Good morning! I hope everyone had a fabulous weekend! ☺️
Literacy:
Today we will be practising our spelling!
Monday 18th May
Spelling
I can use spelling strategies to help me spell accurately.
Warm Up:
A:Find the ten ph words in the wordsearch and write them neatly in your jotters.
B: Write a sentence that has two ph words in it. For example,
Unfortunately, the elephant was late for his geography lesson.
Main Task:
In most words ph sounds like an f. All the ph’s in the words above are written with an f and you need to correct them, be careful though as there are two that are already spelled correctly that you must avoid!
Extension:
A: Sort the words in the box into the lists below according to their Greek root word.
graph | sphere | phone | photo |
B: Without using the dictionary, choose four of the words and write a definition of each, using what you have been told about their Greek origins.
C: Find at least another two words to add to each list.
Today I will be giving 200 Sumdog coins to the 5 pupils who answer the most questions accurately by 3 o’clock – good luck! 🍀
