Why should your story be included in the anthology?


Hill Mead Primary School's Anthology of Stories

Which stories must we include in the anthology? Why are they an important choice? What messages do they give younger children? What do they teach younger children?

Daylight robbery

A Maths teacher was an eye-witness to a robbery. Everything happened very quickly, but she was able to remember the number on the robber's T-shirt. When she got home, she wrote the number down. She also wrote down some clues about the number. She then gave the clues to her pupils to see if they could work out the number.

Can you work out the number from the clues?


  • It is an odd number
  • It has 4 digits
  • It is divisible by both 3 and 9
  • When it is divided by 21, there is no remainder
  • All the digits are different
  • The total of the first two digits is double the totals of the last two digits
  • The number is between 2999 and 5000

Heritage Collage



After interviewing Miss Diss about aspects of her heritage, Ashraf (6 red) has made a fantastic start at designing a collage using the online editing tool 'Pixlr'.  How do you think each image represents an aspect of Miss Diss' heritage?

This week in ICT we will be designing our own heritage collages using 'Pixlr.' Which aspects of your heritage will you show through images?

Don't forget that we must be careful when we use online images in our own work. Why is this? How can we ensure we use the right images?
