This week, we’ve been learning how the ‘ai’ sound can be spelled in lots of different ways. For example, in the word day, the letters ‘ay’ make the ‘ai’ sound but in the word wait it’s the letters ‘ai’.

To help consolidate this learning, we’d like you to practise spelling these words at home.

eight        famous         favourite         straight        strange        weight        great      everyday

We’ll test ourselves on Friday 17 September to see how we’ve got on.

For some tips and tricks on how best to practise your spellings at home, visit the Y3,4 spelling page on our website and click here.

This week, we’ll continue to recap some common homophones. Homophone are words that sound the same but are spelt differently and have different meanings.

of                     off                                its                                 it’s

great                 grate                             break                            brake

To keep it fun, practise these spellings in different ways, check out the ‘super spelling strategies’ on this week’s spelling post (go to the Scholes website, learn more, spelling, Year 3 & 4). Children should practise in preparation for a test on Friday 23 July 2021.

Fancy a challenge? Use these words in sentences. Or, create silly sentences using as many of them as you can – can you use them all?
