Week 13: Christmas Celebrations

I hope you have all been busy learning your lines over the weekend for our final few days of rehearsals. Costumes need to be in tomorrow so that we can check that everything is ready for our run through and Dress Rehearsal on Thursday and Friday.
The choir will be singing at The Acres on Tuesday and we will be holding our annual Paper Chain Competition.

Have a go at this Nrich Christmas Maths Challenge-
Mrs Claus made four of the workshop elves new suits for Christmas.
Each suit had matching trousers, waistcoat, jacket and hat.
One suit was all red, one was all green, one was all yellow and one was all blue. The elves were delighted with their presents, but decided it would be fun to wear a different outfit every day for as many days as possible. So they agreed to swap around parts of their suits until they ran out of new combinations.
How many days did their fun last?

Can you explain why you think it might be 132 days Callum?

I think I am wrong I think its 28 because they can all wear a full different outfit so that's 4. then there is one in one colour and three in one colour and there is three for every one so 4x3=12. then you have the same calculation with two one colour and two another. if you add them up you get 28.

Nope wrong again its 52. I have forgot to add the 24 from the calculation when they are all different.

Callum, impressed with your perseverance, well done. I think I know the answer but I'm not telling.
Loved the attitude acting today, remember what Mrs. Green said about great acting today. I can't wait to see you all perform on the stage.
Wonderful Shakespearean writing today too. Pleased you're keeping on learning to the highest level right until the end of term.

Good luck for the dress rehearsal tomorrow. Remember to use your loud voices. I know you all have them. I am really sad that I can't be there with you all tomorrow but have fun and I will see you on Monday.
