We’ve been learning about some common homophones: words that sound the same but mean different things and are spelt in different ways. This is a helpful guide from BBC teach that children, and adults, can use to remind themselves of what homophones are – the link is available on the spelling page of our website (go to the St James’ website, learn more, spelling, Year 3 & 4).

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 Scholes website, learn more, spelling, Year 3 & 4). Children should practise in preparation for a test on Thursday 26 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?
Also, if you haven’t checked out our class news page recently, please do. Teachers post regularly to update adults at home about our learning in school (go to the St James’ website, learn more, class news, Year 3 & 4).
