Amy went into her local stationery shop. Her mum had given her £2.50 to spend.
Amy liked the look of some luminous pens, which cost 15p each, and some fancy pencils, which cost 10p each.
She bought four times as many pens as pencils and was given 40p change.
How many of each did she buy?

Forgiveness
Read through the following scenarios:
1. Noah is playing with a ball in the playground when an older pupil takes it away from him.
2. Someone laughed at Toby because he didn’t get anything right in the spelling test.
3. Somebody hit Jessica in the playground and called her a mean name.
4. No one will play with Oliver at playtime, even though he asked to join in the games.
5. Emily spent a long time drawing a lovely picture but someone scribbled all over it.
6. Amelia is upset because her friends aren’t talking to her and she doesn’t know why.
7. Brian accidentally knocked over Christina whilst playing tag on the yard.
Now rank these in order (with 1 being the easiest to forgive and 7 being the most difficult to forgive).
Explain why you have ordered these in the way you have (i.e. why do you think that some wrongs are easier to forgive than others?)
