The words are all homophones or near homophones again this week. A homophone is a word which sounds the same as another word but has a different meaning. They are often, but not always, spelled differently.
This week, there are only five words to learn but it’s really important to practise spelling these words in context so children are choosing the correct version.
there, their, they’re
are, our

Spelling this week is a list of words with the ‘ly’ suffix. This is a recap of something your child has learnt in Year Two.
There are some rules when adding this suffix to a word.
- The suffix ‘-ly’ starts with a consonant letter, so is added straight on to most root words.
- If the root word ends in consonant letter ‘y’, the ‘y’ is changed to ‘i’, but only if the word is more than one syllable.
- If the root words ends in ‘le’, the ‘le’ is changed to ‘ly’.
friend, kind, clumsy, exact, angry, careful, dead, part
This list will be tested on Friday 17 May 2019.
We are learning our 8 times tables.
