I can talk about different ways to get on with my friends.
Our current SEAL theme is getting on. We’ve been learning about how to manage our feelings as well as learning to understand the feelings of others. Have a discussion with your family about all the ways you can get on with friends in and out of school.
Get your child justify their thoughts by using conjunctions like because or as.

This week we are spelling words with plurals. The children have to find twelve different spellings to fit the following rules.
Most nouns just add an s:
- envelope envelopes
Many nouns ending with a consonant and a y: drop the y for an i, then add es:
- family families
Nouns ending in a ‘s’ or other soft sound (ss, ch, x): add an es:
- dress dresses
- relax relaxes
- crutch crutches
Children will be tested on their twelve individual spelling and other words that have the same rule on Friday 23 November.

This week the spelling chant to practise with your child is ‘drop the y for an i’. The adverb of these words is modified by adding either an er added or est at the end which changes the meaning. Children should learn all these words and see if they can come with some of their own.
| LO: drop the y for an i. | ||
| funnily | funnier | funniest |
| nastily | nastier | nastiest |
| crazily | crazier | craziest |
| greedily | greedier | greediest |
| angrily | angrier | angriest |
| cheekily | cheekier | cheekiest |
There’s another spelling rule used in the spellings this week. Can you spot which one it is?
