This week, it’s a Spell-athon!
We’ve all been given 40 words to learn and the child who gets the most right on Friday 05 December will be be presented with a certificate in assembly! Ties will be decided by a spell-off and the child who scores the highest proportion correctly overall in the whole school will win a prize and be crowned Spell-athon Champion!
Don’t forget this is a sponsored event: the more words spelled correctly, the more money your child will earn for Cancer Research UK.

The spellings for the next few weeks all contain different suffixes. This week, the suffix is …able. The children will be tested on the words in the second column.
Group 1
| root word | able word | |
| 1. | prefer | preferable |
| 2. | believe | believable |
| 3. | consider | considerable |
| 4. | notice | noticeable |
| 5. | respect | respectable |
| 6. | knowledge | knowledgeable |
| 7. | achieve | achievable |
| 8. | remove | removable |
Watch out because most of the root words which end in e will require you to drop the e before adding the able. Unfortunately, this rule doesn’t apply all of the time! Spot the words in your list where you do need to drop the e and the ones where you don’t.
Group 2
| root word | able word | |
| 1. | accept | acceptable |
| 2. | comfort | comfortable |
| 3. | prevent | preventable |
| 4. | enjoy | enjoyable |
| 5. | fashion | fashionable |
| 6. | enjoy | enjoyable |
| 7. | adjust | adjustable |
| 8. | consider | considerable |
