Happy Monday!
Our spelling phoneme this week is /sh/. We learned in class today that there are many spelling variations of this phoneme and we worked hard to identify them in a reading passage. Therefore, today’s list is mostly made up of words from this passage. These words may be difficult, but remember, the most important thing is the exposure of these spelling variations; knowing they exist then reading and applying them in different contexts and not worry too much about the spell check result as long as you try your best.
Please click on link below to view this week’s spelling words. As always, once you have practised the word list for your group, feel free to try the others.

This week’s spelling phoneme is /ch/ with its spelling variations /tch/ and /tu/.
Once children have practised their word list, they can try the others too if they like.

Good afternoon,
The children had a ball making butter with Mrs Cunningham this morning as part of their health and wellbeing lesson. Our quality assurance officer (Mr Butler) gave high praise, stating that it tasted as good as, if not better than, shop bought butter!
Please click on the link below for this week’s spelling list. The phoneme is /j/ and its spelling variations include ‘j’, ‘g’, ‘dge’, and ‘ge’.
Spelling-j-g-dge-ge
See below for some ideas to help you practise your spelling, or come up with some of your own.

Good morning,
The children have been focussing so well in spelling and enjoying the different activities to embed their learning in class. Please find the link to the new spelling phoneme below, ‘ll’.
Spelling is practised over two weeks, with an assessment in class every second week. Remember, once your child is confident with their own spelling word list, they are encouraged to try another group’s words. They could also come up with some words of their own to add to their list.
Spelling ll – le – el – al
You could try one of the activities below to practise your spelling.

Scottish Song for Burns Day
Well, after a near unanimous vote, the children decided on learning the Jeely Piece Song for Burns Day this year. The energy in the room as the children sang their first attempt after hearing it for the first time was unmatched. Over the coming weeks, we look forward to disecting and learning more about the story behind the song, as well as learning the song itself for you all to enjoy on the 23rd January.
You will find links to the YouTube video and lyrics for the song below. Please note, I have included all verses in the lyrics below, we may not do all of these, we will see how the children get on and choose their favourites.
Thanks,
Mrs Tweedly
