Well done Red class, we can see that many of you are learning your spellings at home as well as in school.

This week we are learning about homophones – two or more words which have the same pronunciation but different meanings or spellings.  The children should know which group they are in and it will be on their spelling sheets which are given out on a Friday.

Group 2 -peace, piece, main, mane, fair, fare, bear, bare, blew, blue

Group 3 – aloud, allowed, heard, herd, weather, whether, past, passed

This week’s words are taken from the year 3/4 word list. Read all of the words and discuss them with an adult. Look for patterns in the words and ways to help you remember spelling them.

I have set an activity for you on Purple Mash to help you learn them too and you can leave me a message when you have done it!
