This week’s spellings are to do with common strings of letters that sound different depending on the word.
For example: ‘ight’ sounds different in ‘night’ to how it does in ‘weight’.
Some sentences you might think about at home are:
- I had an After-Eight mint from the freight train at twilight and now I’m worried about putting on a slight bit of weight.
- My niece found a piece of shield and gave it to her friend on the pier.
