The Maths At Work class built and flew their own tetrahedral kites as part of their Extended Learning Line day this week. Pictured you can see Jess, James, Naomi and Daniel with the smaller and larger kite segments. The larger kite had no trouble taking off and it flew for quite some time before the students had to take shelter from rain and then snow!
This Friday was the first "Extended Line Day" for line 5 classes - we are having one per week starting August 10th. Some classes are taking the opportunity for long trips off campus, others are combining to do some different project work, while others are using the extra time to study topics in more depth. A number of guest speakers and presenters were invited to college and there were many "gourmet" lunches.
The panorama below is from Kay Filgate's mathematics class who spent the afternoon roaming the planet studying Earth Geometry, lattitudes/longitudes and the Seven Wonders of the World using Google Earth.
