Hi everyone!
Here is the homework for my set, due in by 23/10/09. Have a read of the instructions….
1. Read the following puzzle.
2. Test out the statements at home to see if you can decide whether or not they are true or false.
3. Post a reply to this comment with your answers and explanations. Discuss what you found out please, not too brief!
Good luck everyone, keep at it and don’t give up!
Miss Higson.
Here’s the puzzle….
Mr Marshall’s vegetable plot is shaped in the form of a trapezium. From it he wishes to make two plots of equal area, each of which is to be a trapezium.
Investigate the truth of statements (i) and (ii).
As an extension, find one or more ways which will allow Mr. Marshall’s to have his preference for iii.
If you get stuck remembering definitions, have a look at this maths dictionary to help, it’s really good!

Today, 15th October 2009, the year 5′s had a interesting morning participating in Living History. Living History are theatre group that come into school every year to bring history to life. This group assisted the year 5′s knowledge of World War 2 by reinacting a day in the life of an evacuee.
They looked at rationing and the black market they realised how it affected their cooking and lifestyle. By experiencing the sounds of an air raid and pretending to sit inside an Anderson shelter give the children an insight into how frightening it would be.
Overall it was a very enlightening experience.
The Year 5′s all took part in a healthy eating session through Sports Linx! Hope everybody enjoyed the food!! Here are the pictures!! Leave a comment!!!
