This week’s spelling homework is a little creative and is due on Thursday 24 June.
Using these Greek and Latin roots and their meanings, create your own animals where their name gives you an idea of their appearance and/or behaviour.
Eg punctata quadrocornisbiped (dotted four-horned two footed animal). Create at least five different names and then choose one to draw and write a paragraph informing us about it.

| path – means “feeling or
suffering” |
gress – means “to walk” |

This week’s spelling list is formed using our Must Do homophones for Year 3. Children should practise listening to a sentence read aloud and writing the correct word. For example:
“I use my ears to hear what you’re saying.”
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
- of/have (shouldn’t have)
- which/witch
Children should learn these in preparation for a spelling test on Friday 22 June.

This week’s spellings link to our class novel and the sailing we’ve done at Yeadon Tarn. I’ll be asking the children to spell ten of the sailing terminology on the diagram below and there’ll be extra points available for being able to identify where it is on the diagram and even more for if they can say what job it has. These spellings will be tested on Friday 15 June 2018.

Homophones
For the next two weeks, our spelling focus will be all about homophones: words that sound the same but are spelt differently. In order to practise, I would like you to create a short (possibly silly) story using all the words below.
cereal – serial
father – farther
guessed – guest
morning – mourning
who’s – whose
You should complete this activity by Thursday 14 June 2018 so we can enjoy them as part of our homework review.
