For their spelling task, the children have been asked to create a game/puzzle to challenge a friend with. Using the spellings from this year, the class can be as creative as they like. We discussed some ideas in class.
Also, as an alternative, the children could do the above with the times tables they have learnt during the year.
This needs to be returned by Thursday 11th July ready for our game playing review.

This week, spelling looks at words with the ‘u’ sound spelled with an ‘ou’. There is no list to learn. Instead, your child should find as many words that follow this rule and make a list in their homework book.
The words ‘trouble’, ‘young’ and ‘country’ are examples of this rule.
This is due in on Thursday 27 June 2019.
We are learning our 8 times table.
