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!
