Posted on Friday 16 October 2020 by Mr Roundtree

This week, please learn the following spellings ready to be tested on Thursday 22 October. There are many ways to practise these, for example:

  • Rainbow write (write them in many different colours)
  • Speed write (how many times can you write a word in a minute)
  • Pyramid write (write one letter, then two, then three etc till you’ve written the whole word
  • Look, cover, write

This week, all of your spellings have a suffix (ed or ing). Remember the three rules:

  • Just add the suffix
  • Drop the e and add the suffix
  • Double the last consonant and add the suffix

See if you can explain to your adult which rule each of these words has followed.

This week we have been focusing on the suffixes –ful and –less

Take the root word and rewrite it by adding one of the suffixes –ful and –less to make a adjective.

Root word  + ful + less
fruit    
heart    
thought    
care    
use    
hope    
thank    
harm    
doubt    
help    

 

Can you find any more words with –ful and –less as suffixes?

This week we have been learning to use apostrophes for contractions. Don’t forget to put the apostrophe in the correct place! You wouldn’t want to get it wrong. Let’s be smart about it!

I’ll don’t you’re couldn’t

haven’t wouldn’t shouldn’t hasn’t

they’re aren’t let’s

hadn’t she’s he’s

Can you use each of these words in a sentence? Can you think of any more examples?
