Happy Friday P7s!

One week done! I hope that you had a good week and that you have spent some quality time with your family doing things that you enjoy!

Let’s have a challenge!!

When Nick shoots a basketball, he either sinks (i.e., makes) the shot or misses. For each shot Nick sinks, he is given 5 points by his father. For each missed shot, Nick’s Dad takes 2 points away. Nick attempts a total of 28 shots and ends up with zero points. How many shots did Nick sink?

The above table may be useful. An example trial of shots made and lost is shown.

This was taken from the website of the University of Waterloo in Canada. They’ve got lots of different problems to choose from! Comment below and tell me how you solved it!

In addition, because it’s the weekend, why not try to learn a different language? Like British Sign Language!

These lovely sisters on Youtube are teaching you how to sign in British Sign Language. I’ve really enjoyed learning how to say Good Morning and how to sign the ABCs! Can you learn how to sign your name?

Remember to have fun this weekend and I’ll talk to you on Monday!

All my love,

Mrs Lamb 🙂

P.S. Just so you don’t think I’ve just been sitting here writing reports, here is a picture of my nearly completed tapestry! Hopefully I can get it finished and sent off to be made into a pillow!
