Spellings

This week’s words to learn are:

race
these
like
hope
use

Parents: The focus for spellings for the next few weeks will be revision of some of the trickier phase 5 phonics alternative spelling patterns.  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 will be tested by writing the words in dictated sentences.
