Term 3.1 – spelling list
HT5
Year 3,4
This half-term, our spellings are linked to the rules and strategies we’ll be learning in class:
- alternative ways to write the ‘sh’ sound (ch, ss, ti, s)
- alternative ways to write the ‘or’ sound
- adding prefixes: in, im
- adding prefixes: inter, anti, super
- spelling patterns: ture, sure
- homophones (words that sound the same but are spelled differently)
Each Friday, you’ll be tested on 8 of the words from the list below.
| position | inexperienced | supernatural | international | machine |
| caught | mention | immaterial | impossible | moisture |
| infamous | forward | possession | enclosure | mission |
| people | busy | history | pressure | chef |
| measure | therefore | picture | important | special |
| thought | improper | quarter | should | naughty |
| fracture | pressure | leisure | ordinary | superior |
| beautiful | anticlockwise | because | interrupt | feature |
