Slater and Spider

Slaters are a main feature of the Room N this year.  But few people know about the Slater Spider.  Room N is making their own slater spider and its prey (slater).   Since all the members of Room N like mess, slime, slop and all the other good fun stuff, we are using paper mâché to make the giant spider.

We have a wire base to start with and have added the first layer.  We enjoyed the sloppy slime so much it has taken a week to dry.

Next is the second layer of paper and tidying up all the hairy edges.

Room N's Nasty Pirates

100

Room N's Mercury maths group worked hard today putting cards in order to 100.  They had to think about the numbers on the card along with the numbers before and after.  It took a while but they got there.  They have found out that the set is missing the number 22.  They are going to have to look for it in another pack.
