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

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 13:05:37

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.

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

FOCUS, class! ?

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. ?

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

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

trisher Thu 16-Apr-20 12:12:43

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

Top of the class , Chewbacca !

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

Easy tiredoldwoman..... The whole packet!

Did I get it right?

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 ?

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

The garden beckons

How many weeds can I pull out in one hour?

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

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

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 10:54:29

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

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

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

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

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

tiredoldwoman Thu 16-Apr-20 10:43:03

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

Doodle Thu 16-Apr-20 10:42:20

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 ?

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

Squiffy Thu 16-Apr-20 10:32:18

36

Morning Doodle! The dog is in Naughty School for the foreseeable future, progress is very slow . . . It's teaching the other dogs bad habits, so is in disgrace. It keeps escaping - think Steve McQueen - but hasn't quite mastered the motorbike. Yet!

trisher Thu 16-Apr-20 10:31:26

It all depends if we are doing place value or addition? (Retires into corner teachers don't like clever clogs!)

Callistemon Thu 16-Apr-20 10:24:28

I got 198

But my mind works differently to everyone else's.
I can understand how everyone else gets 36

So I will just stand in the corner for the rest of the lesson.

Bathsheba Thu 16-Apr-20 10:16:21

36 Miss! Sorry I'm a bit late Miss, but my baby brother was sick all down my gymslip so I had to go and sponge it all off cos I haven't got another one. I hope I don't smell of baby sick now. I did spray lots of mummy's perfume over it, it was called channel or something. I think I used a bit too much, so I topped it up with water so she wouldn't notice.

Chewbacca Thu 16-Apr-20 10:11:03

Bit of both Doodle you know me too well wink

Doodle Thu 16-Apr-20 10:07:53

I make it 36 too Miss.......eventually ?
