ENGLISH - Spellings

Please can you test your child on last week's spellings to see how well they have been remembered.  This helps to give your child a reason to learn their spellings.  Please keep this relaxed and if they spell a work incorrectly, just ask your child to copy it correctly to try and help them to remember it.

Please, as always, give praise for effort and trying their best!

Your child will be starting new spellings for Week 2.

Please work through the Powerpoint to explain the new spelling rule to your child.

Then in your child's Handwriting and Spelling Book they can complete today's activity.

Monday's activity is the Continuous Cursive Handwriting Page. 

Please check for correct letter formation and size of letters.
