We had a lot of fun finding the origin on the protractor, understanding where to place it on an angle, and also whether to read the outer scale or the inner scale on the protractor to measure the angle. We also learned about angle classification, including acute, obtuse, right, straight and reflex angles. ![](https://darwen-st-james-c-of-e-primary-academy.schudio.com/images/news/Screenshot_2024-04-25_11.06.09.png) [Year 6](https://darwenstjames.co.uk/news/tag/year-6) [Maths](https://darwenstjames.co.uk/news/tag/maths) [![](https://files.schudio.com/darwen-st-james-c-of-e-primary-academy/imagecache/100x100c/news/Collage_2024-04-24_18_41_08.jpg)](https://darwenstjames.co.uk/news/2024-04-24-year-4-art-complimentary-colours-paul-klee) Previous ### [Year 4 Art - Complimentary Colours - Paul Klee](https://darwenstjames.co.uk/news/2024-04-24-year-4-art-complimentary-colours-paul-klee) [![](https://files.schudio.com/darwen-st-james-c-of-e-primary-academy/imagecache/100x100c/news/501f2969-af55-4e78-8856-12469959ef53_(1).jpg)](https://darwenstjames.co.uk/news/2024-04-26-year-3-art-exploring-different-patterns-from-other-cultures) Next ### [Year 3 Art - Exploring Different Patterns From Other Cultures](https://darwenstjames.co.uk/news/2024-04-26-year-3-art-exploring-different-patterns-from-other-cultures) ### Academy Life - [News](https://darwenstjames.co.uk/news) - [Events](https://darwenstjames.co.uk/events) - [Clubs](https://darwenstjames.co.uk/academy-life/basc) - [School Council](https://darwenstjames.co.uk/academy-life/school-council) - [Attendance](https://darwenstjames.co.uk/academy-life/attendance) - [Charities and Fundrasing](https://darwenstjames.co.uk/academy-life/charities-and-fundraising) - ![School Games Gold](https://files.schudio.com/darwen-st-james-c-of-e-primary-academy/images/partners/Gold_Logo_25-26(1).png) - ![Healthy school](https://files.schudio.com/darwen-st-james-c-of-e-primary-academy/images/partners/healthy_school.png) - ![Picture News](https://files.schudio.com/darwen-st-james-c-of-e-primary-academy/images/partners/6_Years_of_Picture_News.png) - ![AP smilestar](https://files.schudio.com/darwen-st-james-c-of-e-primary-academy/images/partners/Screenshot_2026-07-27_10.26.27.png) ##### Location St James Crescent Darwen Lancashire BB3 0EY ##### Contact Us 01254 703260 ##### Stay Connected - [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/Darwenstjames) - [Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/darwenstjames/) © Copyright 2021–2026 Darwen St James’ C of E Primary Academy School & Trust Websites by [ ![Schudio logo](https://darwenstjames.co.uk/img/logo/light.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/)
