Thank you for your continued engagement. A reminder of the different strategies to use to practice spelling words:

https://www.spellingtraining.com/

  • Look, Say, Cover, Write, Check.
  • Mnemonics- Creating sentences using the first letter of each word spells the target word.
  • Elkonin Boxes.
  • Diacritical Marking
  • Drawing pictures to match their words.
  • Morphology- prefixes, root and suffixes.
  • Analogy- Using their knowledge of sounds to spell out their words.

Christmas Nativity

Hello all,

It is that time of year! The pupils have been working hard on learning the nativity songs and practising their scene. If you get any time at home, it would be great to practise your child’s lines with them.

We appreciate any extra practise they can get in these next two weeks!
