This week, we’d like your child to practise the following spellings in preparation for a spelling test on Friday 02 October 2020.

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?
