Spelling 

This year we will be learning spellings in a slightly different way than in Year 1 in order to tailor the spelling words to each individual child. Your child will be given a specific set of ten words which they will be tested on each Friday. Please ask your child about their spellings and encourage them to practise their words to be ready for their spelling test.
