Year 3, 4 and 5 Spelling Lists
Spelling Homework – Week Beginning 22nd April
Spelling Rule: The /zure/ sound spelt – sure, and the /chure/ sound spelt –ture.
Why do we have this rule? These are similar sounding endings, but are spelt differently. The –ture ending must not be confused with adding the –er suffix to a root word ending in (t)ch e.g. teacher.
Year 4 word list:
picture, creature, furniture, nature, puncture,
measure, pleasure, treasure, enclosure,
Year 5 word list:
literature, sculpture, scripture, punctured, fractured, adventure,
measure, pleasure, treasure, enclosure,
REMEMBER – part 1 of your spelling homework is to be using the focus words to practise the rule for the week. There is also a spelling booklet on the website if you would like further practise (these do not need to be handed in as they are not part of the weekly homework tasks, there are also answer sheets so you can check your work). Part 2 is working on your word list words.
Spelling Homework – Week Beginning 15th April
This week, we will not be having a spelling lesson as we will be completing our R.E. learning for this half term. We will be completing our word list tests during this week (word lists are above). Make sure you look over your lists from the last test and practise the words that are not highlighted. Remember, we are nearly at the end of the school year, so you should know nearly all the words for your year group, and the one(s) before, by now.
