I’ve given the children the Year 5/6 spelling list for them to choose ten words which they feel they need to practise.
We’ve discussed that spelling practice should be little and often rather than being completed all in one night. The practice the children have been doing has improved massively from the beginning of the year (and there are lots of good examples for you to take a look at on the website). However, we’re now going to work on maintaining this standard by practising little and often.
I’ve asked the children to date the practice they do and make sure that they complete a small amount at least three times during the week.
These spellings will then be tested by their partner as we’ll all be learning different words.
