This week, we’ve been learning about homophones. Homophones are words that sound the same but are spelt differently and have a different meaning. Choose a homophone from each bullet point and write it in a sentence- in the right context. Can you up-level your sentences by using fronted adverbials?

Please email me your sentences to nataliebeatson@spherefederation.org
