In our upcoming spelling lessons, we’ll be practising adding ‘cian, sion, ssion and tion’ to words. Have a practise at home to help you with your learning. The words you’ll be tested on are:
attention, fraction, mission, direction, confusion, politician, optician, percussion
Can you spot or think of a rule which helps you remember each ending? We’ll be exploring this in class.
Good luck!
