It has been a busy week for year 3!
We went to Redbridge Sports Centre on Thursday for our first tennis lesson, we all really enjoyed ourselves and were extremely tried afterwards. Here are some pictures ...



We also had the amazing opportunity to make our own paper! We had a special guest, who works for the borough and encourages people to ...REDUCE, REUSE & RECYCLE!!!
Here are a few pictures of us making out very own pieces of paper.

Problem Solving in Numeracy

Last Friday, we had numeracy in our normal classes and was set a challenge!!!

Our challange was...
You have 20 straws and you have to make as many squares as possible - no bending or cutting the straws!!!

We had a great time trying to solve this problem and we all agreed that the maximum amount of squares without crossing straws, was 9.
Then Mr Trutwein let us cross the straws and some of us managed to make 32 squares!

Here are some pictures of us scratching our heads and working hard to solve this problem...
