Spellings

The children will be given weekly spellings to practise and we will be using a variety of different activities to help the children learn their spellings and the spelling rules including using spellingframe. The children will be given new spellings on a Monday and they will be tested on a Friday.  It is expected that your child practises their spellings at least three times per week at home.  Keep a look out on Class Dojo for activities to help with this.
