Good morning all, the Bearded Dragon has decided not to cover my class today, as she has heard how tricky you all are, even for her! ?. You have had a very narrow escape!

I borrowed today's puzzle from site called Anthony's Maths Mash up.
He did have some tricky puzzles, involving jelly beans, but I was struggling to work out the answers, so I left it for another day. blush

Hint, it's not as tricky as it looks. If you are finding it hard, I will come back later with some help.

Ok, that’s enough silliness, it’s not clever and it’s not funny. Can you see anybody laughing.? No, nor can I! The day you can explain a frontal adverbial, that’s the day you can start making smart remarks! Now, knuckle down I don’t want to hear a peep out of you until lunchtime. Otherwise, you will all stay in, and it will be your time you are wasting, not mine.
No you can’t go to the toilet, you are old enough to control yourself. This is the worst supply post I’ve ever had!

trisher Tue 21-Apr-20 12:23:30

Please Miss I can't find my pencil.

Marydoll Tue 21-Apr-20 12:37:24

Thank goodness you are here, Miss Scary aquagran
(Breathes a sigh of relief).

I can now get on with other more important things, like making my Kung Po chicken dish for school dinners.

I will be back later to check up.
PS, Miss Scary Supply, there is a bottle of craft gin in the bottom drawer. No tonic I'm afraid, I usually have it staright! wink

Marydoll Tue 21-Apr-20 12:39:28

STRAIGT, no STRAT, I mean straight!

I apologise, I know how pedantic you can be. I'm afraid I've had a taster already. ??

aquagran Tue 21-Apr-20 12:51:38

Thank you Marydoll. I have my own hip flask in my supply kit, but, by the way this day is going, I will probably need your gin. Gin usually makes me cry, but this class is doing that already. The Telegraph crossword is in my raincoat pocket in the staff toilet if you would like to have a go at that- although your gin consumption might hinder you!
Trisher...don’t cross out, it makes your work look untidy. Use the class rubber on a string by Miss Marydoll’s desk.

Squiffy Tue 21-Apr-20 12:53:00

You bin on the gin already, Miss? shock

Green = 105
Pink = 25
Blue = 80
Orange = 40

trisher Tue 21-Apr-20 13:03:59

Please Miss I haven't got my crayons so I can't colour the squares in. An Miss that rubber made a hole in my paper.

Bathsheba Tue 21-Apr-20 13:18:30

<frantically scrapes chewing gum from underneath desk and wipes all the porno drawings off the blackboard>

Pantglas2 Tue 21-Apr-20 13:20:01

? ooh Deputy Dawg Miss is really scaring me with her strickedness!

Is that why they call gin Mothers Rueing? And I thought Miss was TeaTotel?

Doodle Tue 21-Apr-20 13:51:51

Where’s chewy when you need her? She promised to look after me and that supply teechr is so scary ?
bathsheba you can have my tube of smarties to make up for me etin your bikky. (also I’d rather Miss Scary found them in your draws than mine)

Miss Scary supply teacher can we try some gin stuff? It’s sposed to be good to try new fings. ?

Callistemon Tue 21-Apr-20 14:19:37

At last, the scary supply Miss is here.
As quick as a flash, she tried to get the class to order
Notwithstanding all the silliness, she shouted 'Order, Order'
As fast as they could, the class all ran away giggling.

Was that good, MissSupplyTeacher?

#teacher'spet

Bathsheba Tue 21-Apr-20 14:22:34

Wotcher mean Doodle, 'try new fings'? Don't fink I avent seen you behind the boys bike shed sharing a bottle of Gordons wiv Jimmy in year 6!

Fanks for the smarties though, I'm going to careflee drop sum on the flore when Miss Scary walks passed and hope she skidds on them and gos flying. Serve er rite.

willa45 Tue 21-Apr-20 14:41:45

Made it! What's this I hear? Whew! We did it Pantglas! We spooked the bearded "Snapdragon"! Trisher, not to worry.....You can always change the colors on the squares to match your answers.

Everyone else.....I'll leave you to it, while I put on my
Drinking Thinking cap and post my answers.

Miss, I didn't use fractions, I used percentages and came up with...

Green is 42% of 250 = 105
Pink is 10% of 250= 25
Blue is 32% of 250 = 80
Yellow is 16% of 250 = 40
250

PS. Art is a hobby of mine, so may I say also that even though the colors are different, they are all of the same value smile

trisher Tue 21-Apr-20 14:59:01

Ooh willa you can do persintages! You are clever! Can I change the colours? cos I think there should be more pink ones!

Feelingmyage55 Tue 21-Apr-20 15:35:45

Pink 25
Yellow 40
Blue 80
Green 105

Feelingmyage55 Tue 21-Apr-20 15:39:25

Doodle Tue 21-Apr-20 16:12:46

Bathsheba Tue 21-Apr-20 17:09:45

Marydoll Tue 21-Apr-20 17:10:24

Well class I'm back and I'm not happy.

I heard that Miss Supply Teacher has left the building, she finished the contents of her hip flask, couldn't cope with all the shenanigans. ?

Here are the pupils who got it correct:
Saxifrage, (our new pupil ?)
Bathsheba ?
Doodle ?
Trisher ?
Wila. ? (Thank you for your explanation.)

Callistemon, how many times have I asked you to check, check and double check.

You were nearly there, but your answers added up to 260.
I'm going to give you a consolation prize of an apple, but someone took a bite out of it. It's a bit brown around the edges. sad

Pantglas2 Tue 21-Apr-20 17:42:30

Oh Miss ....you’re the bestest (now that Dragonwitch as gone and yes she woz gluggin away all afternoon stead of siwpervysin sports lesson ?‍♂️)

So I stepped up Miss, so I did, an used nother nitiative and sed we would all ave ice creams when you sore how gwd we were.....?so if you’d like to put that gin down, I can hear the jingle of the van.....?

Squiffy Tue 21-Apr-20 17:48:46

trisher Tue 21-Apr-20 18:10:29

Squiffy I think Miss might have given me your apple by mistake (I blame the gin). But it's too late now I've eaten it!

Marydoll Tue 21-Apr-20 18:13:15

Oh Sqiffy, so sorry, you were on my list, but I spilled my gin water, as I was typing your name. ?

Doodle Tue 21-Apr-20 19:26:29

Glad that dragon laden has gon.

Doodle Tue 21-Apr-20 19:46:43
