Spelling update - September 

Autumn 1 Spellings for Years 3 and 4 are listed in the grids below.

We will no longer have 'traditional' spelling tests. In class, we will be working on the High Frequency Words and Common Exception Words which are outlined below. You may wish to use these grids at home to support your child's spelling.

Children will not be given spelling tests each week. Words will be taught in school throughout the week. Work marked will target these spellings only with children asked to copy out spellings three times at the end of their work. Bespoke target spellings to be given to each child (via a card flap in their books) for further focus of individual need. Words will be available on classroom displays and resources on tables so children are immersed in them. Spelling Shed will be set up so children can access additional spellings at home if they desire.
