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.

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?
- Can you think of a way to teach others how to spell it?
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.
