Here are your new 40 words for this half-term. Let’s get learning them! How you decide to do this is up to you. You might decide to focus on the trickiest words first. Or, you might decide to learn 8 words a week and really focus on these whilst still practising the others, too. For some of you, you might already feel confident with some of the words so might choose to not practise these at all. If you need some ideas for practical things to do, check out the Super Spelling Strategies Guide on the school website.
This half-term, our spellings are linked to the rules and strategies we’ll be learning in class:
- plurals (more than one noun)
- ough words
- suffixes (for example, changing the root word ‘’success to ‘successful’ or ‘successfully’
- ible and able words
- apostrophes for possession (eg Brian’s bag, the school’s logo)
- more homophones (words that sound the same but are spelled differently
- adding the prefixes ‘co’ and ‘re’ using a hyphen
Each Friday, you’ll be tested on 8 of the words from the list below.
