I have another hive game planned for today.

It will be the same time as yesterday’s: the code will be up at 12:55 and the game will start at 13:05. For those who have already emailed me today or yesterday, I will also send the code to those email addresses.

I have a had few questions about the Geography work for today – this will take quite a while to complete (I’d say at least an hour).

I’ve had some brilliant ideas and suggestions about the challenge questions – well done to Ben, Alex and Samuel who had some particularly creative solutions. Same as yesterday, I will post the relevant answers to all of today’s activities tomorrow morning for you to check. If you email me in your work, I can help with any errors then and there

This was the start of Alex’s working for the challenge question about the farmer:

We’ve also had another newspaper article in – have a look at Elliot’s below:

Check out Ellowyne’s fantastic newspaper article – especially if you’re stuck for ideas with your own.

Well done for yesterday’s work – I was sent some fantastic pieces!

Here are the answers.
Check your work from yesterday – if you’re not sure about any answers, send me an email. The time in which I will respond to emails has now been extended to include the whole school day (09:00 – 15:15).

I’ve had some answers for today’s challenge question; however, no-one (apart from Alex – who got there in the end with some help) has got it correct yet.

This problem is harder than it looks (it’s not 30).

Here’s a hint:
Remember that it climbs up the well before it slides back down.

We’ve just completed our first hive game from home. It worked reasonably well and we had quite a few taking part!

Here’s today’s top 3 (based on score):
1st Place – Elliot – 617,976
2nd Place – Chloe – 573,918
3rd Place – Samuel – 108,042

Here’s today’s top 3 (based on correct answers):
1st Place – Chloe – 18
2nd Place – Elliot – 16
3rd Place – Samuel – 13

Well done to all of those who took part. If you missed out, don’t worry – I’ll set one up each day at the same time!
