Good morning all, I have tried to go a little easier on everyone today. wink

Callistemon Thu 16-Apr-20 10:37:17

Yes

I couldn't see a symbol so used place value.
Although the placing could be interpreted two ways because of the odd positioning.

I'm going to do some gardening before I over-think it - again grin

Oh trisher you sound clever. I think I’ll sit next to you and copy your workings out ?

squiffy grin Hope you can bring him in again soon. Even if he did eat my sandals.

Cor you smell posh bathsheba . I could smell you from the other side of the class ?

36 ! I'm loving these problem solving but now want fish and chips !
Fish and chips = big hips !

trisher Thu 16-Apr-20 10:47:27

Me and Callistemonare on top table Doodle. Miss won't let you sit with us!

Trisha57 Thu 16-Apr-20 10:48:32

Hmmm.......it's either 36 or 198 hmm Is that called hedging your bets?!!

Callistemon Thu 16-Apr-20 10:54:29

I was sent to stand in the corner (again) because I'm always disruptive trisher

trisher Thu 16-Apr-20 10:56:14

Never mind Callistemon I'll hide your work so Doodle can't copy.

Callistemon Thu 16-Apr-20 10:57:29

But what if it's meant to be a subscript?

Callistemon Thu 16-Apr-20 10:58:07

The garden beckons

How many weeds can I pull out in one hour?

tiredoldwoman Thu 16-Apr-20 11:03:46

Ive just weeded mine !
If it takes an old fat woman 20 mins to collect 2 buckets of weeds , then she eats 2 digestive biscuits as a reward , how many biscuits will she eat if she goes back out for an hour ?

Chewbacca Thu 16-Apr-20 11:09:33

Easy tiredoldwoman..... The whole packet!

Did I get it right?

tiredoldwoman Thu 16-Apr-20 11:13:39

Top of the class , Chewbacca !

I've just been out to dancing (via Zoom) I hope that Doodle didn't copy anything!

trisher Thu 16-Apr-20 12:37:23

I think if there are biscuits about they should be shared.

Feelingmyage55 Thu 16-Apr-20 12:45:49

Easy--easy today. 36. I hope. If that is correct I shall have oven chips for tea. I don’t like apples but I do like pears. ?

Marydoll Thu 16-Apr-20 12:48:24

FOCUS, class! ?

Bathsheba Thu 16-Apr-20 13:05:37

Doodle oh no! I hoped it would of worn off, but if you can smell it from right over there, I'm gonna get a belt from me ma when I get home.

I know! I'll tell her we had a perfume testing at school today and it got spilt on me! Please Miss can you back me up, Miss, please? Cos I'll get a beating else.

Doodle Thu 16-Apr-20 13:14:49

Don’t worry bathseba I’ll hose you down with some water before you go home. Your mum won’t notice. As I’m not allowed on ‘top table’(didn’t want to sit there anyway ?) I’ll come and sit with you then I can fan you with my exercise book and it might make the smell disappear.

Please Miss I did my own sums today and didn’t copy from anyone. So there.

Can I smell fish and chips ??

Bathsheba Thu 16-Apr-20 13:30:53

Thanks doodle, now I'll just pray for rain so mum won't be sespish, surspish, wundering why I'm wet.

Doodle Thu 16-Apr-20 13:32:50

Freak one minute thunderstorm? ☔️??

annep1 Thu 16-Apr-20 13:51:45

I am enjoying your comments ?

Callistemon Thu 16-Apr-20 14:28:09

Dancing sounds more fun than weeding

Are they chocolate digestives?
Only choccy ones will do

aquagran Thu 16-Apr-20 14:29:39

138

Callistemon Thu 16-Apr-20 14:34:36
