Amazing Mathletes

The children have been working hard at Mathletics as school and at home.  As a result they have met the first challenge of 30 certificates in one week.  This resulted in Miss Johnson doing cartwheels across the grass - a sight to behold!  Well done year 3.  We are determined to get to the top of the world hall of fame, so the next challenge is to get 7000 points in a week - is it possible?
