The not so dreaded times tables

We have just had great news. ZooBooKoo commissioned an independent trial at a school to see just how effective our Maths Wraps are in helping children to learn their times tables. In the trial one Year 3 class used Maths Wraps and the other Year 3 class did not. Each class took the same pre- and post- times tables tests and worked through the curriculum for a four week period. The results showed that the Maths Wrap class doubled their speed of progress in learning their tables. These are amazing results - I think we deserve a glass of wine (or two) tonight to celebrate.

New extreme sport

Discovered new form of exhilarating extreme sport – fridge-boarding! Very tricky and not for the faint-hearted. We had to move the fridge freezer out of the kitchen (for the on-going project) and clever hubby fetched B’s Monsters Ink skateboard (I knew we had children for a reason!). And between us we got that fridge on that board and moved it into the next room – without emptying the fridge, without spillages and without (much) swearing!! Great lesson for the kids - so, we've got to move the fridge from A to B - how would you do it? This guy had a clever approach - and further to go!

Welcome to Blogdom

Oh gosh, I have just taken that great big step into Blogdom. My curiosity got the better of me and I thought I would give it a go. Not sure what I was or am expecting, time will tell.
