Your child will have a note in their contact book informing you which spelling group they are in: Tulips, Marigolds or Buttercups.
This week they will have a paper copy of the spellings in their contact book which they need to learn for the test on Friday 25th September. The most effective way of learning these spellings is to repeat the activity at least 3 times during the week and that is why the spellings are on a grid with 3 blank columns.
Please practise each of these words during each session. The best strategy which we teach at school is to look at the word, say it aloud, cover it up, write it from memory and check that it is correct. If they do not spell it correctly the first time, don't worry but help them to understand the error and how to put it right next time.
Please speak to your child's teacher at the gate or via the contact book if you need further information.
Happy practising!

We are currently assessing the children's phonics and their knowledge of spelling the Year 1 Common Exception Words and Year 2 Common Exception Words. Spelling lists will be published on Friday 18th September when you will have been informed which group your child will need to work on.
Many thanks
