We have spent a big chunk of our Maths lessons this week on short multiplication methods. It has been fantastic to see pupils getting to grips with this method and using their times tables knowledge to help them with each step. We discussed how important it is to keep practicing their time tables at home either on paper or using some of the online tools such as TT Rockstars and Hit The Button. It is really important as we approach the half way point in Y3 for pupils to carry on with this practice and ensure they are fluent with their 2s, 5s, 10s, 3s. 4s and 8s.
In English we have been working hard on our character descriptions of our own made up mythical creatures. We chose two of our favourite animals and 'merged' them together to make our own new type of creature. We have had some great imagination and rather interesting creatures appearing in our books. These include a Snorse (snake and a horse) and a Towl (tiger and an owl).
Can you guess what animals have been merged for the following creations?
A Floxalotl
Damingo
Monkrab
Relephant
Have a great weekend all!
