Year 3 Special Interest Groups started today!

Today we learnt the importance of having a growth mindset.  We were given a challenging problem to work out. This got  our brain synapses firing. 

Ask these students what the screwed up paper represents. 

Working in teams we are arranging all the 9 digits so that the sum of all rows, columns and diagonals have the same answer.
