• Buddy's Measurement Challenge

  Wed 23 Jan 2019 Buddy Seker

  Hello Buddy's buddies! 

  Today, I heard that Belinda the nurse was in school, doing the weight and height checks for Year 6, so I thought I'd get in on the act!

   

  Belinda took my measurements and I'm going to set you some problems based on my weight (14.15kg) and height (60.5cm) Choose a problem that will provide a good level of challenge for you and share your answer with your teacher. Tell him or her that Buddy has said there are 2 Buddy Dojos on offer for everyone who has a go! 

   

  1) If I grow another 10cm, how tall will I be?

  2) My favourite toy is 20cm high. How much taller am I?

  3) Round my height to the nearest whole cm.

  4) Every day I need to eat 1g of dry dog food for every 700g of my weight. How many grams of food should I eat each day?

  5) I was 4kg when I first came to school in April. What has been my average monthly weight gain?

   

  And here's a bonus Ernie question....

   

  Mrs Seker says if you halved my weight it would be 7.7.5kg. Is she right? Explain why/why not.

• Happy New Year!

  Sun 06 Jan 2019 Mrs Jo Seker

  Happy New Year Everyone!

   

  I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas break and that you are ready for the new term.  Let’s make 2019 the best year ever at Oldswinford!

   

  Today (January 6th) is an important day in the Christian calendar and also the day when traditionally, Christmas decorations should be taken down. I will be leading Collective Worship at 10am tomorrow morning and I am going to set you a number puzzle based on this special event:

   

  Add the total number of visitors to the number of days they travelled.

   

  If anyone guesses correctly by writing the answer on a note and putting it on my desk before 10am tomorrow, you will earn a special dojo! Don’t forget to write your name on the note. 

  I am looking forward to seeing you all tomorrow, as is Buddy!

  Warmest wishes,
  Mrs Seker.
