This half-term, our spellings are linked to the rules and strategies we’ll be learning in class:
- homophones (words that sound the same but are spelled differently)
- spelling patterns: ant/ance, ent/ence
- adding prefixes: co and re
- adding prefixes: un, dis, im, in, ir, il
- apostrophes for contraction and possession
- spelling patterns: silent letters
