This week’s spellings all end with the suffix fully.
Last week we looked at the suffix ‘ful’. We can make these words into adverbs by adding ly. Notice how there is now a double l on the end, e.g. wonder + ful + ly = wonderfully
| LO: Adverbs that end in fully |
| wonderfully |
| hopefully |
| mercifully |
| helpfully |
| carefully |
| hurtfully |
| thankfully |
| cheerfully |

This week’s spellings are all more interesting words to use in your writing instead of said. The words also all have ‘ed’ endings because they’re in the past tense.
I’ve listed the words in order of how loud I think the words would be spoken. I think that number one is the quietest and that they get louder until number eight. Do you agree?
Can you think of any other words that would fit?
| 1. | mouthed |
| 2. | mumbled |
| 3. | muttered |
| 4. | grunted |
| 5. | called |
| 6. | exclaimed |
| 7. | cried |
| 8. | roared |
| 9. | shrieked |
| 10. | boomed |

As the statutory phonics screening check will take place next week, there is no spelling homework.
There is no date set for which children will be tested on which day; as always, avoid unnecessary absences.
Thank you.
