| 2. | ray | rays |

| 3. | stepped |
| 4. | flipped |
| 5. | slammed |
| 6. | dripped |

27 September 2013
This week, the spellings are all words where you have to drop the y for an i when adding ly. This is one of three key spelling rules which we will be revisiting throughout the year.
In the list below, the words change from being adjectives (words which describe a noun – in this case, a person for example eg a grumpy waiter) to adverbs (words which describe a verb eg to smile sneakily, to reply angrily).
| 1. | happy | happily |
| 2. | angry | angrily |
| 3. | pretty | prettily |
| 4. | grumpy | grumpily |
| 5. | messy | messily |
| 6. | sneaky | sneakily |
| 7. | cheeky | cheekily |
| 8. | clumsy | clumsily |
| 9. | hungry | hungrily |
| 10. | lazy | lazily |

Ask your child which phonemes they have been learning this week.
The phonics groups are proving to be very successful and we are seeing lots of progress being made already.

20 September 2013
This week, we are continuing to look at what happens to words when we add ‘ing’ to them. Most of the spellings this week end in ‘le’ so you have to drop the ‘e’ when adding ‘ing’. However, some of the words just require you to add ‘ing’. Can you spot them?
| bubble | bubbling |
| ripple | rippling |
| cuddle | cuddling |
| dribble | dribbling |
| wobble | wobbling |
| giggle | giggling |
| accommodate | accommodating |
| dress | dressing |
| scoff | scoffing |
| cross | crossing |
| Can you think of more on your own?
Be ready to spell these too! |
