This week’s spellings are all connectives. These are words that join two parts of a sentence together or help structure a piece of writing.
For example:
- I played football and scored twice.
- He went to the shop because he needed some more bread.
- She took the dog for a walk, although they didn’t go far.
- In addition, Moortown Primary is famous for its happy and healthy learners.
The spellings in bold are the additional words for children that normally learn 15 spellings. This week they will be learning slightly more than 15 because some of the spellings are easier than previous weeks (words like yet and moreover). The connectives have been grouped according to whether the word is used instead of and, but or because or whether it is used to to structure a report, in which case it is a time connective.
