Good morning!  I hope everyone had a fabulous weekend! ☺️

Literacy:

Today we will be practising our spelling!

 

Monday 18^th 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.
