This week, the spelling focus is to double up for a short vowel sound. The words are all verbs and require you to double up when adding the suffixes  ed (past tense) and -ing (present tense). Check you understand the meaning of the words!

hop hopped hopping
tug tugged tugging
skip skipped skipping
grab grabbed grabbing
beg begged begging

 This spelling rule (not list) will be tested on Friday 15 March 2019.

Create ways for you to remember how to spell these words and generally practise using the strategies in the back of your homework book. Don’t forget to try adding prefixes and suffixes to the words. Spelling practice is best done little and often so make sure you come back to the spellings at least three times in the week. Date your practice and ask an adult to sign it to show that you’re practising regularly. There will be not be a test on Friday 15 March but we will find the words in a wordsearch.

Year 5 Statutory Spellings

This week, your challenge is to play Speed Write with someone at home in order to practise your spellings – just like we’ve done in class. The list is formed using words that are from the Year 5/6 statutory spellings list. All children need to know these words by the end of year six. If you don’t know what any of the words mean, find out!

The spellings this week are all contracted words. They all have the apostrophe in the same place: instead of the o in not.

When writing these contracted words, children should leave the letters either side of the apostrophe unjoined but there shouldn’t be a big space between the letters.

do not                don’t
can not              can’t
will not               won’t
did not               didn’t
have not            haven’t
has not              hasn’t
does not            doesn’t
must not           mustn’t
