| happy happiness |
| sad sadness |
| kind kindness |
| quiet quietness |
| dark darkness |
| ill illness |
| shy shyness |
| sick sickness |

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.
