Spellings- Week 3:

Let's start off today, in the same way we do every Tuesday morning, with our spelling lessons.  The Year 5 and Year 6 lesson and resources are below, and I've placed a link to the Spelling Bees in case you've forgotten where they are. You will notice that I have added a suggestion for learning spellings on the spellings page, which works really well for pupils who find learning spellings difficult. 

Remember that you should choose activities from the 'spelling strategies' sheet to help you learn your spellings and that 'learning spellings' is not just doing these supporting activities.  Take time each day to practise the words, with an aim to get full marks in your test and then remember them forever.
