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.

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.

STRAIGT, no STRAT, I mean straight!

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

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

Please Miss I can't find my pencil.

aquagran Tue 21-Apr-20 12:18:00

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!
