Here’s the answers to last weeks (Week 9) Maths problem solving:Hannah has a square crate that can hold nine cartons of milk. Can she put six cartons into the crate so that no three of them are in a line (diagonally included)? If so, in how many ways can she do it?
Niko and Kaia buy their father a card for Fathers’ Day. The card costs $5.90. Niko puts in 40c more than Kaia. How much do they each contribute to the card?If Niko had not put in the extra 40c, they would have only paid $5.50. Divide by 2 to find Kaia's share: $5.50 ÷ 2 = $2.75Niko contributes $2.75 + $0.40 = $3.15
Toni is selling caps for the basketball club.The picture shows the number of caps that Toni sold during the first three weeks.How many hats must Toni sell in week 4 so that the average number of caps that she has sold per week is 7?The average is the number of caps sold altogether divided by the number of weeks (4). The given average is 7. The equation is ? ÷ 4 = 7
The inverse operation shows 4 x 7 = 28, so 28 caps are sold over the 4 weeks giving an average of 7 per week.
Toni sells 9 in the first week, 6 in the second and 3 in the third. This is a total of 18. She must sell 28 to keep the average of 7. So Toni must sell 10 caps in the last week.
Matiu and Ariana have agreed to work for their Mum over the school holidays.

The Sky TurtleFlightThe sky turtle is well-adapted to its environment and can breathe, and fly, at very high altitudes. Turtles use strong muscles, located in their chest, to ‘flap’ their flippers and give them the thrust to move through the air. Their lightweight shells and hollow bones make it easier for them to take flight and stay airborne, whilst their streamlined design makes them the perfect shape to move through the air with ease. Incredibly, the turtle can remain in the air for lengthy periods of time (several hours) though they tend to only do this while migrating and must ingest 3 - 4kg of insects as they fly. Without eating as they fly, the sky turtles would need to keep stopping to find food on the land.
SleepWhilst in flight, it is essential that sky turtles take it in turns to form small groups (around 3 to 4 animals) and allow the weakest in the group to take short sleep breaks on their backs. They do this to keep going over longer distances. At night, they often roost in trees and often use the abandoned nests of dragons to stay safe.
PredatorsUnfortunately, sky turtles form part of the diet of air orcas, and their shells, despite being strong, are no match for the teeth of an adult shark.
Did you know… A sky turtle can reverse inthe air by altering thedirection that their flippers flap.
True or False?

Honey, I Shrunk the Kids!
Story StarterDad’s home science experiment had gone horribly wrong!He had zapped the kids in the garden with his new ELECTROZORBTASTICLASERJETBRAIN-GUN, which was supposed to make his three children the smartest children in the entire world. Instead, the zap had backfired, making Dad even more brainy, but the children…Extremely tiny!
Standing in the middle of the garden path, they suddenly found themselves running as fast as they could away from a rolling pebble (which was actually tiny, but now seemed as big as a house).

Reaction time!
This week we are going to test our reaction time!
This means how quickly your body moves after a certain sound or feeling.
For example, your reaction time in a running race depends on how quickly you make your first step after a whistle goes, the gun or the word “GO” to start your race. The quicker you move your body to take your first step, the faster your reaction time.
Reaction time activity
You will need x3 objects that are slightly different, any of these will work well;
Eg cones- a red, green, and yellow cone
Eg- three different teddies/toys
Eg- tissue box, remote control, plastic cup
You will need one other person to play with you (either a parent or sibling) and one person calling the items out.
1. Begin jogging on the spot with the three items in front of you and your partner opposite you. When an item is called out eg “tissue box” the first person to grab this item wins a point. The faster you grab the item, the faster your reaction time.
2. You can vary your locomotion which means the way you are moving, eg, jogging on the spot to hoping, to jumping. You can also move further away from your items to make it harder. You could include more people to compete against or include more items.

This story captures the stubbornness of a very cute quokka who resists the notion of “being cute”. He rather be seen by his friends as dangerous or scary.
https://storyboxlibrary.com.au/stories/not-cute
Book Week book: Honours Not Cute by Phillip Bunting
What do you think Phillip Bunting has used to create the illustrations? The illustrator’s style is to sketch the illustrations and then create cut outs of the larger shapes. He uses a collage technique to layer all the elements. He then scans the collage and uses photoshop to enhance his illustrations. Detailed brush strokes are used to create texture. He uses neutral tones that are seen in the Australian landscape. He also has cleverly hidden objects for the reader to find: the body of the snake throughout the story and the spider pretending to be dead.
The quokka is known as the world’s happiest animal. Let’s explore this by creating a nice outfit for this cute quokka to wear! You can either Draw a Quokka using coloured pencils or markers. Or you can try making a Paper Stitch outfit, if you have a needle and some coloured thread/wool.
2. To stitch into the paper, holes will need to be created first for your needle to pass through. To do this, place your paper on top of a sheet of foam and pierce your stitching holes using a large sewing needle.
3. Thread your needle with your wool, tie a knot at the end of it and start to stitch designs and patterns onto your quokka.
1 Draw an image of a quokka onto a thick paper.
So let’s take a look, at real quokkas online for images to prepare for the drawing task.
Use whatever drawing materials you have at home. I couldn’t erase the extra pencil lines on my work because I couldn’t find my eraser. But that’s alright, I’m still happy with my work.
Remember don’t press down too hard with your pencil. Use light, smooth strokes to begin with. Press down harder with your pencil when you want to define your drawing (make it stand out).
If you like you can try to do some shading and add few short strokes for fur.
I can’t wait to see your drawings. Have fun and happy holidays!
