Tithe Barn School

On Friday Year 3 took part in a Homophone treasure hunt and soon realised there are lots and lots of Homophones. Below is a link to a game that will help you learn all the different Homophones as well as help you to remember the different spellings and meanings. This will really help you with this weeks homework!

These photos show how the children have been finding out about Antarctica by using the small world toys in the classroom!

The children have been using the computers to find out about Antarctica. Here is some of the information they have found out and printed for their Continent books!

Okay Year 3, you asked for some games to help you practice your times tables, so here you go!
Remember our class focus is the 8x table but your mental maths card should show which other times tables you need to practice.

Good Luck and Have Fun!

Year 3 have been learning about Co-ordinates in maths. On Friday the children had to get into small groups and then make a treasure map with co-ordinates. Once the treasure map was completed the children then created their own questions for other children to answer. For example;
What is in co-ordinate E3? Where would you find the pirate hat?
Here are some pictures of the children working;

If you would like to practice using co-ordinates then here are some interactive games you could try.
