Arrays for multiplication

In Maths this term, we have been looking at ways to multiply and divide. We have used the array method and this week some of the children have become teachers for the day and created their own lesson to show how to multiply and divide with the arrays. Here is one lesson by Benji and Sulayman showing how to multiply. Stay tuned as more lessons to come soon....

Christmas is all about giving...

Over the past few weeks, Year 3 have been learning about the Tuleeni Orphanage in a place called Moshi, Tanzania. With the support of many helpful adults, the children have been making friendship bracelets and Christmas cards which have now been sent to Africa in time for Christmas day.






























The children have been so incredibly keen to help in whichever way possible that they came up with the idea to run a charity stall at the recent Christmas Féte. Groups of children volunteered to run the stall in shifts, selling a range of books, toys, clothes and all sorts... making a grand total sale of £114! A donation which I'm sure the orphanage will be delighted to receive.
