Year 3: Some tricky Maths

In Power Maths today we had to be Reggie the resilient tortoise and overcome a tricky lesson. We have been focussing on multiplying a 2 digit number by a 1 digit number. Below is an example of the 'think together' in our lesson and shows how we had been working it out. 

The children worked well together to work through the steps of the lesson. Tomorrow we will practice this some more. 

Swimming was fantastic this afternoon. Although I don't get to see all the children swimming (I am in the small pool), I did have a quick look over. The 1610 instructors do keep me up to date with everything that is going on. It's good to see the children's confidence growing in the water and hearing that talk so positively about swimming on the walk up and back. 

Just a quick reminder about Maths dress up day on Friday and that you should have received an email about parents evenings next week. These are on Tuesday and Thursday evening vie the school cloud.
