Sumdog are running a free mathematics contest for all schools in South Lanarkshire. The contest starts on Friday, May 15 - it will be great if Room 6 can take part!

They only need to play for an hour or so during the whole week period to get a competitive score. Sumdog’s questions are based on accuracy and are tailored to each

student's level – so everyone has a fair chance of winning.

I am missing you all so much and would like to hear how you are doing. You can send me messages on email about your work or just to say hi and tell me

what you have been up to.
