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.
14 December 2018
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.

Spellings
This week’s spelling list is formed using our Must Do homophones for Year 3. Children should practise listening to a sentence read to them out loud and writing the correct homophone. For example:
“They’re going to a party this weekend.”
Can you think of any fun ways to remember which word is right? Can you write some silly sentences? Can you show your words creatively?
- your/you’re
- its/it’s
- of/off
- they’re/their/there
- which/witch
Children should learn these in preparation for a spelling test on Friday 13 December.
We are learning our 4 times tables.
