Show CommentsHello the ten frames the bottom one has 6 aliens the middle one has 4 aliens if you moved them togerher it would make 10 6 + 4 = 10 so only one frame would be empty. Good maths thinking Frankie. From Mrs Imeson
I went sledging down a big hill with mummy nanny and my brother Ethan. It was great fun.
Frankie thinks the pictures are 2 different wood logs painted black. Thank you for your super guess Frankie. I thought it was a carpet and I was really surprised it was a feather. Were you surprised? Mrs Imeson
I built a snowman and went out on our sledge that is very old because it used to belong to my Mummy!
