Novelty Clocks & Cardinal Points

15th Dec 2021

5th and 6th class put their knowledge of lines and angles to the test recently as they completed their own novelty clocks. They spaced each hour 30° apart although some children decided to create clocks by the minute, each 6° apart.


Both classes also completed the 16 cardinal points of a compass, each 22.5° apart. They used the different points to identify countries around the world and then used their knowledge of lines of longitude and latitude to pinpoint these locations.
