Spellings

We give out an overview of our spellings once a half term with all of our spellings for the half term on it. Every week we will set a spelling quiz as a 'To Do' on Purple Mash. All children have their own logins. We would like them to submit a quiz once a week but they can use it to practise their spellings as many times as they want to.

On a Friday we will select a few of their spellings to give in a dictation exercise.

Below you will find a copy of the spelling letters and some more ideas for how to practise spellings at home.

Timetable and Homework

 

Below there is a timetable showing what we will be doing. Some weeks may vary. Maths homework is due in and given out on a Monday and English homework is due in and given out on a Thursday. We will do a spelling dictation on a Friday. Children are expected to read daily for about 15 minutes. Their Home/School books should be used to record when they do this.
