This week, we’d like you to turn each spelling into a doodle word. They’re great for helping you to learn not only the spelling of words but also their meanings. Take a look at the example for monarchy.

We’ve been working on plurals. Some words need just an ‘s’ but words ending in sh, s, ch, x or z need an ‘es’.

Y2:
This list focusses on two spelling rules that we’ve been working on. The first five words contain a ‘c’ making a ‘s’ sound and the last five words contain a silent ‘k’ before an ‘n’.

Y1:
think bank sunk honk wink witch fetch catch hutch stitch
These words all contain the ‘nk’ digraph that we’ve been working on in our phonics lessons. Ask your child if they can spot the pattern that the digraph typically comes at the end of words.
Y2:
who what where when why whole wild would should could
These words are from the common exception word list. Many of them begin with the ‘wh’ digraph. The first five are words that are often used as question openers. Could, would, and should all contain the ‘ould’ ending. We say ‘O U Lucky Duck’ to help us remember this pattern.
