This week’s spellings all have the ‘super’ or ‘auto’ prefixes.
Practise by using one of the spelling strategies stuck into the back of your homework book. Check you understand their meaning by asking a friend, an adult or looking it up in a dictionary or (with an adult’s permission) online.
Children should practise spelling these words in preparation for a test on Friday 29 March 2019.

The Spelling homework this week is to begin to practise the Year 3 common exception word list.
Get your child to look at the list and pick out some of the words they struggle to spell and practise these. If your child isn’t sure where to start, the common exception words have been grouped and it would be best to pick one group to look at per fortnight. Learning how to spell the words listed will build your child’s confidence in spellings and improve their writing.
We are learning our 3 times tables.

| grumpy grumpily |
| happy happily |
| funny funnily |
| lazy lazily |
| noisy noisily |
| scary scarily |
| cheeky cheekily |
| stealthy stealthily |

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!

| 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.
