This week, we’ve been learning about the ‘ai’ sound. This is tricky because the ‘ai’ sound can be made in a variety of ways: ay, ai, a_e, ea, aigh, eigh, e-e, ey. This BBC Bitesize video will help if you’re unsure.
First, we’d like you to go around your house (or even your local area) and find / write down all the things you can spot that have the ai sound in: tray, clay, eight o’clock etc.
Then, we’d like your child to practise the following spellings in preparation for a spelling test on Friday 09 October 2020.
| eight | eighth | favourite | straight |
| strange | weight | famous | everyday |
For some ideas on how to practise spellings in different ways, check out the ‘super spelling strategies’ on this week’s spelling post (go to the Scholes website, learn more, spelling, Year 3 & 4).
Fancy a challenge? Use these words in sentences. Or, create silly sentences using as many of them as you can – can you use them all?
