Puzzle two Magic square
Magic square A magic square has the same total for the sum of digits in each row, column and diagonal. Complete the magic square using the numbers 1 to 9 so that each row, column and diagonal sums to 15. Once completed, add the number from the four corners of the magic square, then find the sum of the digits from the total OAT MathOlympics Team Challenge Puzzle

Mark my work: As the final announcement approached leo s heart thumped against his ribs, louder with each passing second. the reporters voice was teasing now, hitening the tension. Only one spot remains, "she said dramatically," and the judges have made their decision." Leo s breath hitched. His pulse raced as doubt crept in had he done enough The minutes stretched endlessly as he stared at his phone, his fingers trembling. Suddenly it vibrated in his hand, the notification lighting up the screen. time seemed to freeze as his eyes darted to the first words of the message...

Literacy Friday 14th February TBAT: convey how a character is feeling. Example: Sophie stomped into the grand living room, her arms folded tightly across her chest. Earlier that morning, she had demanded a new toy, but her parents had dared to say no. This is completely unfair! she whined, tossing her golden curls over her shoulder. In the centre of the room, an enormous pile of unopened presents sat waiting dolls, designer clothes, the latest gadgets but Sophie barely glanced at them. I asked for three things: a diamond-studded handbag, a pink electric scooter, and a real-life pony! she huffed. Despite having everything a child could dream of, she scowled at her parents, her foot tapping impatiently against the marble floor. If I don t get what I want, I ll scream, she threatened, her voice sharp and demanding.
Literacy Friday 14th February TBAT: convey how a character is feeling. Example: Liam sat on the edge of his bed, his heart pounding with excitement. Early that morning, he had double-checked everything he needed for the competition: a carefully drawn blueprint, a box of colourful LEGO bricks, and a notebook filled with ideas. With a deep breath, he clutched his design and rushed downstairs, where his mum and dad were waiting. Today s the day! he beamed, his eyes shining with determination. In the kitchen, the scent of warm toast and jam filled the air, but Liam barely noticed. I ve practised, I ve planned, and I m ready, he said, grinning. This could be my chance to prove myself. Despite his nerves, he felt a spark of hope maybe, just maybe, his dreams were about to come true.

RE: Why is it sometimes difficult to do the right thing? How do you know the difference between right and wrong? How easy or difficult is it to always do the right thing? Who or what might be a good source of wisdom and guidance? When you are tempted or when it is difficult to know what the right choice is? Discuss why some things might be seen as moral absolutes (e.g. murder), whereas others might sometimes be less clear (e.g. a parent stealing to feed a starving child). Are there some moral values or truths that always hold, no matter the situation? Why might different people sometimes have different views about right and wrong?
