Today we have learnt about perimeter but rather than just measuring around the outside of shapes on a piece of paper we got to make our own. We used art straws to make our own shapes. We measured each of the sides and then added them together to find the total length of the perimeter. We were able to check our working out by lining each of the straws up against our rulers to check if they came to the same total that we calculated. ### perimeter [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-josephs-chorley/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/3783/IMG_4968.JPG)](https://files.schudio.com/st-josephs-chorley/images/gallery/3783/IMG_4968.JPG) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-josephs-chorley/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/3783/IMG_4969.JPG)](https://files.schudio.com/st-josephs-chorley/images/gallery/3783/IMG_4969.JPG) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-josephs-chorley/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/3783/IMG_4974.JPG)](https://files.schudio.com/st-josephs-chorley/images/gallery/3783/IMG_4974.JPG) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-josephs-chorley/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/3783/IMG_4986.JPG)](https://files.schudio.com/st-josephs-chorley/images/gallery/3783/IMG_4986.JPG) [ The Naughty Bus](https://st-josephs-chorley.schudio.com/blog/2015-10-05-14-15-00-the-naughty-bus) [Fun at Hothersall! ](https://st-josephs-chorley.schudio.com/blog/2015-10-05-14-30-00-fun-at-hothersall) ![St. Joseph’s Catholic Primary School](https://files.schudio.com/st-josephs-chorley/images/logo/1200250668080298.137XSqlECvZ07rj3bGkr_height640_(6).png) #### St. Joseph’s Catholic Primary School Cedar Road Chorley PR6 0JF 01257 265998 01257 233107 © Copyright 2015–2026 St. Joseph’s Catholic Primary School School & Trust Websites by [ ![Schudio logo](https://st-josephs-chorley.schudio.com/img/logo/light.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/)
