Spelling

04 May 2018

We don’t have a specific spelling list this week but instead years 5 and 6 need to learn the spelling rules for plurals.

The Rules!

04 May 2018

This week’s spelling homework is a spelling task and is due on Thursday 10 May.

Each child has a SPAG (Spelling,Punctuation and Grammar) task in their homework books practising a range of different skills from spelling high-frequency words, reading real and alien words, adding suffixes and prefixes and unscrambling misspelled words. Have a look in your child’s homework book to find the activities to complete.

Keep practising your spellings (a + double consonant) so you’re ready for your spelling test next week.
