Spellings will be based on the extensive spelling list given out two weeks ago. All the words are the type of spelling which has previously appeared in the spelling SAT test. The children will be tackling their spelling SAT in early May, though we don’t know which words will be tested when it comes to the real test.
Children will be given mini spelling tests based on the words they have been given to learn, but won’t know which ones are happening on which days.
It’s important that the children learn the words and the rules associated with the spellings.
The words that the children have been given will be their spellings for the next two weeks.

This week in our spellings we are learning how to drop the ‘e’ for ‘ing’.
By adding ‘ing’ to the end of the verb, we have to drop the ‘e’ from the route word. For example, implore with an ing added becomes imploring.
| route word | ing added |
| implore | imploring |
| ignore | ignoring |
| frustrate | frustrating |
| write | writing |
| promote | promoting |
| loathe | loathing |
| aggravate | aggravating |
| discourage | discouraging |
