We are so impressed with your resilience this week, especially with your Maths. You all seem very secure with the fact that area involves multiplication. We are sure you thought of lots of people that you love in RE and we wonder how many of you were surprised by the effects of smoking on the body. What about the mysterious woman? We are looking forward to reading about your thoughts on her.
Keep uploading your work on Tapestry. We love to see it.

Philosophical Question to finish the day!
Yesterday's Q: If you were designing a raincoat, what 3 elements would it need?
Miss Martin: Number 1: Definitely needs to be waterproof and be able to dry quickly too (frustrating when coats take forever to dry!). Number 2: Plenty of pockets to keep bits and pieces in (I always end up finding unused dog poo bags in my coat pockets... swear they multiply). Lastly, number 3: A hood, as I don't want to be looking like a drowned rat!
Miss Chapman: Firstly the coat would need to have an adaptor which could change the colour of the jacket according to the outfit I was wearing at the time. Secondly a pop up umbrella as I always forget mine. Lastly a built in hood hair dryer to avoid the frizz!!!
Mrs. Hudson: For me a raincoat needs a hood, so that my beautiful lockdown haircut doesn't get spoilt! It certainly needs pockets for tissues, my gloves and other useful things I carry around. Most importantly it needs to be waterproof. There is nothing worse than being cold and soggy!
Today's Question: Would you rather be a Polar Bear or an alligator? Why?
Spend some time during dinner or at some point in the evening, discussing this with the other people at home! We're sure there will be some interesting responses :-)
