SPELLINGS NOTICE
This week, we will continue to send home the common exception word spelling sheets as usual. In addition to this, we have made the decision that for this half-term, there will be no RWI spelling tests for the children due to timetabling and a range of events that are happening. Instead, we would like the children to focus on reading, writing and spelling the tricky red words (common exception words) in context. This will support your child as we begin to assess the progress they have made with red words in Year 1. Please find a list of the common exception words further down this page.
The children are using their "fred fingers" to spell really effectively. Remember to look carefully at any tricky parts of the word and to "chunk" multisyllabic words to spell.
