SOLUTIONS to the April Fools Maths Challenges for Years 3 and 4 and Years 5 and 6
Challenge for Years 3 and 4
Don’t be a Fool!
Is the following maths statement true or false? Tip: try using the number in lots of different ways to figure out if the statements can be proven to be true!
Using eight 8s, it is possible to make 1,000?
Challenge for Years 5 and 6
Don’t be a Fool!
- Work out this riddle and prove you’re not an April Fool!
I’m thinking of a 5-digit number which has no zeros and no digit is the same.
The ten thousand digit is the cube root of the ones digit.
The tens digit is the square root of the thousands digit.
The hundreds digit is the product of the ten thousand digit and the tens digit.
The thousand digit is an odd square number.
I’ll post the answers tomorrow!

Thank you to Alex and Joseph Darling for their solutions!
Computing! Childnet Film Competition
Childnet Film Competition 2020
The Childnet Film Competition is now in its 11th year and is open to all young people based in the UK. The challenge is to create a short film or a storyboard with a script in response to this year’s theme.
The theme of this year’s Childnet film competition is:
We want an Internet where we’re free to….
Think about all the things we love to do online. Create a film or storyboard that explains why we want an internet that allows people to feel free and safe online and how we can can make this happen.
Childnet have released packs to give more information about the competition and to help you to plan and make your films at home. All details can be found at https://www.childnet.com/resources/film-competition/2020
Childnet understands that young people may not have access to specialist equipment at home but don’t let that stop you. Get creative with the technology you have, including phones and tablets, or enter the storyboard category, which doesn’t require any film making equipment.
I am sure there are some great filmmakers in our midst.
Good luck and happy filmmaking.

PE snakes and ladder fun
Good Morning,
I hope you are all well. I thought you might like to try this PE version of snakes and ladders with your family instead of (or in addition to – if you’re feeling super fit!) joining Joe Wicks this morning. There are many different challenges included. All you need is a dice, appropriate clothing, water and a safe space. Enjoy and send me some pictures of you having fun if possible.
Love Miss Pringle

Hello Y3
Dear Y3,
I hope you are all well and keeping safe. I just wanted to say hello and thank you for sending me photos of your learning – you have been very busy. It is very strange not being in class with you all but remember you can share your news or learning with me via email. The fish are well and our caterpillars are unrecognizable (see the photo below!).
Here are some of the photos I have received this week and some I took at school on Monday and Tuesday.
Have a restful weekend,
Miss Pringle
