Friday 05 March 2021

This week’s spellings are based on words with two syllables (like a ‘beat’ in a spoken word).  By dividing words into syllables, this can help the children to try and write each syllable at a time. They should also be able to use their phonics knowledge to help to spell these words. The words are taken from the book Zog, by Julia Donaldson, which we will be reading in class next week.

zigzag

learning

hardest

dragon

golden

capture

The children will be tested on these words next Friday 12 March. When checking the spellings with your child, it is useful to put the word in a sentence so they understand its meaning. Look at the spelling activities guide on the website and in your child’s homework books for some ideas to practise these words. Making up silly sentences, using the words, would be a great way to practise spellings, handwriting and writing sentences!
