It’s Christmas…
…so teachers are not giving new lists of spellings to learn this week.
If your child didn’t do so well in the Spellathon, please make sure (s)he keeps learning the spellings that you teacher has set this term.
The Department for Education has set out a list of 100 words which children in Y3,4 should know, and a further 100 words for children in Y5,6. If you’d like to give your child a head-start, you might like to support your child in learning some of these. The lists can be found on page 54 and page 61 of this document.
(This list is new for 2014; teachers have begun to include the words in their spelling lists.)
