Woodheys Primary School

 Welcome to Year 3

We would like to tell you all about Year 3 and the exciting things we do. This year we will be using Parenthub to update you and keep everyone informed of the exciting things Year 3 have been doing. Parenthub will be launched after half term so for the time being we will be using twitter and the monthly newsletter to share our learning.

Meet the Year 3 Team

Coming November 2019! 

At Woodheys we want to share as much as possible with parents and with this new app we hope to keep you up to date with your child’ learning.

• Turn on notifications and you can see what is happening in the classroom as it is happening!

   

• If you have more than one child - no problem!! You can subscribe to as may Woodheys channels as you want.

   

• You will receive regular posts each week on some of the exciting events and learning that take place at Woodheys. This will replace the year group pages on the website.

You will receive more information on how to subscribe to the app and the Woodheys channel at your child’s parents evening in November.

The great news is - it is all free !

AUTUMN TERM

Spellings

We put great emphasis on learning rules of spelling and using the correct vocabulary to discuss them so we encourage children to discuss this with families when learning their spellings.

KEY VOCAB: phonemes (sounds) graphemes (the letters that make sounds), consonants, vowels, root words, prefixes, suffixes, short vowel sounds ('e' in get), long vowel sounds ('i' in find or 'ai' in rain).

You can find copies of the children's spellings below.

Week 1 13.9.19 - Vowel suffix ‘ed’

Week 2 20.9.19 - Vowel suffix ‘ing’

Week 3 

For those of you that find grammar as exciting as teachers then The school run is a brilliant website with definitions and examples of some of those more tricky elements of grammar.  In addition, here is a cheat sheet full of grammar terms that may help as well.
