Maths problem....can you figure it out?! (1,000 house points if you do!)

In front of a classroom there is a concrete square pad with a concrete walkway leading to it.
The total area of the pad is 151m squared
 The width of the concrete  walkway is 4meters less than the length of the concrete square pad.
The concrete walkway is 5meters longer that the length of the concrete square pad.
What is the length of the concrete square pad?

Novel time

Room one are going to start reading No Safe Harbour. Can you predict what this novel is going to be about? 

Character description - Snow White

In room one we are looking at narratives. We looked at the story of Snow White and discussed how if we changed the adjectives we could give characters new descriptions/traits. Have a read - its quite funny!
