Back from the "Blink"

2010 offically starts now for me. I have been unable to do pretty much anything for 2 weeks due to acute conjunctivitis. Looking at a computer screen was a definite no-no. However, my eye sight is returning, and I can start to fulfil one of my new year's resolutions; blog more!

For my first lesson back, made the most of the snow by getting year out on the football pitches to explore radius, diameter and circumference by pacing out circles in the snow. We will calculate our approximations for Pi on Friday, although, initially, they look quite accurate. Interestingly, they thought the smaller circles would be more accurate - can year 8s deal with percentage error? Probably!
