had to hold the ruler in front of us and walk backwards until the bottom of the stump is the same as the ruler.  One person had to stand beside the tree and walk sideways until that person is parallel with the end of the ruler.  I got to have a turn first.  My partner had to stand beside the tree, that my Teegan.
