Keep checking the school’s Home Learning page as the Senior Leadership Team are working hard to add videos and interactivity to Pelham’s home schooling experience.

Our aim is to keep the same routine with spellings as if we were at school;

Tues/ Weds– new spellings on blog

Throughout the week– practise your spellings in a variety of ways

Monday– have a spelling test at home, mark your spellings with the help of an adult and make corrections with a different coloured pen.

Spellings are something that are good to keep ‘ticking over’ as they can be easily forgotten without regular practice, so we hope you keep up the great work at home.

We hope that you and your families are well.

We are trying to keep the timetable for spellings the same as if we were at school.

Tuesdays/ Wednesdays- spelling blog is updated with new spellings

Rest of the week- learn your spellings, using a variety of ways, this is listed in the home learning section for Year 2 as ‘interesting ways’ on Friday e.g. bubble writing, write a definition etc.

Monday- give your child a short spelling test, as they would have at school. Children are used to marking the tests themselves and making their corrections in a different coloured pen. Children can be extended by writing a sentence with the spelling word included.

Remember you can skip back to the previous week’s spellings if you need to look at them again.

We are writing our own version of the story, ‘STUCK’ by Oliver Jeffers over the next few weeks.

Oliver uses contractions in his stories to help the words to flow.

We are therefore concentrating on contractions in our spelling this week, to inspire our story writing.
