As a school we are using a new scheme for our spellings. This links to our writing and reading we already do in school. We complete lessons throughout the week using a new set of spellings. This consists of strategies to help learn the tricky words, games and sentence work to put the words into context.

We will still have weekly spellings for the children to practise at home, however these won’t be tested in the same way as before.

Please support your child in learning these words. Thank you
