Thursday 18 November 2010

This week’s spellings have the suffix ‘ness‘, which helps to change adjectives (describing words) like tidy into nouns (things) like tidiness.  Can you change the words into adverbs (which often end in ‘…ly’) to describe how you might do something?

They also have the rule of ‘drop the y for an i‘. These spellings will be tested on Friday 26 November.

tidy

tidiness

silly

silliness

lovely

loveliness

happy

happiness

nasty

nastiness

cheery

cheeriness

guilty

guiltiness

healthy

healthiness

Can you think of any of your own?
