After lunch each day tamariki come in and sit on the mat for a 'fruit break'. The whetu for the day chooses some books for me to read at this time from the library in the class. This is a lovely time of day where I get an inkling of the different things a tamaiti likes. This day was Sonny's choice. He chose a book about the tuatara and another about animals.
From the second book came the discussion about blue whales and how big they are. The book told us they grew to an average length of 25m. It is very hard to imagine how long this might be. Out came the metre rulers! And out we went to measure out how long this is!
