MATHS CHALLENGE OF THE WEEK – Cash Converter
Well done to everybody who attempted last week’s question. Both Andie and Kasha commented with correct ways to make 99 and have won 5 HPs each. Go back to the challenge to see their correct answers.
And here is this week’s challenge…
Start the maze with no money. Go through the maze, collecting and losing your money as you go. You may not go through any box more than once, and can only go into a box through a gap, for example, you may not go from 5 to 6, or from 7 to 3.
For example:
Start -> Box 1 + £100 (£100) -> Box 5 lose £50 (£50) -> Box 9 + £10 (£60) -> Box 13 lose £10 (£50) -> Box 14 + £20 (£70) -> Box 15 lose £10 (£60) -> Box 16 + £30 (£90) ->
I come out with £90 at the end of the maze.
What is the biggest amount of money you can come out of the maze with? Comment on the blog below and show your working – the person with the biggest amount at the end of the week will get 5 HPs!

Migration, Migration, Migration.
As we head into a fresh new term we are moving on to our new IPC unit – Migration and Moving People – and we would really appreciate your help!
Leicester is a proud multicultural city with many different people, cultures, nationalities and religions. This is because lots of people have moved to Leicester from other countries for different reasons, from finding a new job to problems in their native country.
Do you know anybody who moved to England from a different country? Did you used to live abroad yourself? If so please leave a comment below as we would really like to learn about your experience and hear some of the reasons why you moved. We will be looking at this post over the next 6 weeks so anything you could share would be helpful 🙂 thank you!

MATHS CHALLENGE OF THE WEEK – Plus Plus Plus!
Well done to Charlie and Nicholas who answered the last maths challenge correctly with an answer of 27 triangles!
Here is your next maths challenge:
Where should you put plus signs between the digits below to make a total of 99?
9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1
For example, you could try:
9 + 8 + 76 + 6 + 5 + 4 + 3 + 21 = 126 (too high!)
9 + 8 + 7 + 6 + 5 + 4 + 3 + 2 + 1 = 45 (too low!)
There are two solutions to this problem but they are not easy to find so you may need to try a few different ways!
Have a go at this problem yourself and post your answer as a comment below.

Scooby’s Shadow
Last week Year 6 recieved a very important email. It said:
Being the kind and helpful year group that we are we set out to investigate how to change the size of Scooby’s shadow without changing the size of Scooby.
Armed with mini Scooby Doos, rulers and torches we headed for the dark depths of the Ideas Room and set to work.
We tried moving the light source closer and farther away from Scooby, and also tried moving Scooby closer and farther away from the light source. We then wrote up our experiment and some children found some time in their busy schedules to email Raja back. Below is what some of them had to say:
We hope we helped you Raja! What do you think about our investigation? Leave us a comment to let us know 🙂

Should schools close when it snows? THE FINAL RESULT
As you may have read, a few weeks ago we asked you your opinion on whether schools should close when it snows. We read all of your comments (so thank you!) and used lots of them as ideas in our own arguments. Here in our 6CSH English class we are very proud of what we have written and thought we would share some of our writing with you.
Leandro argued that schools should stay open when it snows. He began his argument by saying…
“Some people think that we should come to school when it is snowing because it gives you good education . Now I am going to tell you all of the resume why chilled shuned go to school when it is.I snowing would like to point out that parents still have to go work in all conditions. It is important that we go to school because our carers wounld like to have a time out.”
Leyton continued saying that schools shouldn’t close when it snowed because…
“Some children say that school shouldn’t close because you can learn more. Children think they will be safer at home then at school but you all know that’s throw. Children say tha can go out with thera frends at home but you can at schoo. But if you ask me it will be better at school then at home.”
Alex also argued that…
“School should not be closed only because is snowing and that doesn’t mean you can not learn and if school be close you will not get a good education and you will not play with your friends on the snow if you think school should be closed because of the snow why can you go at side and play?”
On the other hand, Jake believed that schools should be closed when it snows. He began by saying…
“I am going to point out that some people thing school should be closed because of snow and I am going to tell you why. Some children do not want to stay at school because Little kids get really cold they are so small.”
Korben believed too that schools should close because…
” When it snows the radiators could freeze up and stop working. This means that school should be closed because children can’t concentrate in the cold. “
Jeanna also added…
“So that is what some children say so there is not any accidents on the way to school.”
Brandon, Jade, John Paul, Sabrina and Lexx also had some excellent ideas for their arguments.
So what do you think now? Have we persuasded you to change your mind or do you agree with what we have to say? Please let us know by commenting on this post – we love to hear your comments and they really help us improve our writing!
