Spellings week beginning 25th May

You will have 2 weeks to practise these spellings as next week is half term.

These spellings are all homophones which means they are words that sound the same but have different meanings and spellings.

farther

father

band

banned

heard

herd

aloud

allowed

guessed

guest

Perhaps you could practise these words by writing them in sentences. If you are unsure of a meaning of a word, you could use a dictionary or ask an adult to help you. I will add these spellings onto Spelling shed too, so you will able to continue to practise your spellings on there too.

Keep practising, super spellers!

Set 3!

Hi everyone,

Some of you may find the spellings in this section a little tricky. If you normally work with Mrs Owen or are in Mrs Lloyd’s letters and sounds group, you may find this resource to practise your letters and sounds helpful.

Below is a link to a website which contains daily phonics lessons based on letters and sounds (the scheme we follow for phonics).

https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCP_FbjYUP_UtldV2K_-niWw/featured

I would suggest that level 3 lessons would be most appropriate but if these are too tricky, try the previous level.

New lessons are uploaded at 11.30am each weekday.

Have fun with phonics!
