Thank you!
Spelling Frame - Complete a quiz on your new spellings this week and play the games for between 10 to 30 minutes. Take a break if you need to. Focus on the new rule. What do all the words have in common? Take the opportunity to reflect back and look at a range of spellings over the previous term. Are you using these words in your writing wherever possible and when they fit? They give you an idea of the type of words we will be looking to see in your work. Choose three of your spellings that could fit into this week's whole school writing.
