Year 5/6 Spelling – Half Term 3

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

Each Friday, you’ll be tested on 8 of the words from the list below.

desert silence unavailable coordinate hindrance
dessert sufficient apparent unnecessary know
unavailable scissors attendance compliment frequent
convenience stationary cooperate complement knock
knight stationery re-enter reinvent castle
