Class 3 Spellings – to be tested on Friday 10th November

Dear Parents/Carers,

There is a note in the front of every child’s spelling book regarding spelling practise from now on. Please ensure you read this and if there are any questions please don’t hesitate to pop in and ask.

Many Thanks,

Class 3 Spellings – to be tested on Friday 20th October

Some of the Year 2 children have spellings with ‘ge’ and ‘dge’. They have been learning that words with a long vowel sound are spelt with ‘ge’ and words with a short vowel sound are spelt with ‘dge’. It would be helpful to remind them of this when they are practising their spellings.

Year 3 children have got homophones for their spellings this week. It is important that the children know which spelling to use for which meaning, therefore it may help to encourage your child to put their spellings into sentences when practising them.

If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to pop in and ask.

Dear Parents/Carers,

The children’s spellings this week are linked to some work we have been doing in maths on matching numerals to written words. Therefore, the children’s spellings this week are all numbers.

Some assessments are currently being carried out, so please bear in mind that it is not unusual for your child to change spelling group over the course of the next few weeks as we assess their spelling needs.

We always emphasise to the children that spelling tests are just a part of their learning and that the most important thing is that they learn the meaning of words and are able to use and spell them correctly within their independent writing. With this in mind, when practising at home with your child it is helpful to ask them to write their spellings in sentences. I have sent home a practise sheet for each group so please feel free to use the back of this to do so.

Many Thanks,

Miss Barratt
