This week’s spellings are all verbs in the past tense that end in ‘ed’. I’ve noticed that we are making some common mistakes when spelling these words. For example, ‘askt’ instead of ‘asked’. Another common mistake is missing out the e before the d. For example, talkd instead of talked.
| 1. | talked |
| 2. | looked |
| 3. | called |
| 4. | wanted |
| 5. | cooked |
| 6. | asked |
| 7. | walked |
| 8. | peeped |
| 9. | abandoned |
| 10. | whispered |
Children will be tested on eight out of the ten spellings on Friday 20 January.
