Good morning P6A!  I hope that you are all well today.  Here are this morning’s tasks:

Task 1 – Literacy – Writing

Here is the first sentence of your piece of writing.  Your task is to continue from this and write an imaginative text, developing a storyline which you think fits in with this start off sentence.

Your start off sentence is:

“What have you done?”  the Head Teacher bellowed, all eyes now turned to me as he stood over the lifeless body on the playground.

If we were co-creating a success criteria, think about what we might include today.

Task 2- Numeracy – Problem Solving

The Witch’s Cauldron

The witch needs a 24-leg potion to turn Mrs Egan into a frog.  In her potion jars, she has Spiders (8 legs) Lizards (4 legs) and Bats (2 legs)

Try to find all the possible spells to turn your teacher into a frog!   Here is one example:   2 spiders, 1 lizard and 2 bats would do the trick.

Be systematic and draw up an ordered list. Make a table of your results. Look for a pattern.

Extension Tasks – for those of you looking to do some more!

1) The witch needs a weaker potion (16-leg) to turn one of our School Captains into a frog.  Make a list of which creatures she would need to do this.

2) The witch needs a strong potion (32-leg) to turn Mrs McKissack into a frog!
