Year 3 & 4 Spelling

06 November 2020

This week, we’ve been learning about the different ways to write the ‘o’ sound. Because spelling in the English can be tricky, there’s lots of ways to write the ‘o’ sound in our spelling (oe, o, ow, oa). This week, we’d like you to practise the following words to help consolidate this learning. Remember, the words may appear ‘random’, but we are being exposed to different ways of writing similar sounds.

notice                                   suppose                                though                                  although

homeless                              hero                                      goes                                     glowing

To keep it fun, practise these 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). Children should practise in preparation for a test on Thursday 12  November 2020.

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?

This week, we’ve been learning about the ‘ai’ sound. This is tricky because the ‘ai’ sound can be made in a variety of ways: ay, ai, a_e, ea, aigh, eigh, e-e, ey. This BBC Bitesize video will help if you’re unsure.

First, we’d like you to go around your house (or even your local area) and find / write down all the things you can spot that have the ai sound in: tray, clay, eight o’clock etc.
