The reading tests are all completed now and we are busy looking at how the children have done, then we can make sure that those who need it are challenged and those who need a little support can get it. We have started in earnest this week with the spelling tests throughout school and hope to have those completed over the next week or so.

 

In other news, book club began again on Tuesday lunchtime. It was lovely to see the enthusiasm for reading from those who came along and great to hear about the books people have been reading over the summer.

 

Mathematic challenges for this week, let me know how you get on with them.

 

Infant Challenge:

 

Witch Hazel wants to make a special potion.  It can only have 10 animal legs in it.

She has these ingredients in stock:

  • Spiders with 8 legs
  • Lizards with 4 legs
  • Bats with 2 legs. 

Which ingredients did she use to make her potion?

 

Junior Challenge:

 

In a 6 x 4 milk crate, arrange 18 bottles so that when added vertically or horizontally the number of bottles when added is always even.

 

Good luck and enjoy!
