About this resource

This Year 3 New Year–Themed Wordsearch is a fun and purposeful literacy activity designed to support spelling accuracy, vocabulary development and sentence writing at the start of the spring term. Pupils search for New Year–related vocabulary hidden horizontally, vertically and diagonally (forwards only), making the activity accessible and appropriate for Year 3 learners, while still offering challenge for Year 4. Once the words are located, children apply their understanding by choosing words to use in their own sentences, supporting SPaG objectives and contextual language use. This resource is ideal for: SPaG lessons Early finishers Morning work Homework Low-prep January activities The vocabulary focuses on meaningful seasonal language, including celebrate, countdown, tradition, reflection, promise and memories, helping pupils explore the concept of New Year in a literacy-rich way. An answer sheet is included to support quick marking and independent checking.Read more

What you get, one file

This pack is print and go. Our catalogue does not list an editable copy of it, so none is offered here rather than promising a file nobody has opened. Page counts are not printed either, because we do not publish them and a guessed number is worse than none.
