| Year 5 Statutory Spellings | ||||
| This week’s spelling 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! Can you show them in a creative way? Can you write them in your own sentences? Can you use them in a list with semi colons? | ||||
| aggressive | disastrous | especially | nuisance | profession |
| restaurant | symbol | variety | vegetable | yacht |
There will be a spelling test on Friday 01 February.

This week’s spelling continues to look at the –gue and –que suffix.
Research and complete the bank of words for each suffix. Then, find out and write down the meaning of these words in the chart, below. You could find the meaning by asking a parent/carer, asking a friend, using a dictionary or researching online with a parent’s permission.
We are learning the 3 times table.

Create ways for you to remember how to spell these words and generally practise using the strategies in the back of your homework book. 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 no test from this list but instead there’ll be a word search to complete on Friday which will include these words.
- category
- cemetery
- committee
- communicate
- community
- competition
- conscience
- conscious
- controversy
- convenience
- correspond
- criticise
- curiosity
