19 November 2010
This week’s spellings have the suffix ‘ness‘, which helps to change adjectives (describing words) like tidy into nouns (things) like tidiness. Can you change the words into adverbs (which often end in ‘…ly’) to describe how you might do something?
They also have the rule of ‘drop the y for an i‘. These spellings will be tested on Friday 26 November.

tidy |
tidiness |
|

15 October 2010
This week’s spellings are have a simple rule: adding ‘s’ to make plurals (more than one). We don’t use apostrophes to do this!
There is space on the list for the children to challenge themselves and think of more difficult words that follow the same pattern (there’s one used in this homework post!).
These will be tested on Thursday 21 October, instead of Friday, as the children are not in school.
| Singular | Plural |
| game | games |
| pond | ponds |
| bean | beans |
| rope | ropes |
| pockets | |
| window | windows |
| display | displays |
| table | tables |
| board | boards |
| school | schools |

Like last week, spellings are adjectives and adverbs and how we can change between each.
This week the adjectives all end in ‘y’. We have to drop the ‘y’ for an ‘i’ before we add ‘ly’.

| weary | wearily |
| sleepy | sleepily |
| scary | scarily |
| happy | happily |
| grumpy | grumpily |
| lucky | luckily |
| angry | angrily |
| bumpy | bumpily |
| Now can you think of your own? | |
These spellings will be tested on Friday 15 October 2010.
