  • "Natasha, Louis, Jasper, 1 other and sir (on his 2nd attempt!) got the correct answer. Not the best starter because it wasn't that much fun. But, against the clock was a challenge for everyone."

  • "Well. Well, Well. This was a very difficult and erm, fulfilling(?) excersize. It made the kids think and er, they were quiet for a bit.
    Eventually my girl found the answer."
