5th Class are learning about angles.
We were using protractors
and learning that a right angle is
ninety degrees.
Teacher thought there would be
a lot of work to do learning about angles.
But it turned out many of the students
knew a great deal about angles already.
This is because of stunts they can do
on their scooters and skateboards.
Cian knows about scooter stunts.
Here is what he said.
The 1080-degree spin is three full rotation.
‘All these stunts are just about possible. It’s all about practice.
Try these stunts over and over again.
Balance and skill will come over time so just keep practising.
It will take a while to master each stunt
but keep setting yourself targets and eventually
you will get there.’
You can see some simple scooter tricks here.
Most importantly Cian says:
‘Be safe. Always wear your helmet, elbow and knee pads’.
