Spelling in English can be tricky. There’s lots of ways to write the ‘o’ sound in our spelling (oe, o, ow, oa). This week, we’d like you to practise the following words to help consolidate this learning. Remember, the words may appear ‘random’, but we are being exposed to different ways of writing similar sounds.

notice                                   suppose                                though                                  although

homeless                              hero                                      goes                                     glowing

To keep it fun, practise these spellings in different ways, check out the ‘super spelling strategies’ on this week’s spelling post (go to the St James’ website, learn more, spelling, Year 3 & 4). Children should practise in preparation for a test on Thursday 19  November 2020.

Fancy a challenge? Use these words in sentences. Or, create silly sentences using as many of them as you can – can you use them all?
