As this is the last week of our half-term, we will be revising all the spellings we have learnt this half-term (since January). To prepare, you should look back through your homework book and practise any words you feel you need to – maybe because you feel less confident with these.
On Friday 14 February 2020, you will be tested on a range of words.

| assistant | abundant | tolerant | convenient |
| assistance | abundance | tolerance | convenience |
As a little extra challenge, can your child identify which of these words is one of our 5 British Values? Do they know the others? Are they able to define each one?

Match the prefix on the left to the correct root word on the right. One has been done for you.
| un | possible | |
| dis | convenient | |
| im | operation | |
| in | logical | |
| ir | conscious | |
| il | emerge | |
| co | graceful | |
| re | responsible |
Add the correct prefix (mis or dis) to the root word ‘information’ so that the word matches the definition. These are two of our topic words.
______information: when someone shares false information by accident.
______information: when someone deliberately shares false information to trick people.
Now, practise spelling all the words that have a prefix – evidence this revision in your homework book.
