Half term homework

Hello Year 5/6,

Today, you were given the Year 3/4 and Year 5/6 statutory spellings. Over the half term, we would like you to choose 5 words a day to learn from either list. 40 words in total over the week. Please choose words you do not already know. To help learn them please use the spelling strategies: rainbow writing, draw round the word, look, cover, write, check, consonants only, vowels only, speed writing, pyramid words and drawing round words. We understand that some children struggle more with spellings that others but please just try your best!

We will continue to revise the words in school after half term before starting to test you on the words.

Do not worry if you have lost the sheet. The words can be found on Seesaw, on the website, in your reading records and on the internet.

Let us know if you have any questions,

Have a lovely half term,

Year 5/6 team
