Next week, we will be looking at words which have an -il or     -al ending. These are much less frequent than the -le ending.

  • metal
  • pedal
  • capital
  • hospital
  • animal
  • pencil
  • nostril
  • fossil

The children will be tested on these words on Thursday 24th October 2019.

Following each weekly spelling test, the children are asked to spell random  words that have already been learnt. Often, we find that lots of spellings are correct for a test but soon forgotten.

This week’s spellings are words with a silent k.

In words starting with kn the letter k is silent. Silent letters are the letters in words that are not pronounced but make a huge difference to the meaning and sometimes the pronunciation of the whole word.

knock
know
knew
knee
knight
knot
knife
knit
