The World's Tallest and Smallest Men Meet

Click on the picture to read the article.

This morning Oliver showed a newspaper article to the class.  The article was about the tallest man in the world meeting the smallest man in the world.

The article said that the tallest man was 2.51cm, so we got out the tape measure to see how high this was (I had to stand on a desk!).  If you have seen our fish paintings hanging in Room 12, then the tallest man is just a bit taller than those.

The smallest man was 55cm.  We discovered that this was about as high as one of our classroom chairs!

What an interesting article!  Thanks, Oliver!

Today Room 12 are bringing home a notice asking for children 

to come to school in their OLD clothes for the day.  

We are painting with exterior paint, so we don't want to get paint on our 

gorgeous school uniforms.
