Today we were using the RACECAR idea to help us problem solve.

We had to experiment and check our answer was correct, by following the information in the question.

here is the problem – can anyone at home work out the correct solution?

***NO HELPING KIDS!***

A farmer needs to take a chicken, a fox and a bag of grain across a river.

He can only take one thing in his boat at a time.

He can’t leave the fox alone with the chicken.

He can’t leave the chicken alone with the grain.

What order does he take the animals across the river in?

He can go across and back as many times as he wants.

We were also continuing to apply what we have learned in French. We were designing a French calendar using our knowledge of numbers, days and months and we were using google translator to help us work out the French names for different events throughout the year.
