Happy New Year!!

I hope you've all had a lovely, well-deserved break!

Spellings are going to work a little differently this half term.

Everyone will receive the same spelling rule with 10 spellings every week.

Some children will also receive an additional 5 spellings from the 'Common Exception Word' word list, which will be personalised. This will give children extra support in learning to spell common words, whilst also teaching them the statutory spelling rules for Year 3.

Feel free to pop in for a chat if you have any questions
