This week’s spellings are all about shortened forms of words. They are known as contractions. The table shows the full version and the shortened form; the children are only expected to learn the shortened form. The apostrophe replaces the letters that have been missed out.
They will be tested on Friday 05 October 2012.

This week our spellings are a review of the three previous lists. These rules are:
- drop the e for ing
- drop the y for an i
- double up for short vowel sounds
Not all words from the three previous lists will be tested. They will only be tested on eight of the previous words. There will also be a couple of bonus words which have not previously been seen but which follow one of the three rules.
