Finishing Off, for the parents as well

First of all, let me say 'Well done!' to Mohammed and Anastasia. They were the only ones who found the answers to the bonus question from yesterday's homework. I know it was up to you whether to do it but it does show a high level of effort and enthusiasm from those two. Congratulations both and it's four class points for Anastasia and 9 (!) for Mohammed. The answers are below. Click on their names to find out more.

On a second point, one mum was telling me that she wishes that we still had Daily Maths every day. I'm not sure if the kids would agree but it did get me thinking. If you want to do all 5 of the Daily Maths tasks, you are quite free to do so. Just remember to do the assigned homework first and try not to give the kids too much to do. I will give Daily Maths 1 on Saturday, 3 on Monday and 4 on Tuesday so you can do 2 and 5 on Sunday and Wednesday if you want to.

Lastly, only 2 parents in all of the Middle School got the Maths Quiz right this week! Mr Hugo worked out that you could get 360 housepoints for your kid's team if everyone sent in the right answer. So come on kids, come on parents! Have a go at the Maths Quiz from Jeddah Journal this weekend and we'll see how many more points we get next week.
