This half term the children in Mrs Weston’s and Mr Hylton’s literacy sets will be focusing on words with the prefixes un-, dis-, mis- and in- as well as words using ‘y’ as the ‘i’ sound (gym, myth) and ‘u’ spelt ‘ou’ (country, young).

Well done for all of your hard work with spellings so far!

Miss Owen would like to say well done to the children in set three for trying really hard with their spelling this half term. Keep up the good work.

Here is a link to the phase 2-5 tricky words which we have been looking at this half term in letters and sounds. It would be great for the children to continue to practise these.

Children in Year three have been looking at a variety of spelling rules this half-term including suffixes (-ed/-ing)

Feel free to recap these spellings with your children over the half-term break.

In other news, Mr Hylton’s Literacy Set have challenged Miss Weston’s Literacy Set to a battle on Spelling Shed ending next Thursday. If you need help logging your child onto spelling shed, feel free to come and speak with your child’s teacher.

This week the children will be given these year 2 common exception words to practise:

1. because
2. door
3. floor
4. children
5. everybody
6. hour
7. could
8. would
9. busy
10. people

All spelling books need to be in school every Friday for the test.

Thank you

Year three
