Protractors and Angles

This week we learnt how to use a protractor to measure angles. After taping the tables with masking tape, angles were measured, marked and checked for accuracy. Extra for experts…any triangles that were formed within the taped areas, the interior angles were measured making sure they added up to 180.

The Metal Dragon

This wonderfully illustrated story, written by Julio and Nino, is in response to our work on Pennies for Hitler. In pairs students were asked to ‘fill in the gaps’ of a story told by Georg to the younger boys in his cabin, on their way to Australia. Students used the ‘skeleton’ of the story and developed their own version of events.
