This week, we are looking at the short ‘i’ sound being spelt with a ‘y’ e.g. gym, myth, mystery and system.

Here are the words to learn. Well done everyone for last week as they all did well in the spelling test – lots of merits were awarded and Mrs Colin-Stokes’s group had an extra treat!

This week we are looking at the prefix ‘mis’ which turns a word into a negative meaning. When you are learning the words, please ask your child what is the root word

e.g. misread      the prefix is mis and the root word is read.

This week we are learning about the prefix – ‘re’ which usually means again or back. We have discussed how it is added to the root word to change it’s meaning

e.g. root word = write and the new word is rewrite when the prefix is added. If you want to do more, you can find examples of other -‘re’ words.

We are continuing to learn the spelling patterns this half-term.

This weeks words are homophones which are words that sound the same but have different meanings and spellings. It is important that children understand the meaning and how to use the words in context. You can look at finding other homophones too!
