The Mad Hatters Tea Party – Who Sits Where? The Dormouse needs to sit between the Mad Hatter and the March Hare. The March Hare wants to sit to the Dormouse's right to keep him awake. The King and Queen of Hearts get very upset if they don't sit at the ends of the table. Tweedledee and Tweedledum always sit next to each other and today they are in between the Cheshire Cat and the Mock Turtle. The grinning one has to be kept in check and needs to sit next to the White Rabbit The Caterpillar sits across from the one who is always late and next to someone who sits at the end of a table. The Dormouse and one of the twins are put in the centre because they like to pull faces at each other across the table. The King's job is to serve the cake and he likes the Mock Turtle next to him to help. The White Rabbit will be whispering apologies for his lateness into the Queen's right ear. Alice has the spare seat.

Creating Caterpillars…. The Caterpillar is a curious creature. It has numbers on its head and back that seem to change as it grows. The Caterpillar’s segments each contain numbers that follow a pattern: If the number is even, then you half it to get the next number If the number is odd, you add 1 to get the next number   Example: The Caterpillar with a 23 on his head will have 8 segments Can you find a Caterpillar between 1 and 100 that has the most segments? 1 2 4 3 6 12 24 23
