Today our postcard goes to Darwin for perseverance. Darwin has grappled with column addition and never gave up until he cracked it! Your additions were beautifully presented too! Next stop column subtraction!

Over the last week, we have been exploring lots of different sketching techniques. Children have been experimenting with different types of pencil and creating different tones, textures, shade and light. Today we have begun to utilise these skills and techniques to create portraits. I can’t wait to see the finished art work!

Today 3LS have been introduced to a new method of addition, column addition. For many children, this was the first time they had met this method and they have amazed me.
Children have used manipulatives and grappled with this new strategy. Their presentation in their books has been beautiful too.
I wonder who can demonstrate this new addition method at home. Maybe you could use big, medium and small Lego bricks, different pasta shapes or different sized pebbles or beads to represent your hundreds, tens and ones. Remember always work from right to left.

This week is anti-bullying week so we have had a big focus on being kind. Everyone has worked extra hard to think about how they treat eachother and I have to say I’ve been impressed. Today Ara and Jasmine have really stood out. They have been coaching their friends and sharing positive critiques.
Well done!

All of our children have been working so hard this week and making me proud. Tommy has really stood out for his perseverance and for challenging himself in maths. It’s been great to see him becoming so positive and confident. Keep it up Tommy!
