Half-term 3

Posted on Thursday 11 January 2024 by Miss Goswami

Here are your new 32 words for this half-term. Let’s get learning them! How you decide to do this is up to you. You might decide to focus on the trickiest words first. Or, you might decide to learn 8 words a week and really focus on these whilst still practising the others, too. For some of you, you might already feel confident with some of the words so might choose to not practise these at all. If you need some ideas for practical things to do, check out the Super Spelling Strategies Guide on the school website.

This half-term, our spellings are linked to the rules and strategies we’ll be learning in class:

  • homophones (words that sound the same but are spelled differently)
  • spelling patterns: ant/ance, ent/ence
  • adding prefixes: co and re
  • adding prefixes: un, dis, im, in, ir, il
  • apostrophes for contraction and possession

Each Friday, you’ll be tested on 8 of the words from the list below.

desert silence apparent unnecessary frequent
dessert sufficient attendance compliment principle
unavailable scissors cooperate complement principal
convenience stationary re-enter reinvent inconvenient
illegal stationery prophet nuisance
innocence impossible profit existence
excellence unconscious coordinate hindrance
