Spellings for term 1.1

Year 5/6 Spelling – Half Term 1

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)
• ‘double up for a short vowel sound’
• ‘drop the y for an i’
• using apostrophes for contraction (eg can’t, won’t)
• adding the suffixes ed, ing, er, est
• adding the prefixes un, dis, im, in, ir, il

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