Weekly Spellings - Monday 5th October 2020
04 Oct 2020
Here are the spellings for this week. The children have gone through these in school today and will be tested on Friday 9th October. Please make sure that your child is learning their spellings. Click the link here to find out some different strategies you can use to support your child at home.
Year 3 and 4:
The children have looked at spellings that contain the prefix im-. We have looked at how when this is added to the root word it means that the root word is the opposite and therefore not.
immeasurable
improper
impossible
immature
impatient
imperfect
immovable
impolite
important
immortal
Year 5 and 6:
The children have looked at adjectives ending in -ant and nouns ending in -ance or -ancy. We looked at the rule that if the root word can be given an -ation ending then it will usually end in -ant. We then thought about the fact that once we had learnt the adjective form of these -ant spellings, it becomes much easier to form nouns using the same root by adding either -ance or ancy.
observant
observance
hesitant
hesitancy
expectant
expectancy
hesitant
hesitancy
tolerant
tolerance
relevant
relevance
Remember words in red are the statuory spellings that children are expected to learn by the end of Year 4 or Year 6.
