I’ve already become muddled with the spellings!

Swallows 

Test on 7.10.19 will be 

-dge words (already listed on blog)

Swifts

Test on 7.10.19 will be

race, ice, cell, city, fancy, face, space, bicycle, circle

Again, many apologies for the mix-up! The children have been super sensible about the muddle.

Best wishes,

Ms. Ruthven

Well done on your first spelling test! We were very pleased with the effort everyone put in. We now know lots of words that begin with the /r/ sound but are spelt with wr-.

We will keep a record of the weekly spellings test scores that we can share with you at Parents’ Evening. If we have any concerns in the meantime, we will always speak to you.

This week, we are looking at the /j/ sound, spelt as -dge and -ge at the end of words.

You might want to practise your spelling in steps like this;

b

ba

bad

badg

badge

The spellings are;

badge

edge

bridge

village

fudge

age

huge

change

dodge

This week we are learning the /r/ sound as /wr/

There are nine spellings to learn. We would encourage children to write out their spellings in a variety of ways. Some ideas for this week could include;

Rainbow write– write each letter with a different colour.

Blue vowel- write the spelling word out but each vowel is blue.

Look, say, cover, write, check– Read the word, say the word, cover the word, write the word without looking, check how you did.

If we have concerns about your child’s spelling test, we will speak to you, or write a note in your child’s reading record. If we don’t speak to you, then they are doing fine!

Children who are not able to access the spellings will use the spelling test time for phonics games. We will speak to you in person if your child will be doing this.
