Well done Yellow Class for working so hard to learn your spellings this term!

I will not be setting new spellings until after Christmas but you might like to brush up on any that you have found tricky!

I am also including in this post the common exception words that the children are expected to be able to spell by the end of Year 1, Year 2 and Year 4.

I will not be setting new spellings for the holiday but feel free to look back and practise any that you found tricky! Keeping a diary is a great way of working on your writing, even if you just write a line or two a day.
Happy holidays! Miss Pinches
