Spellings and Mental Maths

Spellings

This week’s words to learn are:

hiker
writer
ripest
latest
bravest

Parents: all words are selected from the age-appropriate National Curriculum lists, these are words your child has to know by the end of Year 2.  Children are being taught strategies for learning spellings as part of their work at school.  Please encourage them to practice at home during the week, and carry out an occasional test to prepare them for Friday morning.  They will be tested by writing the words in dictated sentences.

Please make sure children are saying these numbers correctly with the ‘ty’ sound on the end and not confusing them with the teen numbers.
