Spellings

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 

appear 

often 

group 

breath 

continue 

arrive 

women 

describe 

height 

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.

This week's spellings are adverbs that have been created using the suffix -ly  and where the root words end in ‘ic’ or ‘al’. The test will be next Friday (27th Nov):

basically

frantically

dramatically

magically

tragically

comically

actually

accidentally

occasionally

eventually

incredibly

probably

Welcome back! This week's spellings are more lovely adverbs created using the suffix -ly. This time, though, the root word ends in ‘y’ and has more than one syllable. Can you see what change has been made to each root word when the 'ly' has been added?

angrily

lazily

easily

busily

greedily

messily

wearily

cheekily

clumsily

The following spellings are for the Friday of the first week back after half term (6th November!). They are all words where an adverb has been created using the suffix –ly but there has been no change to the root word. Remember to learn the meanings too so that you can use them in your writing!
