This is the second spelling week about verbs. This time, all the verbs contain a long vowel sound and end in e. This e is dropped when it’s changed to the continuous form. As before, the verbs are listed in their infinitive, present tense, past tense and continuous (this form could be either past or present tense).

• Infinitive – I like to shop.
• Present – She shops very often.
• Past – She shopped all day long.
• Continuous – She was shopping.   She is shopping.

The spellings this week are linked with our current science topic of magnets and forces. Also, in class, we’re looking closely at root words, prefixes and suffixes. Added to the end of the spelling list is an extra challenge. Using the root word ‘act’ the children need to build a word family. For example, actress, action, acting.

• repel
• attract
• magnet
• friction
• force
• iron
• copper
• pole
• materials
• gravity
• Extra challenge, use the root word ‘act’ to create a word family.

We are revisiting one of our key spelling rules this week: drop the y for an i. For each spelling, you have to drop the y and replace it with an ies in order to pluralise the word.

Year 2 will not have any spellings this week as we are doing mock SATs papers next week which will include a spelling test. To help at home you can practise spellings from previous weeks or see how your child does with common words that they haven’t necessarily had to learn.

Group 1 – This week, the spellings are all words which have a doubled consonant after a short vowel sound. These words are all taken from the National Curriculum spelling list.

Group 2 – The spellings this week also contain a double consonant after a short vowel sound. These words also have an ed ending as they are in the past tense.
