apostrophes

This week’s spelling list is formed using words from the Year 5/6 Statutory Spelling list. Children need to know all of these words by the end of year six. Your task, this week, is to write a story that contains all of these words but you need to add an apostrophe for either possession or contraction – for example: “The school’s play was amazing.” Or “School’s out for Christmas, soon!”

This week’s spelling focuses on adding suffixes to words ending in y. The words we are focusing on are on the right and the suffixes we are adding are on the right. Usually, when we add a suffix to a word ending in y, we drop the y for an i. There are some exceptions to this. Chn need to practise these spellings in their books, using the effective strategies that are in the back of their homework books. There will be a test on Friday 13 December as we will have no test in the final week of term.

This week’s spelling list is formed using words that have the suffix -able or
-ible. When practising these spellings, write a story that contains them all. The best stories will get five golden tickets. If you don’t know what any of the words mean, find out. As always, if you need any help, please come and see me before the deadline!
