Spelling

Friday 18 January 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. 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.

This week, spelling homework contains words that have the /I/ sound but are spelt with a Y.

These words will be tested on Friday 21 December.

We are learning our 4 times tables.

The spellings this week are to look at and begin to practise the Year 2 common exception word list.

Your child may be a confident speller. If this is the case, they should pick out the words that they struggle to spell and practise these. If your child finds spelling more difficult and needs to learn a lot of the words, they are split into sets in the homework book. You could work on a set of words every couple of weeks alongside the other weekly spelling lists to slowly build their confidence.

This week’s spellings require the children to apply a number of the skills we’ve learnt so far this year.

We’ve learnt all sorts of rules about adding prefixes and suffixes to words this term. Using the table below, see how many different (and real) words you can build using the prefixes, root words and suffixes supplied. If you can think of your own too, that’s great.

There will be no test on Friday 21 December but we will share the words we’ve built with each other.

This week, the phoneme we’re learning about is u which, in these spellings,  is spelled with an o.

07 December 2018

This week, our spellings focus on words which contain the ‘ew’ digraph. This digraph can make two slightly different sounds. It can make the ‘oo’ and the ‘you’ sound.
