Here are our new spellings for next term. The test will be on Friday 8th January, which seems a long way away but don't leave learning them until the last minute! The Christmas break is also a great opportunity to recap all the spellings that we have learned over the course of this term. Can you remember the meaning of each word and how you could use them in a sentence? The spellings below are all words with short /i/ sound spelt with ‘y’:

Our spellings this week are statutory spelling words for Year 3. This means that they are important words that we have to know and be able to use! Make sure you know the meaning of each and try to use them in a sentence. Learn them for next Friday (11th December):
believe

often
group

continue

Our spellings this week are some more lovely adverbs! These adverbs have all been created adding the suffix '-ly' but they are a bit more challenging because they are exceptions to the rules that we have learned so far this half term. You will need to learn each individually and make sure you know what they mean by looking in a dictionary (real or online) or by asking an adult. Can you put each one into a sentence? Learn them ready for Friday 4th December.
