Spellings and Times Tables

Spellings

Each Friday your child will be tested on current spellings and given new ones that you can find here. We recommend your child practises their spellings regularly as part of their after-school routine. Each spelling sound or rule will link to learning we have been doing in school. Each list will contain some spellings that are 'common exception words' which do not follow the common taught rules of phonics and spellings.

Summer 2

This half term's spellings will be a revision of words that children have found trickier to apply within their writing during the year. When practising at home, please practise writing sentences containing these words too so that children have chance to apply them.
