The elephant on the blog

Chulak charges money for people to write slogans on the White Elephant. Every letter of the alphabet, costs a different amount. The amount goes up 3 Rupees with every letter. For example: A = 1 Rupee, B = 4 Rupees, C= 7 Rupees, D = 10 Rupees, E = 13 Rupees, F = 16 Rupees and so on. 

The following four slogans were written on the side of the elephant:

Chang loves Lotus Blossom

Eat at the Golden Lantern 

Bangkok Wanderers for the Cup

Star of India Tandoori House 

Which is the most expensive slogan? 

Which slogan does Chulak make the least amount of money? 

Explain how you worked out your answer. 

Your challenge is to come up with your own slogan that costs under 1,000 Rupees. 

Then make up your own rule.

Eager for another era

What would it be like to live in another period of time?

Rainforests

Next term we will be reading a book by Helen Cowcher about animals in a rainforest. 

We will also be studying the animals that live there and their habitats in our topic and science lessons. 

Tell me everything you already know about rainforests. Try to group your ideas into categories such as: climate. geography, plants, animals, insects and so on.

Then post a few questions that you would like answered about rainforests.

You in university?

What do you know about university?

What questions do you have about university?

Elephant graffiti

This term we have started reading The Firemaker's Daughter by Philip Pullman.

What do you think of the story so far?

In the first chapter Chulak, the personal servant to the White Elephant, explains that it is dead lucky to write your name on a white elephant. 

If you had a chance to write something on a lucky white elephant what would you write and why?
