This afternoon I challenged the groups to make ‘angle museums’ – they needed to show different sized angles and for extra points, identify those that are acute, obtuse, reflex, straight and right etc. Many of the groups did well and this activity helped to consolidate their morning learning which had mainly involved battling with protractors. Protractors were used in the afternoon but the children mainly made sensible estimations. I was very pleased with the discussions that we had about the different types of angles.

I also heated up water in my Kelly kettle to cook couscous – we have been comparing Scotland with South Africa and cooking couscous on a fire was as close as we could get to traditional African cooking. We discussed food miles etc and compared the food types with the vegetables that we had grown ourselves to make soup.

Behaviour not great today – I will re-jig the groups now that someone has left.
