We considered the importance of checking carefully when we have completed questions in our arithmetic tests as some errors can be avoided or amended through checking. We discussed the six steps that we can go through to check that we are able to secure as many marks as possible and avoid those silly errors! 

Mrs Cox had completed an arithmetic paper – very badly – so we took the opportunity to be teacher and check and correct her errors! Some of us took great pleasure in setting her next steps and suggesting that she needs some extra lessons!
