Year 3 2024 - 2025
Mrs Dutton 3/4LD
I have been teaching at Woodlands Primary School since September 2013, and lead our Year 3/4 team. I am passionate about teaching all subjects, but I really enjoy teaching English, exploring different narratives and writing imaginatively and creatively. I lead English across our whole school, and love to plan exciting activities to promote reading at Woodlands. When children reach the top of the reading chart or strive for 5, it makes my heart sing!
When not in school, I can usually be found running around after my three children or my dog, Bertie. I love reading stories with my children or baking yummy treats in the kitchen.
My motto is 'Shoot for the moon, even if you miss you'll land among the stars!'
Mrs Barrett 3LB
Hi there, I am Mrs Barrett. This is my fifth year at Woodlands and my second in Year 3. This is my tenth year of teaching and prior to working here, I taught in Melbourne, Australia, which I loved, but there really is no place like home!
I enjoy teaching English as I am passionate about creative writing and reading and I love seeing child develop their own styles of writing.
I am the music lead for Woodlands and enjoy creating opportunities for our children to express themselves through the arts. My favourite day of the school year is our Young Voices concert, where we sing in Manchester with over 8000 other children from schools in the North West.
Outside of school, I love floristry, learning new things, fitness and have completed 3 marathons, including London. I am also very busy with my beautiful daughter and two puppies. We love nothing more than exploring the Wirral beaches together.
I am very much looking forward to another year working closely with the team at Woodlands.
Miss Sayce 3ES
Hello! My name is Miss Sayce and this is my fifth year working at Woodlands Primary School. I am very excited to be teaching Year 3 this year, and I am really looking forward to being part of the Key Stage 2 team! I enjoy teaching all subjects, but I particularly like science as there are so many exciting things to discover. I also love reading, some of my favourite books are 'Charlie and the Chocolate Factory' by Roald dahl and 'Ratburger' by David Walliams. When I am not in school, I love to bake tasty treats for my friends and family, as well as grow fruit and vegetables in my garden! I also like to watch football, especially my favourite team, Shrewsbury Town FC. I can't wait to get to know you all, I know we will have so much fun and learn a lot!
Miss Hughes 3HH
Hi everyone! I am Miss Hughes and I’m extremely excited to be returning to Woodlands Primary School as your year 3 teacher.
I am passionate about history and maths as these were my favourite subjects when I was at school. I love my job of teaching and I can’t wait to find out which subjects you enjoy and to make the learning as enjoyable as possible.
When I am not in school, I enjoy spending time with my friends, family, and my little girl Felicity. I also love to spend time going on walks and exploring the outdoors (when the weather is sunny!!).
I am very excited to be your Year 3 teacher. My wish for our classroom is to be friendly, filled with joy and have fantastic teamwork. I can’t wait to meet you all!
