The Rock Pool
Some octopuses, some fish and a few
mermaids were happily frolicking in a rock
pool. Altogether there were 38 arms, 24 eyes
and 8 tails all swimming in the pool.
How many mermaids were there?

Restaurant Question.


L.S and Q from Team 4 Pes on Vimeo.


The Pizza Place in my town has three
tables of the same size. The Chicken
N Chips restaurant has four of the
same sort of table.
The Chicken N Chips can just seat 24
people. How many people can The
Pizza Place seat?
Now a third of the seats at The Chicken N Chips were
empty and a half of the places at The Pizza Place were
empty. If 18 more people wanted to eat out, how many
would have to be turned away from the two restaurants?

Cross country!!


year 8 girls you're up next!” yelled Mrs Nua. Standing at the starting line, having butterflies. “ on your mark, get set,” Shouted Mr Burt, And the siren went on to tell us to go!. Jogging around the cone. Going around the field. Feeling puffed out but I was still not giving up.

I was still running but I got tired so just started to walk fast. While I was walking, I saw Rita so I just started running with her. When I was almost to the finish line, Miss Va’afusuanga was encouraging me, So I was racing to finish line. Feeling puffed out. 1st lap done.

Going around the cone again, feeling the slippery mud with my muddy feet which was very yukk “ lucky I wasn’t running with my shoes” I said to myself.
The mud was splashing all over my my legs “YUKK!!” I said I was still running but I was feeling very tired. So I just started to walk. Once I got to Mr Barks I started to jog the rest of the run. finally I got to the finish. I reckon that Cross country was actually fun.
