Weekly Spellings
Spellings will be set on Friday alongside a Spelling Shed activity. Children will be tested on these spelling on the following Friday.
When practising spellings at home, please encourage your child to write once, cover and write again without looking. You can also discuss the meaning of each word, and encourage your child to put the words into sentences.
