Spelling Activities

Hello everybody. I have some requests for printable sheets for learning our spelling rules.

These sheets practise this week’s rule: endings spelt “tion” which make the “SHUN” sound. Some of the words are different from the list, but they do follow the rule.

Don’t forget the pyramid words, back writing etc on this sheet which can be used for all spellings:

I hope these help. Choose the ones which work in your family – we don’t all learn spelling best in the same way. Remember, the aim is to be able to spell them correctly when you used them in your writing.

Spellings W/C 30th March

This week we are looking at a spelling pattern: word endings that sound like /ʃən/ (/shuhn/), spelt ‘-ssion’. We have already looked at two other ways that endings can make the same sound (“cian”  e.g. musician and “sion” e.g. extension)

The spellings are listed below – these are examples of the spelling pattern. There is a powerpoint you can use to look at the pattern too.Year 4 Term 1b Week 2 Presentation.

expression

admission

profession

impression

discussion

confession

transmission

permission

possession

I have also uploaded some ideas for learning spellings in different ways. The children are used to doing some of them in class already. There are some we have not yet tried in class too! varied spelling_activities

Spell Zone is a website which some children find useful for learning spellings. https://www.spellzone.com/curriculum/national-curriculum/years-3-4.cfm

There are free access areas. There is also an option to subscribe. I know some children who find spelling tricky have found it useful in the past as it creates a self learning path based on gaps it identifies.
