It's not just Mr Jewell and his P7 class who've been taking maths outdoors. Having been banned from climbing buildings due to health and safety restrictions the S3/4 class managed to measure the height of the school using some marvellous maths.
Deborah can be seen measuring the angle of elevation using a clinometer, Gabriella is working out the distance to the base of the wall using a trundle wheel and I think Craig is writing his memoirs.
They then had to measure the distance from the ground to eye level as shown by Daniel and Megan below.
Then with the aid team-work (see below), nifty diagrams and some basic trigonometry the pupils managed to work out the height of the building.
As if that news isn't enough here's a bonus song for all our loyal readers.
