This week, we’ve been learning about homophones: words that sound the same but are spelled differently and have a different meaning. The word homophone comes from Greek. Homo means same and phone means sound – this can help us to remember what homophones are. This week, we’d like you practise spelling these words. Because they’re homophones, you’ll need to practise them in context: either verbally or written in sentences.
brake / break eight / ate son / sun great / grate weight / wait one / won
We’ll test ourselves on Friday 18 February 2022 to see how we’ve got on.
