Hi 6P,

below is  a computing task. If you click the link you will be taken to a website where you can do coding and ICT task to earn badges and awards that can be used in Secondary school. There are some really good and fun tasks on there so have a go.

Hi all here is the answer to the challenge question i posted on Monday.

Red 2

Pink 5

Brown 3

To answer this, first you should take away the differences from the total 10 - 1 - 3 = 6

Then divide this by how many baskets there are. This will give you the minimum eggs per basket. from reading the question i can see that the red basket has the least so this must be 2. The pink has 3 more so this must be 5 and the brown has one more so must be 3. Then I added them up to check they reached 10.

I will post another challenge tomorrow so keep visiting.

Week 3 and 4

Welcome back 6P.

I hope the Easter break has been good and you are safe. There are lots of thing to keep you busy at home on the Year 6 Home Learning page.
