It’s the Easter holidays and, in line with our Homework Policy, teachers do not set spellings or homework tasks. Instead, enjoy the sunny weather by getting active: a trip to the park, a game of football, a cycle ride or a long walk!
During the holidays, two of our teachers will visit Italy, one will be in Russia and one will be in…Barry Island!

This week, we’re spelling words with the ending ‘ous‘, which means ‘full of, famous, full of fame’.
Spellings will be tested on Friday 09 March 2012.
- tremendous
- fabulous
- marvellous
- ridiculous
- dangerous
- furious
- gracious
- ravenous
- scandalous
- incredulous
- delicious
Children will also have to put the spellings into a sentence to show they understand the meanings of the words. It’s probably a good idea, therefore, to find the meanings as well as the spellings.
The children will also be expected to use the spellings in speaking and listening activities in class and in their writing.

Learn all the spellings and find three more superlatives of your own.
