Spellings

Spellings in Blue class are given to the children on a Monday. We test spellings the following Monday.

New spellings are given on paper for the children to bring home and are posted on the spellings section on the class page. We do learn about the spelling patterns in class, practise spellings in different ways, and encourage the children to think about which ways work best for them.

Please encourage your child to practise spellings and think about the pattern at home. We are aiming to embed spellings in children’s long term memories not just to have learn them for a Friday test. Knowing them by Friday is a good start though! For spellings to remembered long term, most people need to keep practising  and  recalling them from the memory many times.
