Spellings

Weekly Spellings

The folders below will contain spelling lists. The lists will be added on a Monday and you will be tested on the following Friday.

Spelling lists will either contain keywords for new topics or words that contain common spelling patterns.

The words have three purposes:

• to improve your knowledge of spelling patterns;
• to give you opportunities to learn about words on the Years 5 and 6 word list;
• to revise spelling patterns that you will need to know for the end of years assessments; and
• to improve your vocabulary by learning what the words mean and then using them in your writing.

Be careful - the lists can sometimes look simple at first glance, but there are always words that can trip you up!!
