This week’s spelling activity is to practise some common homophones using Spelling Shed. All children have been given a Spelling Shed login to use at home but please come in to see me if you’re having any problems. Just log in as normal and the activity that you need to click on will pop straight up!

This week, there’s no word list. Instead, children need to recap and practise one of our key spelling rules: double up for a short vowel sound.
Here are a few examples of Y5 appropriate words which contain a ‘double up’:
accommodate
aggressive
communicate
Children should find and practise other, similar words. They may find examples in their reading books or in previous Year 5 lists.

This week’s spellings require the children to apply a number of the skills we’ve learnt so far this year.
We’ve learnt all sorts of rules about adding prefixes and suffixes to words this term. Using the table below, see how many different (and real) words you can build using the prefixes, root words and suffixes supplied. If you can think of your own too, that’s great.
There will be no test on Friday 21 December but we will share the words we’ve built with each other.

Can you write a character or setting description and use parenthesis? |
