This half-term, our spellings are linked to the rules and strategies we’ll be learning in class:
- plurals (more than one noun)
- ough words
- suffixes (for example, changing the root word ‘’success to ‘successful’ or ‘successfully’
- ible and able words
- apostrophes for possession (eg Brian’s bag, the school’s logo)
- more homophones (words that sound the same but are spelled differently
- adding the prefixes ‘co’ and ‘re’ using a hyphen
Every Friday, we’ll spend time practising or testing (informally) or discussing all things
spelling so be ready (one of our 8 Rs for learning) to join in!
If you need some ideas for practical things to do, check out the Super Spelling Strategies
Guide on the school website.
