Circumference and Diameter stuff!

WALT: investigate the pattern between a circular object's circumference and its diameter.
For maths we have been learning about Circumference and Diameter! what we did was, we wrapped string around a circular object then measured the length of string to find the circumference. then we stretched the string from one edge to another to find the diameter. We continued this for a variety of objects and recorded them on a Google Sheet. then we had to calculate the circumference divided by the diameter. the answer should add up to 3.14... ,or something close to that, that is pi.
here is some stuff I measured and the results:

I was away for the first season so I was very confused at the start but by the end i was really getting and enjoying do it. I think I could maybe measured some bigger objects but I think I did okay.
what could i do better next time? did you learn anything? If you did this would you find it interesting?
