This week’s spellings are continuing the rule of changing the “y” to “i”. They will be tested on Friday 19 October 2012.
There seem to be a lot of spellings on this list but the children have been learning about this rule all week and are familiar with these words. Please encourage them to add any more words that they can think of. The spelling test will test them on 8 of these words and we will be verbally discussing all of them.
