Spelling

07 October 2011

This week we continue to look at words we need in maths.

These words will be tested on Friday 14 October.

30 September 2011

This is the second week of investigating the effect of adding ‘ing’ to words.

This week’s spellings are all words which have a short vowel sound before the final letter (think of the difference between the ‘o’ in hop – a short ‘o’ sound) compared to ‘hope’ (a longer sound, like ‘oh’).

When there’s a short vowel sound, you need to double up the final letter when adding ‘ing’.

Your child will be tested on eight out of the ten words on Friday 07 October.

Spelling Rule:

This week’s spellings all have an ‘ing’ at the end and replace the ‘e’ in the root word.

The main focus of the learning is to ensure your child understands the rule. It is up to your child which list they decide to do. However, it is important they give themselves an appropriate challenge and don’t attempt a list which is neither too easy nor too difficult.

The spellings will be tested on Friday 7th October.

Can you come up with any more spellings that follow the rule?

This week we are looking at words we will need in our maths.

These words will be tested on Friday 07 October.

This week’s spellings have the ‘ou‘ sound. Your child will be tested on Friday 07 October 2011.

Spellings this week are the following rule: drop the ‘e’ when adding ‘ing’.

Learn all the spellings from the list and find six more that fit the rule. Learn the six you found too.

Spellings will be tested on Friday 07 October.

This week’s spellings are high frequency words. The children will be tested on Friday 30 September 2011.

23 September 2011

This week’s list is high frequency words.  They will be tested on Friday 30 September.

23 September 2011

Spelling rule:

This week’s spellings are all time connectives.

These will be used in next week’s lessons because the text type we’ll learn about is Instructions, where you often see time connectives to help you work out the sequence of what to do.

Time connectives are very often at the start of the sentence (as an ‘opener’).  Because of this, commas and capital letters have to be remembered to be awarded the mark.

Can you come up with any more time connectives?

16 September 2011

For the next couple of weeks, we’ll be investigating the effect of adding ‘ing’ to verbs (actions or ‘doing words’). This week the spellings are all words which you just have to add ‘ing’ to the root word.

The children will be tested on eight out of the ten words. They’ll be tested on Friday 23 September.
