To support with understanding definitions for spellings, the ‘Collins children’s Cobuild dictionary’ is a very useful tool.

Year 3/4

rhyme system

Please ensure children practice spellings and write the words in a context.

There are some individuals with alternative spellings but their words are recorded in their books.

All Year 3/4 spellings have been covered.
In the New Year, children will start to have different spellings. Some children are ready to move on to the Year 5/6 spellings but others need to secure these words and will repeat the Year 3/4 words.

Any queries please contact your class teacher.

Due to changes in the Literacy curriculum in Year 6 children are expected to be secure with all KS2 spellings. There will be no choice in terms of degrees of difficulty. All children, of all abilities, need to learn the following for next week:

question regular remember straight ancient bruise category definite embarrass

foreign

Please encourage not to use capitals unless required for the start of a sentence or a proper noun
