As a school we are now following a new spelling scheme. This will involve more spelling focussed lessons with regular testing across the week. Therefore, an official weekly test of spellings will not take place. You may of course continue to practise at home and the spellings will be on the website each week.

Thank you

Mrs Roberts – Deputy Headteacher and Grinshill Class Teacher

I would recommend, at least 5 to 10 minutes practise each day. Use one of the methods the children learn at school, such as;

• Look, Cover, Write, Check
• Breaking into chunks – sounds e.g       of-ten = often
• Mnemonics (A rhyme to remember) big elephants can always understand small elephants = because
• Word shapes
• Colour words

Thank you Mrs Roberts
