This week, the spellings are based on some of the tricky words from our phonics revision.
I

into
The children will be tested on these words next Friday 09 October.
When checking the spellings with your child, it is useful to put the word in a sentence so they understand its meaning.
Look at the spelling activities guide (also in your child’s homework books) for some ideas to practise these words. Making up silly sentences, using the spelling words, would be a great way to practise spellings, handwriting (look out for the ascenders like in the letter h and the descenders like in the letter g) and writing sentences!
