Everyone welcome! # Year 3- Maths-Understanding Money: Pounds and Pence ![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/images/news/activitymore-C275D9FF-2801-426C-84FE-F1CEA9639755.png) 21 May 2025 This week in maths, the children have been consolidating their understanding of notes and coins. They’ve focused on converting single amounts of pence into pounds and pence, becoming more confident in recognising that 100p = £1. They’ve practised counting in groups of 100 and used their knowledge of place value and number bonds to 100 to help with conversions. Physical and pictorial representations of money have supported their learning and helped them make these conversions more effectively. ![](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/images/news/activitymore-C275D9FF-2801-426C-84FE-F1CEA9639755.png) [Year 3](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/year-3) [Maths](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/maths) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/IMG_8245.jpeg)](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2025-05-20-bwd-schools-bee-stinger-netball-champions) Previous ### [BwD Schools Bee Stinger Netball Champions ](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2025-05-20-bwd-schools-bee-stinger-netball-champions) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/activitymore-44B9431E-A278-40FB-B077-EFE42664AB95.png)](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2025-05-22-year-3-understanding-the-risks-staying-safe-online) Next ### [Year 3- Understanding the Risks: Staying Safe Online](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2025-05-22-year-3-understanding-the-risks-staying-safe-online) ### Personal Development - [News](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news) - [Events](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/events) - [Photo Gallery](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/photo-gallery-category/our-gallery) - [Calendar](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/calendar) - [School Council](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/academy-life/school-council) - [Attendance](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/academy-life/attendance) - [Fundraising](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/academy-life/fundraising) - [Extra Curricular Clubs](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/academy-life/clubs) - [Little Leaders](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/academy-life/little-leaders) - [Visits and Visitors](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/visits-and-visitors) - [British Values](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/british-values) - [Protected Characteristics](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/protected-characteristics) ##### Location Knowlesly Road Darwen Lancashire BB3 2JA ##### Contact Us 01254 702996 ##### Stay Connected - [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/stbarnabasce/) - [X](https://twitter.com/stbarnabasce) © Copyright 2021–2026 St Barnabas Primary School, A Church of England Academy School & Trust Websites by [ ![Schudio logo](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/img/logo/light.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/)
