Spelling

Holidays approaching…

…so there are no spelling lists, tables or other homework this week.

Enjoy reading, writing (and possibly making?) Christmas cards, reflecting on this term’s topics and other activities.

This week’s spellings are adding ‘ing’. The words in the left column end in a consonant. As they have a short vowel sound before them we need to double up the consonants before we add the ‘ing’. These will be tested on Friday 10 December.

Spellings this week are all superlatives. They all have an est ending (and some also have the rule of changing the ‘y’ to an ‘i , like angry becoming angriest). Choose four spellings from the list and find four of your own that follow the same rule.

angriest

brainiest

cheekiest

narrowest

happiest

healthiest

hungriest

juiciest

Apples have some high-frequency words to remember. They will be tested on Friday 03 December.

26 November 2010

This is our final week of spelling words with prefixes. The spellings this week all have prefixes which change the meaning of the word to convey the opposite (synonyms). For example, tidy and untidy.

You will only be tested on the word with the prefix (words in bold). Nouns and verbs practise 1-10. Adjectives and adverbs practise 1-15.

1.  well      unwell

2. tidy    untidy

3. usual     unusual

4. certain     uncertain

5. friendly      unfriendly

6. selfish     unselfish

7. agree      disagree

8. comfort     discomfort

9. appear     disappear

10. obey     disobey

11. pleasant     unpleasant

12. approve     disapprove

13. trust      distrust

14. necessary     unnecessary

15. appealing      unappealing

Good luck!
