This week in their spelling lessons, Year 2 will be focusing on the ‘or’ family of words, particularly the sound being spelt with an a when it comes before an -l or -ll.
The words they will be focusing on include:
The children will not be tested on these words, but we will be challenging them to be including them in their writing and looking for application in their work.
This week in their spelling lessons, Year Two will be focusing on common exception words. Common exception words are words that do not follow the common phonetic spelling rules children learn in Year 1 and Year 2.

The words they will be focusing on include:
The children will not be tested on these spellings, but we will be looking for application of them in their writing.

The words they will be focusing on include:
The children will not be tested on these words, but we will be challenging them to be including them in their writing and looking for application in their work.
We are moving away from formal spelling tests in Pimhill and Haughmond, and will instead be working on the application of correct spellings in written work. However, if you would like to continue to work on spellings with your child at home, the below attachments are the common exception words for Year One and Year Two. These are sometimes referred to as ‘tricky words’ as they do not follow the spelling patterns that children learn in Key Stage One.
