This week, the spellings are based on phonemes we have been learning in our phonics lessons.
song
rain
tree
night
coat
tooth
The children will be tested on these words next Friday 16 October. When checking the spellings with your child, it is useful to put the word in a sentence so they understand its meaning. Look at the spelling activities guide on the website and in your child’s homework books for some ideas to practise these words. Making up silly sentences, using the words, would be a great way to practise spellings, handwriting and writing sentences!
Times tables
In spelling lessons next week, we’ll be recapping and practising the long vowel oo phoneme (sound). This sound can be written in lots of different ways. These are called graphemes. For example:
glue, too, grew, conclude
In lessons, the children will be exploring these alternate graphemes in lessons.
Here are the specific words for the children to practise at home:
| continue | rescue |
| peculiar | conclude |
| popular | amuse |
| regular | issue |
| particular | queue |
Times tables
Your child’s login details for Times Table Rock Stars is stuck into their homework books. Please login and practise regularly.
Your Times Table Rock Stars questions will be set to practise the 10s, 2s, 5s, 3s, 4s and 8 times tables (with a few exceptions for children who have already shown they have mastered these tables).

knot
knife

| This week’s spelling list is formed using words that follow the ‘drop the y for an i’ rule. Your task is to practise adding or changing the suffix of each word eg to add –ing, -ed, or –ies, wherever it’s possible. Make sure you know what all of the words mean and then choose one of the spelling strategies to practise them. | ||||

Look at the spelling activities guide (also in your child’s homework books) for some ideas to practise these words. Making up silly sentences, using the spelling words, would be a great way to practise spellings, handwriting (look out for the ascenders like in the letter h and the descenders like in the letter g) and writing sentences!
