We would like the children to begin to learn another key spelling rule: drop the e for ing. All of the words in the list are verbs. Before the suffix ing is added to the verb, the e needs to be removed.
- to have having
- to hike hiking
- to write writing
- to use using
- to make making
- to like liking
- to give giving
- to excite exciting
The children are also beginning to learn their times tables. We are starting with the 10 times table and the children will be tested on this next Friday.
It is important to note, when rehearsing tables, to vary the mathematical language used. In class, we will be familiarising the children with the words multiply, lots of, groups of and times.
