Spellings
This year, we are trying to encourage pupils to focus on learning the rule behind spellings rather than learn a set of 10 spellings every week. As a result of this, your child will need to learn 6 spellings that follow a particular rule and then they will receive mystery spellings during their weekly spelling test (every Wednesday).
