Sounds and Syllables

It is important that your child spends time learning the words given in this section of their homework as these words form part of the Statutory Spelling list for Year 3 and 4 and may well feature in future formal assessments.

They are also really useful words to know how to spell when writing. 

Each week we are going to give you a five words from the Year 3/4 Statutory Spelling list, this is a list of spellings that you need to be able to spell accurately by the time you leave Year 4.

We need you to use your Sounds and Syllables techniques to Say the Word, Snip into syllables, Say the sounds and draw the sound lines and then check your spellings. As this will help you learn them. 

Each week some spellings from the previous week will appear to ensure that you keep practising them, we have not made a mistake we are asking you to over learn words that you have already seen before. 

We have included a Technique bookmark to remind you what to do and also a separate answer sheet for parents so that they can support you.  

Please spend between 5 and 10 minutes every day having a go at this. 

This week in Year 3 we have been learning about all things money. We have been converting pounds and pence as well as adding and subtracting amounts of money. Answer the calculations attached. You can print off the sheet but you don't have to, you might want to draw out the coins or use real money to support you.
