Hi Everyone,

It has been a long while since I have written in this diary. I am glad everyone can now view what is in this blog.

Today has been really exciting. I have been so proud of all the maths work you have done, and your multiplication skills have impressed me. Especially when we worked out that 64 x 23 is the same as saying: (64 x 3 ) + (64 X 20). Does anyone know the answer to this problem?

During the weekend I am looking forward to using the new juicer that I received in the mail yesterday, playing with my cats and visiting my friends. What will you be doing this weekend?
