Revision
As it is the last week of this half-term, instead of being given a list of words to learn, you should revise all the rules we have focused on so far this year. You will be tested on these rules on Friday 09 February 2017.
Use the spelling page of your homework book to evidence your revision.

Create ways for you to remember how to spell these words and generally practise using the strategies in the back of your homework book. Don’t forget to try adding prefixes and suffixes to the words. 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 a test on Friday 07 February.

This week, children have been given a spelling activity focussing on the use of hyphens. Hyphens are used to change the meaning of a chunk of text/to make it make sense. For example, a man-eating shark is much more dangerous than a man eating shark (a man eating a shark).
Children should complete the activity for Thursday 01 February.
