• Complete your ideas poster

Maths

• Christmas Maths
• Invent some challenging Christmas maths questions
• Here are some examples:
• Green - If there are 5 people at the table and everyone eats 6 sprouts, how many sprouts do we need?
• Amber - There are 37.5 million Christians in the UK. If Santa gives everyone a three presents, how many will he give out?
• Red - If the circumference of the chimney is ___ cm then what is the radius of Santa?
• Black - 
• Your challenge is to come up with more of your own
• And solve them...
• Keep a diary or write it on your blog. Why not include some pictures

Home Learning #13

Debate Club

• Debates next Friday
• Essay due in the same day
• Make sure you are handing in an 'essay', not just some notes scrawled on some paper. If you have any problems with it, tell me now - not on the day you need to hand it in. The worst excuses recently:
• "I didn't have any paper" - ANSWER: You are welcome to use as much from school as you need
• "I didn't have the internet" - ANSWER: I have told you in class what you are doing; you can ask me at any point if you have forgotten; you don't need the internet to research these debates - just ask people.
• "I was too busy" - ANSWER: No you weren't. Even if you are doing something every day after school and at weekends, you can always find at least one hour per week to do some home learning. You are going to high school next year and, although you might not believe me yet, you will be receiving about 4 times more homework than you currently get. Start getting into the habit of making time now!
• "I forgot" - ANSWER: Man up! Welcome to the list of shame!

Maths
