| alien words |
| This week’s spelling activity is to make up ten of your own alien words using our three spelling rules: double up for a short vowel sound, drop the y for an i and drop the e for ing. You must know how to pronounce your alien word, come up with your own definition and write it in a sentence. |
For example:
treeve (treeving) verb
To move around vigorously and quickly, as if being chased by bees.
“I wonder why Mrs Burgess is treeving over there. There aren’t any bees nearby,” said Miss Wilson.

| untidy |
| untie |
| unlock |

This week’s spelling activity is to make a word search with the following words:

Made-up words
This week, you should use our three key spelling rules (and any others you can think of) to create 5 of your own made-up words. The word should contain at least one of the rules: double up for a short vowel sound, drop the ‘y’ for an ‘i’ and/or drop the ‘e’ for ‘ing’. Each word must have a definition.
Next week, we’ll vote for our 10 favourites and these will form our word list for the week after. We’ll have our vote on Friday 13 July.

The spellings this week are homophones again. Instead of a list, children have a task to complete in their books.
We’ll review this on Thursday with homework and then children will be tested on 8 different homophones on Friday.

| dishes |
| dresses |
| matches |
| classes |
