This week’s spelling activity is to come up with a list of words that you find tricky to spell. Once you’ve finished, write each word in your own sentence.
- Can you write them in a silly story?
- Can you draw a picture to represent the word?

In class, we discussed a few tricky spellings you might want to make a note of:
- school
- laugh
- rough
- quiet
- does
- cough

Revision
This week, children have been given a copy of the statutory word list for years 5 and 6. This list contains examples of the words children should know how to spell by the end of Year 6. However, many of the words on the list are similar to the rules and patterns we have learnt this year. Children should revise these rules/words in preparation for a test next week. Evidence of this revision should be shown in their homework books.

| Are we nearly there? |

We will be having weekly spelling tests now until the end of term. The children have been given a copy of the statutory word list for Years 3 and 4.
The class are very familiar with all of these words. However, we don’t just want the children to learn these for a test. We want to make sure that they implement this learning into their writing.
We will test the children on a selection of these words so they need to work on the spellings that they are unsure of.
