Recently, we have been working on improving our mental maths skills. We have been doing the ‘daily 10’ before the start of each maths lesson to keep our basic maths skills sharp and work on our speed. We really enjoy challenging ourselves and trying to improve on our previous scores. We have learnt different strategies and noticed that sometimes there is more than one way to calculate an answer. Listening to the different strategies that our peers use, help us choose the best method for us.

This week we made recyclable wrapping paper for the Christmas fayre. We were shocked to find out that the UK alone send 4 billion kilograms of wrapping paper to landfill every year. We worked hard to make neat designs on brown paper which can be reused and recycled. We hope you can help us make a difference by buying our products at the fayre on Saturday.
