This week, the spellings are all verbs which end in the suffix ‘ise’.
Help your child: Can (s)he think of any other verbs which contain this suffix? Can (s)he say / write sentences using the words eg I despise the way they advertise junk food so that children recognise brands.
Children will be tested on all ten of the words on Friday 03 October.
