This half-term, our spellings are linked to the rules and strategies we’ll be learning in class:
- alternative ways for writing the long vowel ‘u’ sound
- more homophones (words that sound the same but are spelled differently)
- suffixes (for example, changing the root word ‘great’ to ‘greater’ or ‘greatest’
- plurals (more than one of a noun)
- apostrophes for contraction (eg can’t is less formal than cannot)
- apostrophes for possession (eg Brian’s bag, the school’s logo)
Each Friday, you’ll be tested on 8 of the words from the list below.
