It’s the half-term break…
…so there’s no homework or spellings this week. Enjoy the holiday, whatever you get up to.
17 May 2013
This week we are looking at a trigraph: a three letter grapheme, where three letters represent one sound (phoneme), as in air (three letters making one sound).
These words will be tested on Friday 25 May 2013.
| air |
| fair |
| hairbrush |
| chair |
| airport |
| stair |
10 May 2013
This week, we’re learning to spell words with alternative spellings for the ‘long i’ phoneme – the ‘long i’ sound in words such as those in the list. Some words use igh, some use i-e, some use a y (often at the end of the word).
You can help your child’s spelling:
- look out for these when reading, or anywhere in the home, in shops etc
- prepare labels with igh, i-e, y – read out words and see if your child can say which spelling pattern (which grapheme) they use
- think about other words which use igh, i-e or y to create a ‘long i’ sound – how many can your child find?
- are there other ways to create this sound?
These words will be tested on Friday 17 May 2013.

26 April 2013
We’re reviewing our learning on split digraphs this week: the ‘e’ at the end makes the vowel in the word a longer sound – compare ‘rid’ with ‘ride’, for example.
These words will be tested on Friday 03 May 2013.
| ride |
| like |
| time |
| cake |
| made |
| hope |
| home |
| nose |
19 April 2013
We’re learning to spell words with y at the end.
Ending a word with ‘y’ can sometimes make a very short ‘e’ or ‘i’ sound, such as ‘party’ and ‘lady’. However, the words in this list are all single-syllable words where the ‘y’ makes a long ‘i’ sound.
These will be tested on Friday 26 April.
