Number of the Week: 2 Bringing it back with this classic. If you don't know, get 2 know! Geography/HistoryLook and compare the old map of Shakespeare’s London (from the 1500s) to the modern map below.  Got an eye for detail? Look out for Westminster Abbey, the Tower of London and the original St Paul’s Cathedral among the houses along the Thames. Regent’s Park appears as an enclosed space near Paddington – it was a private royal hunting park at the time. You can spot the old London Bridge too: covered with buildings, this was the only river crossing until 1750. You’ll also see some sort-of-familiar names – like Hakeney, Higat, Chelsey and Elinge – alongside some that haven’t changed in 400 years, such as Islington, Fulham, Acton and Paddington.  NCETM activity (Wednesday)Do the activity below based on your maths group. Yellow, Orange , Green and Red: Sam added two fractions together and got 7/8 as the answer. Write down two fractions that Sam could have added. Tom wrote down two fractions. He subtracted the smaller fraction from the larger and got 1/5 as the answer. Write down two fractions that Tom could have subtracted. Tom and Sam shared equally one third of a chocolate bar. What fraction of the chocolate bar did each child get? Blue: Roland cuts a sandwich into two pieces. First, Roland gives one piece to Ayat and the other piece to Claire. Then Claire gives Ayat half of her piece. Now Ayat has 7/8 of the original sandwich. Did Roland cut the sandwich into two equal pieces? If not, how did he cut the sandwich? Science/Art

If you google Anne Hathaway, be careful not to confuse her with the award-winning actor from the Princess Diaries, Les Miserable and many other great films. (I'll be honest, I was a little perplexed to begin with too!) NCETM activity (Tuesday) This is a regular pentagon. Two angles (108° and 36°) are shown. Which other angles can you work out? Explain your reasoning. PentecostWatch the video below or read the Pentecost story and reflect on it. Imagine you had been a member of the crowd that day and had heard the call.
The focus of Pentecost is what Jesus taught us about how to be a good friend and repenting from sin. Why not make a friendship bracelet for a friend that you miss or a paper-chain. Are there any other ways you can think of to show your friendship?
