27 March 2015
Here are this week’s spellings. There will be a spelling test on Thursday 02 April.
All of Year 1 have got the same spellings this week – I think you can tell the theme quite easily! Take care: these can be tricky…
- Monday sounds like Munday (perhaps talk about the origins of the word… Moon day)
- Tuesday is often pronounced ‘Chooseday’, so make a special effort to pronounce the ‘T’
- Wednesday has three syllables, but that middle one is often said lazily! Again, make a special effort to say ‘Wed – nes – day’
- It’s Saturday, not Saterday
- …and don’t forget to make sure your child is using capitals because they’re all proper nouns!

There will be no spelling test on Friday 27 March as the children will be doing end of term assessments.
13 March 2015
There are just three spellings this week:
| there |
| their |
| they’re |
In class, lots of children are getting these words mixed up.
There
There represents a place.
eg The boy is over there.
It also can show that something exists.
eg There are two apples.
Their
There is used to show possession.
eg Their house is close to ours.
They’re
They’re is a shortened version of ‘they are’.
eg They’re coming all the way from London.
When practising these words, you should read a sentence with either of the words in and your child should tell you which word is correct.

Here are this week’s spellings. There will be a spelling test on Friday 20 March.
A note for Green group – This week, we’ve been learning about using apostrophes for possession and not for plurals. These spellings will be given as part of a sentence and children will have to identify whether they need to use the apostrophe or whether it is plural.
For example: There are lots of dogs. It is the dog’s bone.
