A question of balance
Prepare yourself for some Algebra.
Before we shift to symbols to make both sides balance, consider drawing and modelling of the objects in the picture to solve the question.

Order forms will be coming home soon so you can order as many cupcakes as you like for a good cause.
Paige Woolley is collecting sporting equipment in good condition to be sent to a remote Island in New Caledonia where their current sporting equipment consists of one soccer ball.
The money raised from the sale of cupcakes will go into the shipping costs of this sporting equipment.
Cupcakes will be by pre-order only and cost $2 each. Please look out for the order forms in your child’s bag and it is not too late to donate any unwanted sporting equipment you have laying around your homes.
Thank you,

'The Camino Voyage' (a True Irish Tale)
Saturday 23 November
The multi award winning documentary is a must see for anyone who believes they have Irish blood, dreamt about an adventure, travelled to France/Spain & fantasised walking the Camino Trail or just wants to be entertained.
Synopsis: 5 Irishmen build a basic traditional Irish rowing boat (Curragh), then row this tiny vessel 2500kms from Ireland to Northern Spain.
That’s the equivalent of rowing from Hobart to New Zealand.
What makes this film so special?
1: Music……. SENSATIONAL. If you love traditional Celtic music, then this film is for you.
2: Bravery……..Glen Hansard, who, without any boating experience, boldly steps in as a sub when one of the crew must stay behind in Ireland.
3: Beauty…………..Breathtaking photography as the Curragh is rowed around the French and Spanish coast.
4: Inspiring……..“People might say we’re out of our minds… you need some of that because if you’re sensible all the time – sure you’d do nothing.” Quote by rower Danny.
5: Danger: Dodging cross-channel ferries and monster container ships.
6: Drama…… Then there is a tragic final twist to the tale.
7: Community Fund Raiser: event run by the Palais Management Committee; door takings donated to local groups - Wooden Boat Centre, Living Boat Trust, Huon Rowing Club and Franklin History Group.
The Camino Voyage has it all - adventure, danger, courage, endurance, friendship, philosophy and humour – plus calloused hands and sore buttocks.
