Half Term - Logic Homework

Date: 8th Nov 2019 @ 9:58am

Well done to everyone who had a go at our half term logic challenge! It is such a key skill to develop our creative critical thinking.

There were some brilliant, and really well thought out answers related to the picture clues!

The official answers were as follows.. although some of the children's alternative answers were just as good!

1. There are four tourists. Four spoons on the picnic blanket and four names on the duty list.

2. They arrived a few days ago. A spider web has appeared between their tent and a tree in that time.

3. They got there by boat. Hint: note the oars by the tree.

4. No, a village is not far. There’s a chicken wandering around.

5. The wind is blowing from the south. A flag that shows the wind direction is on top of the tent. Branches are normally bigger on the southern side of trees if you’re in the Northern Hemisphere.

6. It’s morning. Take the answer from question five to figure out east and west then work out the time based on the shadows.

7. Alex is catching butterflies. His net is behind the tent.

8. Colin was on duty yesterday. Colin is rummaging through his backpack, marked with a “C.”; Alex is catching butterflies; James is taking photos as his tripod can be seen sticking out of his bag. This leaves Peter on duty today. According to the list, that means Colin was on duty yesterday.

9. Today is August 8. According to the list, Peter is on duty, and there is a watermelon — which ripen in August — on the ground.
