Spellings

Next week’s words are:

sugar
eye
busy
clothes
sure

Parents: We are now be following the year 2 curriculum for spellings.  Many of these words will be in sets with common or alternative spelling patterns. Other words have more complex or unusual spelling patterns and are on the list of common exception words for year 2.  The children are being taught strategies for learning spellings as part of their work at school.  Please encourage them to practice at home during the week and carry out an occasional test to prepare them for Friday morning.  When your children are confident spelling the words please encourage them to use them in sentences.   This will help with understanding and using the words in context.  They could also explore more words with these spelling patterns and bring them to school to share with us.  They will be tested by writing the words in dictated sentences.
