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).
Week 1 - Test on Wed 14th Jan
Rule 1 - The /g/ sound spelt 'gu'
guide
guitar
guard
guest
guardian
quarantee
(4 mystery spellings during the test will follow the same spelling rule)
Week 2 - Test on Wed 22nd Jan
Rule 2 - words ending with 'ture'
mixture
adventure
capture
feature
moisture
nature
(4 mystery spellings during the test)
