Filbert the Fox!

Here is our new virtual pet Filbert (thanks to our blog friends at http://missscottsclass.global2.vic.edu.au/ for the idea!)

He gets very lonely on this blog so please play with him! What kinds of adventures do you think Filbert could get up to? Leave a comment letting us know – you might inspire us for a story!

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!
