Posted on Friday 04 March 2022 by Mrs Lake

The spellings this week are all contracted words. They all have apostrophes in the same place: instead of the o in not.

  • don’t
  • can’t
  • won’t
  • didn’t
  • haven’t
  • hasn’t
  • doesn’t
  • mustn’t

The children will be tested on these words next Friday 11 March. 

Please encourage your child to try practise the words by putting their words in a sentence using our handwriting guide. Also, look at the spelling activities guide for some ideas to practise these words.

Unfortunately, we didn’t manage to test our spellings this Friday. We will test them on Monday.

The new spellings are from our common exception words list. There are words we might have learnt before but they will all be very important for our writing next week so I wanted to make sure they were secure.

Practise spelling the following words ready for a test on Friday 4th February.

uncertain, disadvantage, dispossess, unavoidable, disobey, unaware, unnatural, undecided

  • brother
  • cheese
  • noise
  • horse
  • dance
  • thought
  • through

 

The children will be tested on these words next Friday 04 February.

This week, we’d like you to practise spelling these contractions.

A contraction is two words that have been contracted into one word. A contraction is a less formal way of writing. For example, you are would become you’re.

The words for you to practise are:

shouldn’t (should not), couldn’t (could not), won’t (will not), they’ll (they will), you’ll (you will), I’d (I had), you’re (you are), they’re (they are)

These words will be tested on Friday 28th January. Good luck!
