Year 2 Spelling

18 January 2019

This week, the words are all  adjectives and require you to double up for a short vowel sound when adding the suffixes -er (comparative)  and -est (superlative).

11 January 2019

The spellings this week are all verbs which need to double up for a short vowel when adding the suffix ed or ing. The words in the first column are all in the infinitive (eg. to pat). The words in the second column with the suffixes are the words which will be tested.

14 December 2018

The spellings this week are to look at and begin to practise the Year 2 common exception word list.

Your child may be a confident speller. If this is the case, they should pick out the words that they struggle to spell and practise these. If your child finds spelling more difficult and needs to learn a lot of the words, they are split into sets in the homework book. You could work on a set of words every couple of weeks alongside the other weekly spelling lists to slowly build their confidence.

Next week, we’re looking at words which have an -il or -al ending. These are much less common than the -le ending.

Homework review

Thank you to the parents who joined us for the homework review this afternoon. Below are some of our favourite homeworks from the week.

We liked Bridget’s playscript which we acted out in very little time – super directing skills, Bridget!

We were also amazed by how many top tips Gabriel had to help us if we’re being bullied.

We loved Karan’s bullying acrostic poem.

Iris’s No Bully Boy superhero showed us how to stop bullies and how anyone can be a superhero by telling a trusted adult if you see someone being bullied.

Inam’s bullying sculpture gave us lots of tips if we’re being bullied.

09 November 2018

Next week, we’re learning about the -le phoneme at the end of a word. This is the most common spelling of this sound. We’ll be learning some of the alternatives over the next few weeks.

Next week, we’re learning about adding -es to nouns and verbs which end in a -y. Children need to drop the y for an i before adding es. Children will be tested on the words in the second column.
