We know that when a singular noun (one thing) ends in y, e.g. teddy, we remove the y and add -ies to make it a plural noun (a group of things) e.g. teddies.
Please practice these words ready for our check on 22nd June.

Spellings 19.05.23
It’s our last week of spellings for this half term! This week, they all include our prefix learning of ‘un’. A prefix is added to the beginning of a word to change the meaning.
Our spellings are: unkind, unhappy, unfair, untie, unable, unused, uncover, unlucky, unsafe, and unhealthy.
Help at home by talking about the meaning of these words and how that changes if we remove the prefix ‘un’.
Spellings 24.03.23
It’s our final week of spellings for this half term! We are going to be spelling adverbs. An adverb gives us information about how something is done.
