This week Red class have been given their first 10 spellings to go home and practise. After school closure we feel it is best to give spellings surrounding children's Year 1 and 2 common exception words. If your child is confident in spelling these words please use the spelling books to practise using these words in sentences (to help understand the meaning). This is also a great opportunity for children to practise handwriting and punctuation at home, which are extremely important skills to continue to develop in Year 2!!!!!

I will post the spellings on the class page every week (please see below). The children will take home spellings every Friday and be tested on them the following Friday. Please make sure your child's spelling book is back in school on Fridays. Thank you for your continued support and please do not hesitate to ask any questions.
