Week 13- 29.06.2020

Hi Everyone,

Hope you are all doing well, working hard and keeping safe. I have created a times tables folder on the main year 3 page and will be adding a range of different website links, videos and activity sheets for times tables practice for those of you who want something different to Times Table Rockstars. I have added some activity sheets to start with and will keep adding more over the week.

Take care everyone.
