On a dark and dusty planet a blue, tiny alien, called Zog, saw an enormous  ship come slowly past. It moved round and round it was like a Eagle about to grab it’s pray. The alien was shocked so it went red in the face.  It started to dive down and it looked like it was trying to grab the whole island.  The dark dusty planet started to glow.  The moon rose up and he could see the same claw on upper deck of the SGC 100 ship as he saw last time. 

  The sharp clawed Animalo who was driving the SGC 100 ship and was very angry because he wanted the X5 rock.  He got more angry every second.    But the alien had some special rock calledX5 rock he had mined it.  X5 rock is dangerous it could explode any second.  He threw the X5 rock but it missed it came back down and blew up some of the land.  He was very angry.  He could just see through the window, he saw a claw.  It was hard as a spear head.

The sharp clawed animal was as scary as a dragon. So the tiny blue alien went back to the dark mine to dig up more x5 rock and titanium to make a gigantic catapult and fired the x5 rock. He found the last peas of x5 rock. He could just see a bit of htytanyon. He had just enough to make a catapult. So he waited for the sharp clawed animal to come in his ship.

Zog finally saw the ship. He got his catapult ready to fire. It got closer and closer. When it was 15 meters away he fired in hopefulness… He was hoping more than anyone has hoped that it wood hit. Just before the x5 rock exploded, the sharp clawed animal fired some of their x5 rock. In three seconds the x5 rock would explode on the upper deck stateroom. It hit just in time. In another three seconds the ship was gone.

Zog was so pleased he fainted for one hour. All the other blue aliens came because they didn’t know what the noise was. They saw the Zog. They took him back. He woke up when they got back. They gave him a three cheers and they had a party.because they were happy that the sharp clawed aliens would never come back.  

You will need a pile of multilink cubes for this one.

Some Year 3s and 4s have produced some podcasted instructions to make a variety of small models. Listen to the podcasts, try to follow the instructions, then click on ‘View Solution’ for a picture of what your model should look like.

How good are their instructions? What positional language did you hear? How could they have made this easier for you to visualise what should be happening?

Years 3, 4 & 5 have been making multiples of 10 using digit counters.

Patterns needed to have at least 1 lines of symmetry.
