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
